Commissar Lord Bernn

For when you want to wipe the fuckers off the map.

"You die on MY command, not before!"
--LORD Commissar Bernn while reviving lord general Castor himself.

There is always that one character that is the quiet one. Not that he never talks, but he does so very rarely (never in cutscenes) and the few lines he has are absolute manly.

Commissar LORD Bernn accompanied Adrastia, Castor and Merrick during the events of Retribution, and surprisingly, stayed mostly quiet throughout the whole matter. Even though the crazy motherfucker faced a Land Raider, an Avatar of Khaine and a DAEMON PRINCE, he still kept his god damned cool.

Why? Because he talks only when he's with the troops (as it's part of his job, and not doing it correctly would be heresy). No, seriously, he thinks that if he talks at all, it'll draw too much attention to him and then to his scarred face. Poor ol' Bernn lost some of his...features, throughout the countless battles he's been in and he's always been quite self conscious about it. However, he only cares if other commanders see his face, get him on the field with regular guardsmen, and he'll let lose manly lines to inspire his soldiers like no tomorrow. He throws out far more inspiring quotes than any Commissar should, like the epic "Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my sword!", sure to get any Chimera driver pumped up for what will undoubtedly be a one sided slaughter. If you ever want a Commissar by your side, you'll want Commissar Lord Bernn.

Also, don't expect him to scratch an Eldar's ears. Bernn will just punch it in the fucking face.

With a power fist.

In-game

Unlike other commissars, who can only motivate their men to fire a bit faster or keep up morale by popping a head, Bernn can make them invincible, faster-moving, able to hit like a truck full of trucks, and have this benefit apply to everyone on the screen.

Or he can choose to lead through example, Yarrick style, through special moves, balls of steel and sheer Stubbornness: allies are healed when he is hurt and they refuse to die by just being near his relic powerfist.

In fact, with the right wargear and surrounded by guardsmen, he can revive himself due to not wanting to give a bad example by dying just like that.

He can only equip/upgrade his melee weapons, as is in fact the only normal human that uses a Power Fist in the game. If you want to punch Daemon prince Kyras in the face, he is your man.

He can´t upgrade his laspistol, but not that it matters, since it's already able to one-shot terminators, so it's probably somewhere around Strength D, AP 1.

Trivia

• You can't just write Commissar Bernn. "LORD" must be in all caps before it, or else it's heres-YOU DIDN'T WRITE IT AT THE BEGINNING, *BLAM!* HERESY!!!
• He is voiced by Keith Ferguson. Yep, the same one as Ronahn, plague marines and many orks. Heresy.
• He, like Adrastia and most high command, wears a badass greatcoat with a hat. Lord General Castor had to be given a DLC hat to not be left out. Meanwhile, Merrick wears his regulation bald head, Vendoland pattern.
• His cosplay DLC is a Krieger Gas mask. Which is a headwear that he wears under his other hat. So, technically, double hat! With epaulettes.
• He has trained for that day.
• Yarrick's Bale Eye can kill a marine, but Bernn's can bring artillery stri-*BLAM!* LORD! *BLAM!* Commissar! *BLAM!* Bernn!
