==History==
Originally a Blood Claw of the [[Grimbloods]] (the [[Great Company]] of [[Kjarl Grimblood]]), Drenn was 'promoted' to the ranks of a [[Skyclaw]] Assault Pack called the '''Flame Hunters''', led by the [[Wolf Guard]] [[Svenbald]], due to his rebellious and antagonistic tendencies. Drenn chafed under Svenbald's leadership, considering the pack leader to be "all boast and no teeth". Svenbald, in turn, refused to acknowledge Drenn's deed-name of '''Redblade''' and his pack-mates thought that Drenn was an impetuous firebrand.{{Fn|2}}

'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a member of the [[Deathwatch]]. Hailing from the [[Space Wolves]] [[Chapter]] where he served as a [[Blood Claw]], Drenn is a young and brutal close-range fighter. It is rumored that his assignment to the Deathwatch was a scheme by his [[Wolf Lord]] [[Kjarl Grimblood]] to end his excessive boasting.{{Fn|1}}
==Biography==Originally a Blood Claw of the [[Grimbloods]], Drenn was 'promoted' to the ranks of a [[Skyclaw|Skyclaw Assault Pack]] called the [[Flame Hunters]], led by the [[Wolf Guard]] [[Svenbald]], due to his rebellious and antagonistic tendencies. Drenn chafed under Svenbald's leadership, considering the pack leader to be "all boast and no teeth". Svenbald, in turn, refused to acknowledge Drenn's deed-name of '''Redblade''' and his pack-mates thought that Drenn was an impetuous firebrand.{{Fn|2}} When the [[Imperium of Man|Imperial]] gas giant [[Theron (Planet)|Theron]] was invaded by [[Ork]]s, eight packs of the Grimbloods were deployed to fight them. Drenn's pack was assigned to guard '''Platform Epsilon 9-17''', one of the many mobile lightning conductors suspended in Theron's atmosphere, from waves of greenskins that swarmed from a [[Rok]]. Also defending the Platform was a Deathwatch [[Kill-Team]] led by [[Caius Vorens]].{{Fn|2}}
The initial wave of Orks was easily repelled by the Platform's [[Servitor]]s, with only six greenskins actually landing on the platform itself. Drenn, eager for a fight, proceeded to kill all six of the xenos single-handedly. A second wave containing [[Stormboyz]] soon followed and was also purged by the combined defenders of Epsilon 9-17 with minor casualties. Vorens wished to rig the Platform with [[Melta bomb|melta-charges]] and retreat before a third wave of Orks arrived, as he believed that, following the Stormboyz' failure, the Orks would attempt to damage the Platform and kill as many of the defenders as possible using [[Bommer]]s. Drenn protested, but was overruled by Svenbald.{{Fn|2}}
==Wargear==
Drenn is equipped with two [[Close Combat Weapons|close-combat weapons]] — the [[Chainsword]] '''''Graam''''' and a [[Astartes Combat Knife|hook-tipped combat knife]] named '''''Fang'''''. For ranged weaponry, Drenn wields '''''Xenobane''''', a [[Bolter]] given to him by Caius Vorens after their honour duel. In addition, he is trained in the use of a [[Jump pack]].{{Fn|2}}
