The Disciples of Dakhan is the elite battle team of House Shar Dakhan of Clan Naga Sadow. Only those who have proven themselves truly exceptional in skill, dedication and determination are granted the privilege of calling themselves a Disciple of Dakhan. Those who count themselves among the Disciples are the true bannermen and bannerwomen of Shar Dakhan, leading the charge in inter-clan and Brotherhood-wide conflicts to defend the honor of the Clan and House.
The current leader of the Disciples of Dakhan is Malik Sadow
Mission
The Disciple’s mission, given to them by Evelynn Wyrm, is to provide a counter to the various conflicts created by the Lotus resistance and the Inquisitorius. In every situation these men and women are trained to assess the situation, and decide on the course of action which will benefit their House or their Clan.
The standing orders are as follows:
- "No matter what comes between you and your objective, your orders are to complete the mission on hand at any cost."
- ―Evelynn Wyrm
History
The Malevolent, headquarters of the Disciples of Dakhan.
As the Inquisitorius and the Lotus Resistance face off throughout the galaxy, Quaestor Evelynn Wyrm saw her missions going awry with increasing frequency. To combat these failures, she decided to enact Order 78. Under Order 78 the Disciples of Dakhan were created, an elite task force for which one had to qualify in order to become a member. The requirements for admission were harsh: 97% mission completion and only 2% collateral damage on completed missions.
