'''Nork Deddog''' is an [[Ogryn]] in the [[Imperial Guard]] possessing enhanced brain power and strength coupled with the loyalty of a [[Commissar]].
== History ==
By Ogryn standards, Nork is a genius, given that he can write his name (or at least the first initial of it), count as high as four and even speak in short sentences. These are rare (if not unique) achievements in Ogryn development. For this reason, he was taken out of the normal stream of warfare and underwent artificial mental enhancement (possibly the same process used in the creation of [[Bone 'ead]]s) and was soon training within a special unit<sup>1a</sup>{{Fn|1}}.
He was then assigned to the [[Catachan 2nd Jungle Fighters Regiment|2nd Catachan]] under [[Colonel]] [[Greiss]], fighting on [[Balur]]. He was quickly taken as the Colonel's bodyguard, and the sight of the two together became more frequent for the four years the wars lasted. Often they were seen together on the battlefield with Greiss bawling orders and explosive shells bouncing off Nork's dense skull. It is known he has saved the Colonel's life on many occasions, including carrying his wounded body from a disaster at [[Breakback Hill]]. When Colonel Greiss was injured during the action, he ordered Nork to retrieve the medi-kit from his [[Chimera]], which had taken damage and was perched up-ended in a drainage ditch. Nork proceeded to drag the Chimera out of the ditch and twenty yards down the road to the injured Colonel because, as he put it, ''"Da medi-kit is in da carrier, surr."''<sup>{{Fn|2</sup>}}
Nork does not fight for the many vast range of medals that he has, but instead, using both his immense brawn and intelligence, he fights for the satisfaction of his superiors and the [[Imperium]]. He has saved the lives of hundreds, if not thousands of Officers (and troopers) in battle earning him a vast range of medals and notability among Imperial Officers.<sup>1a</sup>{{Fn|1}}
