Kage
Lieutenant Kage is an officer of the 13th Penal Legion.[1]
History
Kage is notable for being the only member to have entered the 13th Penal Legion thrice—conscripted in initially due to shooting his sergeant over a woman,[2a] being pardoned after completing the mission,[2b] then subsequently arrested once more for a second murder,[3a] falling to his assumed death,[1] and finally voluntarily placing himself under Colonel Schaeffer's command indefinitely.[4]
During his time in the so-called "Last Chancers", Kage became the senior ranked penal officer, was assigned training and administrative duties as well as field leadership, and took part in several extremely hazardous missions. A latent psyker of minor ability, he was once believed to have become possessed by a daemonic entity during a mission to the world of Armageddon, and to have perished falling into lava—though in the process ensuring the doom of the traitorous Overlord Herman von Strab.[1] He was later found to have survived, crediting his survival and lack of subsequent possession to the Emperor, and later rejoined Colonel Schaeffer's command to save Armageddon from daemonic incursion.[4]
