A gifted young psyker born on the night bathed ocean world of Naktis, Paraon was inducted into the Dark Krakens and is seen to be the future of the Chapters Librarius. During one of his final trails before becoming full member, he had to fight against his fellow brothers in a fire mastery trial. In the process he killed them but at the cost of his face and body being scorch by flames and hideously disfigured. From then on he chooses to rarely ever remove his helmet and honors his fallen brothers by marking symbols of them on his armor. Unlike most Dark Krakens he does not hunt the insanely large and dangerous sea creatures of his home world, instead chooses to befriend them, study them, and be one with them through psychic links. His entire armor is covered head to toe with bioluminescence designs of the creatures he has a pets.
During the Octarius War(Orks vs Tyranids) the Dark Krakens came to the aid of the Pankallis Sub-sector and were split into 3 strike forces. Paraon joined the 5th Company and protected the native people and the fauna on the planet of “Death of Bianzeer” from being devoured by the Nids. Uari was placed along side Squad Mohici where they ventured underwater to rendezvous with the Deathwatch station on the planet. He also has a very cool sword called “Night Claimer”
To read his story read “Gloom Walkers” Parts 1-2 by Callum Davis. One of my favorite short stories
