'''Gunnery Sergeant Harker''' is the squad leader of a [[Catachan Jungle Fighters]] [[regiment]], known as the [[Catachan Devils]], named after the predators of their world. They are superior even amongst their own kind, able to nvigate terrain and use to their advantage like no other. They have been sent on a variety of missions, from brutal demolitions and reconnaissance to subtler rescue missions and assassinations. Needless to say, they have accomplished all of them.^1,2,3

All Catachans have a reputation for being tough, but Harker is perhaps the hardest of them all. While a rumour claiming he chews glass instead of tobacco might be false, he has certainly been known to place his hands into the fire and ignore it. He is also known to easily shrug off blade cuts or gun wounds, regarding pain and bleeding as concerns for weaker soldiers. Sergeant Harker is a giant of a man, even by Catachan standards. His large frame covered with slabs of muscle and sinew. His strength is such that he carries his [[Heavy Bolter]], 'Payback', as easily as a normal man might carry a rifle, without even breaking a sweat.^1,2,3

One famous example of his bravery was on the [[twilight world]] of [[Jorn V]], where his squad was assaulted by a pack of [[Ravener]]s bursting from beneath the black ground. Within seconds, his ammunition loader was torn apart by monstrous claws while the rest of his squad were trying their best to stay alive. Nevertheless, he quickly leapt on the back of the closest beast and shattered its neck with a monstrous grip of his biceps. Then he grapped his Payback and shot down the rest of the pack, alien bodies bursting apart in a shower of ichor. Seeing that all his comrades were dead, he stalked off to find the rest of the company.^21,3
