Shas'El Keyl

Mental characteristics

Personal history

The Kill-team’s briefing was accurate about enemy activity: a Tau force has landed on the planet to compete for the same objective as the Space Marines. The Velk’Han Sept also reviewed similar accounts of the battle that caught the Ordo Xenos’s attention, and deployed their own strike team to investigate. The force’s leader, Shas’El Keyl, is a Veteran of the Tyranid battles in the area Imperials call the Xenocide. Once, he believed in trying to incorporate humanity to the Tau Empire, but the horrors of Hive Fleet Dagon hardened him. Now he bitterly resents that humanity continues to war against the Greater Good. He personally has come to think of the thoughtless, hungry biomorph tide as the greater threat. If humanity deserved indoctrination, they should embrace an ally who could unite with them against that evil. Shas’El Keyl arrived on Baraban believing that the gue’la were testing a new weapon. However, he has since come to understand that he has found a technology that may be turned against them. A team of Fire Warriors and a few elite warriors in Stealth Suits accompany him. (Shas’El Keyl uses the Tau Commander profile from Chapter XIV: Adversaries in the Deathwatch rulebook. The profiles for his troops can also be found in that chapter.) If the Kill-team participated in the battle for Epsilon Outpost 420, the Kroot survivors quickly report the Space Marine presence to the strike force. From this point forward, a Stealth team may ambush the Battle-Brothers at any point the GM feels appropriate. The team should be roughly equal in number to that of the Kill-team.
