Darkstrider is the only named Fire Caste non-battlesuit character, and much like the Pathfinder squads he commands he is not a combat HQ. Instead his unique wargear and rules allow him to harass enemy units with relative impunity. His special rule mean that after firing overwatch his squad may consolidate 1D6" away from the assaulting unit and his personal wargear (the Structural Analyser) reduces an enemy units Toughness by 1 for the purpose of resolving wounds when any model from his unit makes a shooting attack. A solid addition to a Pathfinder Squad, especially if they're kitted out with Ion or rail rifles & a grav-inhibitor drone to make a fairly cheap assassin squad that while only be caught in the luckiest of charges.

He can act as a commander for T'au in [[Kill Team (Specialist Game)|Kill Team]].
