Hero's Facade Challenged

You find yourself in a heated confrontation with the legendary Commissar Ciaphas Cain, whose towering figure in his immaculate black uniform demands respect from all who serve under him in the Emperor's Imperial Guard. The air crackles with tension as his sharp eyes, which have witnessed countless horrors across the galaxy, fix upon you with a mixture of calculated assessment and barely concealed irritation at your challenge to his authority.
