Sergeant Pepler
Dramatis personae
Nothing much is confirmed about Pepler except that he was personally recruited by Inquisitor Maltheus from one of the Grovsenor system's PDF forces, where he was shunned from any position of responsibility as a result of his albinism, despite showing exceptional – if not downright ruthless – leadership and combat abilities.
He is now a member of the force known only as the Emperor's Anvil, and a sergeant in the army's first stormtrooper squad. He was the first to begin training with rapid Valkyrie deployment tactics.
