Princeps (Dog)
Princeps was the favoured hunting dog belonging to the High Legislator of Fuce, the lead government official on the planet Baal Solock.[1a]
Princeps happened to be present when Brother Priad of the Iron Snakes chapter arrived at the High Legislator's palace. The dog took a liking to the Space Marine more quickly than the human guards and officials present.[1a]
During his mission to scour the enemy from the countryside, Priad took Princeps along with him, since the Snakes had been trained to use dogs when tracking Primuls (Dark Eldar).[1a][1b] Princeps played a heroic role in defending Perdet Antoni, who had also accompanied Priad, against several attacking primuls, delaying them long enough for Priad to arrive and dispatch them.[1a]
Fifteen years later (or forty years according to the Baal Solock calendar), Priad dreamed of Princeps as a guide leading him to the key to the mystery of the Ork Waaagh! plaguing Ganahedarak. Priad and his Tactical Squad returned to Baal Solock and Priad was reunited with Antoni, now the elderly High Legislator of Fuce. Like her predecessor, she also kept dogs as pets, but informed Priad that Princeps had died years earlier.[1c]
