Khi'dem was a Sergeant of the Salamanders 139th company.[1]
Biography
He escaped Isstvan V aboard the Veritas Ferrum.[2a] During the Dropsite Massacre Khi'dem led survivors of all the legions aboard the Thunderhawk Gunships Cindara and Hammerblow. Both ships were picked up in low orbit by the Veritas Ferrum before it fled the Isstvan system.[1][2b]
Khi'dem later took part in the boarding action on the Emperor's Children Battle Barge Callidora.[2c] Following the battle Khi'dem noted how the Iron Hands had changed since the loss of Ferrus Manus and was worried how this would affect the Iron Hands. Khi'dem came into conflict with Atticus when civilians landed on Pythos and were slaughtered by the beasts of the world. The Salamanders refused to stand by and watch innocents slain and so began fighting off the beasts of the world.[2d] In the final battle on Pythos Khi'dem was slain by a giant saurian while buying time for Atticus.[2e]
