[[Image:BraggMini9th.jpg|thumb|right|200px|''Try Again'' Bragg Miniature{{Fn|56}}]]'''Bragg''' was a [[Trooper]] of the [[Tanith First and Only]]{{Fn|1a}}, serving in the [[Imperial Guard Regiment|regiment's]] [[Imperial Guard Platoon|eleventh platoon]].{{Fn|56}}
One of the original [[Tanith]] recruits to the regiment, Bragg was notable for two particular reasons - his sheer size (being by far the largest man in the regiment, strong enough to wield an [[assault cannon]] or [[heavy bolter]] single-handed and unaided by [[power armour]]{{Fn|1b}}{{Fn|3a}}) and his terrible aim, which earned him the nickname ''''Try Again' Bragg'''.{{Fn|1a}} Bragg had a simple nature, although many who didn't know him assumed that he was stupid.{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3c}}
In the closing stages of the [[Siege of Vervunhive]], Bragg was one of thirty Tanith selected personally by Gaunt to take part in [[Operation Heironymo]], the mission to infiltrate [[The Spike]] and assassinate [[Heritor Asphodel]]. During the mission, Bragg saved the lives of [[Haller]], [[Dremmond]] and [[Muril]] by grabbing onto them when they almost fell off the Spike whilst trying to board it.{{Fn|4}}
In the [[Hagia]] campaign, Bragg was part of a clearance team led by [[Major]] [[Elim Rawne|Rawne]] during the battles to reclaim the [[Holy Doctrinopolis]] from the [[Infardi]]. At one point, Bragg was shot in the shoulder, but survived.{{Fn|5}}
==Trivia==
{{Trivia}}
The natives of Tanith are described in the novel [[First and Only (Novel)|First and Only]] as having a generally pale complexion and Bragg is not noted as an exception in this regard.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|4}} Despite this, the [[Warhammer Community]] website unveiling of the new Tanith First and Only models for [[9th Edition|Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition]] features his miniature depicted with darker skin than the others.{{Fn|56}}
