## History

Warrant Officer Devereaux Sarrin was born on the Frontier world of Travda and spend most of his childhood living with his adoptive aunt as both his Mother and Father were off fighting for the Imperium he spent most of his childhood wanting to be like his parents and would willingly enlist in the Tradva Raiders Regiment, where he found his natural affinity for infantry weaponry which resulted in him being assigned as an Armourer for his unit.

He first saw action fighting insurgents on an Imperial Feudal world designated as Lancehold and was deployed as part of Operation:Landfall which was an operation undertaken by the Tradva Raiders to combat a growing insurgent presence once the PDF was deemed too ineffective against the insurgents unusual tactics. During this Operation Dev and his squad would take part in many raids against enemy safe houses as well as giving the PDF additional training to make them more effective against any potential uprisings.

The Operation would officially end when the main leadership of the insurgent forces and leadership were wiped out in a large scale ambush from both Tradva Raiders and Local Forces. With the defeat of the main contingent of the insurgents the Tradva Raiders began to pull out leaving the PDF to clean up the fragments that remained. Dev and his squad were one of the last to leave and as a result were present in the small siege that followed as they wee waiting for their transport, which was a revenge strike by a fragment of the insurgents. The ambush which would later be dubbed as 'The 18 hours of hell' which left the temporary FOB in ruins. When the attacking forces were driven off the remaining defenders were extracted swiftly and would come to be known as 'The Dauntless few' and were treated as heroes though Dev himself never saw himself as one.

The next notable campaign that Dev, now a Sergeant took part in was against a growing Ork WAAGH! where he and his squad along with others would be deployed against the Orks in hit and run attacks to whittle away the Ork forces before the main strike force would Engage the reaming Orks. During one of these operations Dev would lose half of his right arm to an Ork choppa, but before he passed out from blood loss He managed to kill the Ork that took his arm stating that he wasn't finished with him yet. As a result of his injuries he would be fitted with a cybernetic replacemnt and would miss the rest of the Campaign which he still regrets as he 'Didn't want to leave a job half finished'.

During the years after he had risen to rank of Chief Warrant Officer and placed in charge of his Companies Armoury and related staff. He would also marry his Fiancé Laura Sarrin who is another officer of the Tradva Raiders, The two are still married to this day.

He would be ordered into the temporary service of Inquisitor Marshall Aulirus and is currently still under his service as part of his retinue. even after the destruction of Cadia and his parents missing.
