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."''{{Fn|2}}
His reputation for loyalty is unsurpassed and his skills as a bodyguard are in high demand by [[Imperium]] officers across the sector. When [[Ork]] [[Warboss]] [[Uglurk Gitsmasha]] and his hardest mob of [[Meganobz]] charged an [[Imperial Guard]] command dugout, Nork Deddog was the only one to stand his ground beside Sub-overlord Ven Vambold. Nork killed the massive Ork Warlord with a single, extremely violent headbutt that left the remaining Orks totally awestruck and they retreated rather than face the angry Ogryn bodyguard.{{Fn|2}} Similarly, Nork fulfilled his role when Brigadier [[Aloysius van Burenvan]] was swallowed by a [[Tyranid]] [[Mawloc]] because of his own cowardice.{{Fn|1}}
Nork 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. He does not fight for these medals, however, but instead, using both his immense brawn and intelligence, he fights for the satisfaction of his superiors and the [[Imperium]].{{Fn|1}}
