Dagne Tidreth

*Some music for your listening pleasure*.

**Dagne Tidreth** is a Firstborn Tactical Marine currently serving the Long Vigil with the Deathwatch, Chamber Militant of the Inquisition's Ordo Xenos, on secondment from his chapter the Prædicators. Formerly serving as a squad member of the 5th Tactical Squad in the 6th Reserve Company, with relatively little knowledge and experience compared to his peers. He is the youngest Prædicator selected to serve in the Deathwatch.

## History

Dagne Tidreth was inducted into the Prædicators in 939.M41 at the age of eight. He was recruited from the voidborn upon the mining vessel Coldmole plying the space upon the edge of the Veiled Region, and soon began his Chapters slow recruitment process and passing the many trials before him, to go on to become a Neophyte.

Prædicator Prognosticators began to take a keen interest in Dagne induction not long after turning fifteen years of age and receiving his Catalepsean Node and beginning his Hypnotherapy. As with all Prædicators Dagne suffers from horrifying nightmares and visions. But what makes his dreams so interesting for the Librarius is even without any inherent psychic powers he maintains a great clarity over his visions.

In the final decade of the 41st Millennium Dagne Tidreth received two precognitions that would alter his service forever. The first is the terrible knowledge of knowing when he expects to die; sometime in the 42nd year of the 42nd millennium. And the second is despite his inexperience and relatively young age, being sent to the Long Vigil with the Deathwatch to serve as his chapter's representative.

His orders to reassign to the 5th Company was rescinded and instead was ordered to replace Veteran Sergeant Zhelku at the Long Vigil.

## Personality

A reclusive and withdrawn brother who carries a strange air about him. Brothers of other chapters unconsciously or not keep their distance as there is a perceptible something that makes them feel uneasy. They will never be able to contemplate that Dagne keeps his distance as to not terrify them with the terrible knowledge of the abyss beneath their illusory sense of connection with Mankind. If he were to whisper such things to those unwilling to see such things then a terrible fate would likely fall upon him and his Chapter. For this, he is considered ill-omened and secretive to be around.

In combat he is undaunted, by even an Astartes standard he truly knows no fear but that of the knowledge he burdens. As battle rages around him all he sees is a senseless, mechanical, and uncaring universe, and for that as well as his grim fatalism of knowing when he is to die, he has a cold reputation.

## Appearance

Dagne is above average height for an Astartes. He has; no hair, drawn features, characteristically polished dark blue eyes typical for a voidborn, and pallid white skin with a face tattoo on the left hand side. As a relatively young member of the Prædicators the cold black dancing in their eyes is not as apparent as it would a veteran of the Chapter.

## Abilities & Traits

As the youngest Prædicator to be assigned to the Long Vigil he has comparatively little experience with his peers. With a majority of his experience in the Scout company as well as the Reserve Companies, the Watch Station continue to utilize him in such a way; reconnaissance, subterfuge, and sabotage.
