Biography
In the Hagian campaign of the Crusade, Kleopas was one of the senior Pardus officers present during the retaking of the Holy Doctrinopolis. In this capacity he fought alongside Major Szabo of the Brevian Centennials under Colonel-Commissar Gaunt of the Tanith First and Only.[1a]
He later commanded the Pardus contingent of the honour guard assembled by Gaunt under orders from Lord General Lugo to retrieve the remains of Saint Sabbat from their resting place.[1b] He also had personal command of the Leman Russ Conqueror Heart of Destruction.[1c]
On reaching their destination, the honour guard's retreat was blocked by an army of the Infardi and the Imperials were forced to defend themselves. Major Kleopas was killed during the battle by a fire that consumed the Heart of Destruction.[1e]

Notes
- Note 1: At one point in the novel Honour Guard, Kleopas's name is given as Kloepas.[1d] This is presumably a spelling error.
