'''Drumon''' was a [[Techmarine]] of the [[Reclaimers]] [[Space Marine Chapter]] in late [[M41]].{{Fn|3a}}

== History ==Drumon served aboard the [[Strike Cruiser]] ''[[Revenant (Strike Cruiser)|Revenant]]'' in the 930's.M41, when [[Imperial Guard]] [[Commissar]] [[Ciaphas Cain]] was assigned as the strike force's liaison, during [[Viridian Expeditionary Force|its mission ]] to [[Viridia]]{{Fn|3a}}, and its subsequent pursuit of the [[space hulk]] ''[[Spawn of Damnation]]''.{{Fn|3}} In fact, the Reclaimers first made Cain's acquaintance when he appeared at the other end of a [[Dolmen Gate]], escaping the denizens of a [[Necron Tomb]] that the Reclaimers were about to demolish.{{Fn|2}} Cain had lost two fingers to a glancing hit from a Necron [[Gauss weapon]], and Drumon collaborated with [[Apothecary]] [[Sholer]] to create an [[augmetic]] replacement for the fingers. {{Fn|3a}} This replacement served Cain faithfully for the rest of his life.{{Fn|33a}}{{Cite this}}

Cain found [[Space Marines]] hard to read, but Drumon seemed to take a liking to him during Cain's time with the Reclaimers. [[Amberley Vail]], Cain's unofficial biographer, echoed this belief, stating that Drumon considered Cain "as close to a friend as possible for anyone outside his Chapter."{{Fn|1}} At times, Drumon would even spar with Cain during his [[chainsword]] drills, and, impressively, Cain managed to hold his own, even against an [[Astartes]].{{Fn|3}}
