Line 253:
* [[Sergeant Rock]]: For most of the series.
=== Other Imperial Guard (and Commissars)===
Members of the Imperial Guard outside of the Valhallans, including some of Cain's fellow Commissars.
==== Lord General Zyvan ====
A Lord General of the Imperial Guard who oversaw operations which the Valhallans served in on Gravalax, Adumbira, and Periremunda. He appreciated Cain's tactical insight and regarded Cain highly.
* [[A Father to His Men]]: Noted as having a genuine concern about the troops under his command.
* [[The Brigadier]]
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]
==== Tomas Beije ====
A fellow cadet at the Schola Progenium which Cain studied at. He is Commissar to the Tallarn 227th regiment.
* [[Knight Templar]]
* [[Laser-Guided Karma]]: His attempt to arrest Cain on charges of desertion and cowardice get ''him'' charged with gross incompetence for interfering with Cain's mission by the Commissariat tribunal he called to charge Cain. Cain said he'd pull a few strings to help him out.
* [[Lawful Stupid]]: Burned down a Chaos cult's ritual site before the Imperial Guard could investigate it and learn anything. Lord General Zyvan was ''not'' pleased.
* [[The Rival]]: To Cain.
==== Colonel Asmar ====
The Commander of the Tallarn 227th. He's very uptight.
* [[Knight Templar]]
* [[Lawful Stupid]]: See Beije's above mention for the info.
* [[Serious Business]]: Everything he does.
* [[Stay in the Kitchen]]: His attitude toward women is not very open, which is part of his problem with the Valhallan 597th.
=== The Administratum ===
Members of the Administratum, the bureaucracy of the Imperium.
==== Quintus ====
A scrivener who served on Simia Orichale, who was rather reasonable for a Adept of the Administratum.
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]] -- His notes on meetings showed he was more interested in Kasteen than what was going on.
* [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]] -- Subverted, as he was quite reasonable.
==== Norbert ====
A scrivener of the Administratum on Perlia, he helped managed the logistics of Cain's ragtag army cut off from the Imperial Guard.
* [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]] -- Subverted.
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]
==== Brasker ====
The Administratum adept assigned to the Schola Cain teaches at.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]
* [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]] -- Subverted (the Cain series really does like this).
=== Inquisition ===
==== Amberley Vail's entourage ====
Whilst travelling around the galaxy aboard her personal yacht ''Exterminatus Externus'', Amberley Vail finds numerous persons whose talents she may put to good use. No one had denied her requests for help yet, because saying "No" to an inquisitor is usually suicidal at best. As such, she acquires a personal [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]] to assist her on her missions. Their personality quirks are numerous to the point that Cain wonders if she specifically searches for [[Bunny Ears Lawyer|Bunny Ears Lawyers]]. (Amberley's footnote replies that she doesn't actually look for eccentrics, but she works in a strange business and the people involved are bound to be unusual.)
Although technically Cain and Jurgen work on her behalf, they are still active Guardsmen and as such don't count.
===== Inquisitor Amberley Vail =====
An inquisitor of the Ordo Xenos, she's met Cain during his campaign of Gravalax, and he's remained her agent<ref>And a lover</ref> ever since. Amberley appears to be unusually unaffected by her experiences and knowledge, able to face the universe with a smile and a quip, only occasionally allowing the strain to show to her closest allies. To most who meet her, she appears as a cheerful, slightly whimsical young woman about as far from the normal appearance of an Inquisitor as it is possible to be (which is, of course, the point).
Line 287 ⟶ 344:
===== Caractacus Mott =====
Amberley's savant, a sage enhanced with an augmetic implant that gives him access to an enormous amount of information and considerable mathematical and analytical skill. Unfortunately, this also makes him ramble compulsively as his mind forms peculiar attachments. A decent guy, despite being often annoying, and apparently ''very'' helpful when it comes to gambling.
Line 302 ⟶ 359:
===== Rakel =====
Amberley's sanctioned psyker, Rakel is, by any conventional measure, quite insane. Although Amberley says she's not always that difficult (especially with the proper medication), Ciaphas is habitually wary of her, particularly since she tends to carry a laspistol. Rakel's reaction to Jurgen was how Amberley discovered the gunner was a blank.
Line 316 ⟶ 373:
===== Simeon =====
A former Commissar who went off the deep end, Amberley picked him up from a Penal Legion where he had been fitted with a combat drug injector.
Line 324 ⟶ 381:
* [[The Political Officer]] -- Used to be his job.
===== Pelton =====
A former member of the Adeptus Arbites, he was undercover in a cartel for so long his handlers thought he had gone over so they tried to pull him back in. Pelton, however, managed to cause the cartel to fracture under a civil war by a simple murder frame up. The Arbiters were going to execute him, but Amberley managed to attach him to her retinue.
Line 333 ⟶ 390:
* [[Ship Tease]] -- With Zemelda
===== Zemelda Cleat =====
A former fast-food worker on Periremunda who was caught in a genestealer assassination attempt on Cain, and actually managed to kill a few. Hired by Amberley, she soon showed that she was competent enough in a firefight, and also served to run errands for Amberley in her disguise.
Line 340 ⟶ 397:
* [[Ship Tease]] -- With Pelton
* [[Unusual Euphemism]]/[[Totally Radical]] -- Even Amberley never figured out half of what she was saying.
