Viton Tahn
Viton Tahn was a veteran Xiphon Interceptor pilot in the Iron Hands Legion, during the Great Crusade and in its later years he became something of a legend to his peers in Clan Morragul. He was stationed aboard the Red Talon, when it took part in the Dropsite Massacre and Tahn suffered grievous wounds, as he attempted to breakthrough the Traitors' blockade above Isstvan V. He was able to guide his damaged Interceptor back to the Red Talon, but it was thought that Tahn's wounds would force him to be interred within a Dreadnought, in order to survive. However, his fellow pilots suggested an unconventional alternative and once Tahn consented to the operation, an Apothecarion grafted his most vital organs to his Xiphon Interceptor. The operation was a success and Tahn remained the most skilled pilot amongst the Red Talon's orbital assault wings.[1]
