Sent to provide backup to the Ultramarines during a war against the Necron on the planet Paradyce, Sa'kan's ship crashes leaving him the only survivor of his unit.

==Personality ==
While the Warhammer 40k universe has a notable lack of truly heroic characters, the Salamander Legion are the exception to this rule. Salamanders are beings of great compassion, and are known as the most affable and heroic of the Space Marine chapters. Sa'kan has an intense drive to do what's right and will protect innocent lives no matter what it takes to do so. He acknowledges his appearance is fearsome, yet he is through and through a shining example of selflessness and humanity, seen as ironic by others such as Sister Danica.
While almost a literal knight in shining armor, Sa'kan's will to protect the innocent will swiftly lead into brutal efficiency as a warrior should any threat come to those under his care, and this extends to his own allies. When Danica wanted to kill the refugees on sight for simply being what they were, Sa'kan immediately intervened and talked her out of it, but was wholly willing to gun her down if the situation called for it. Soft spoken, Sa'kan does not reject his humanity but instead embraces it, and shows a tender side towards children.
==Trivia== 
*Sa'kan losing function of his third lung and extra heart that all Space Marines are outfitted with is to symbolize his humanity.
