Editing Ciaphas Cain (section)

==Units Served With==

* '''12th Valhallan Field Artillery''' - Cain's first assignment after graduation. He was perfectly content to serve out his term in such a safe and civilized post, flinging shells at an enemy too far away to pose much of a threat.
* '''Cain's Heroes''' - A resistance force composed of Perlian civilians and PDF formed by Cain behind enemy lines during an Ork invasion. By the time they reached Imperial lines they'd grown to nearly regimental strength, gutted the Orks rear, and killed their warboss when he came to figure out what the zog was going on behind his lines. It was this event that caused Cain to "lose" his treasured post with the 12th and be promoted to general staff commissar. The name came from a TV series about the group made after the liberation of Perlia, which eventually became the official name. Cain hates it because it had a subplot about an affair with one of the people he freed and, more importantly, didn't show Jurgen.
* '''General Lokris' Staff''' - After Perlia, Cain was promoted to brigade headquarters and served with General Lokris, who kept finding him new and dangerous things to do, much to his exasperation.
* '''Reclaimers Chapter''' - During his time as brigade commissar for General Lokris, Cain served as a liaison with the Astartes as they intercepted a space hulk.
* '''[[597th Vahallan infantry Regiment|597th Valhallan Ice Warriors]]''' - A mechanized infantry regiment formed from the remnants of the Valhallan 301st (Assault) and 296th (Garrison) after they were devastated during a Tyranid attack. The bulk of Cain's career was with this unit, which was held together largely by collective awe at his reputation, though with a good helping of their own growing competence through the years and a little bureaucratic inertia (They get double reinforcements on soldiers because the munitorium still considers them two regiments instead of one).
* '''Lord General Zyvan's Staff''' - Cain first met Lord General Zyvan during his service with the 597th and hit it off with him right away. After several campaigns together, Zyvan promoted Cain to his staff, both because he appreciated Cain's tactical advice and because he liked having someone around who could relax with him outside the chain of command.
* '''Schola Progenium of Perlia''' - After formal retirement, Cain became a commissar instructor on Perlia, where he was regarded as a local hero for his exploits a century earlier. The Perlians constructed a clock tower that would ring out the hour by having a clockwork Cain behead a number of clockwork Orks, which he thought was awful.
* '''Ordo Xenos''' - Cain's penchant for finding trouble and surviving it came to the attention of the Inquisition early in his career, which led to him being inducted as an informal member of Inquisitor Vail's retinue during his first campaign with the 597th. Vail used him as something of a [[DISTRACTION CARNIFEX|high profile decoy]], and to keep Jurgen safely hidden in the Guard as an ace in the hole.
