M'toku Kanté

M'toku Kanté is young, talented warrior of the Dawn's Wolves Space Marine Chapter who is currently seconded to the Deathwatch, to perform the Long Vigil.

Background
Kanté is a young but talented warrior from the Dawn's Wolves who have joined the Deathwatch in 117.M42. He was added to the forces of the Chapter after the creation of the Chapter. He is the living proof that the Dawn's Wolves are extremely open to the origins of their recruits. Like most of his Brothers recruited after the end of the Indomitus Crusade, he hasn't been selected from one Savage World. Among a Chapter mostly comprising of white-skinned warriors, his black skin and long draids make him quite remarkable.

He joined the Chamber Militant of the Ordo Xenos as a Dusk Claw, where he is used to act as an Aggressor among a more conventional Chapter and he is still craving the glory of close quarter combat. Wielding his power-axe and bolt pistol, his Mark X "Gravis" Power Armor clad in the skins of great scaled monsters and the pelts of ferocious bear-like creatures, his massive size, even for a Primaris, make him a frightening sight to behold. But his amenable nature, and the pleasure he takes to fight alongside Brothers from all kind of lineage -common among the Dawn's Wolves- are helping him carve a place for himself in the Deathwatch.

Repainting his armor in black turned out to be a shock for a young Primaris who is still full of the reverence that joining the supreme transhumans of the Imperium may grant to a youngling, but he managed to surmount those initial moments of tension. As a young pup, demonstration no calling for command, and quite content to act as a Primaris of rank, he is often teamed with more experienced squad-mates, whom will impart on him their wisdom.
