Ka Bevync'lyv

Ka Bevync'lyv is the Second Lieutenant of the Eighth Akaan'adiike of the Keld'abe Imperial Army regiments at the time of the Breaking of Keld'abe. For most aspirants, failure to pass the initial trials to becoming an Astartes leaves a few paths to choose from. Those who will not be deterred from serving among the ranks of their desired Legion, becoming a Legion serf is an honourable way to serve directly under the command of those they sought, even if their body was broken during the trials. A few young men might see the trials as a wake-up call and simply choose to return to their families and civilian life. But for the last path of those who will not be denied the call of battle, the Imperial Army has a number of regiments who often serve with the Astartes. It was not unheard of for Astartes commanders, even the fabled Primarchs, to repeatedly 'borrow' certain regiments which had met their high expectations.

The Akaan'adiike regiments were a number of units that technically fell under the purview of the Imperial Army, but recruited only from failed Shadow Warrior aspirants who had survived the trials intact enough for combat duty. Since they had hailed from the same lineage, the Shadow Warriors treated the Akaan'adiike regiments as their own forces and kin. When the Ash-Blooded recalled most of his forces in view of the succession crisis, the Akaan'adiike regiments also made the journey home.

Second Lieutenant Ka Bevync’lyv was an unusual case for an Akaan'adiike officer. The trials had taken an arm from him, but his fiery spirit refused to let his disability hold him back from joining the regiments. The same Astartes training sergeant who had seen Ka's failure saw enough potential in him to approve the young man for a bionic replacement only to be retained if he could pass the regiment induction program. Ka did, and used that same spirit to rise through the ranks. [[Category:K]]
