You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood.

You can use it as what ever you want. Just have it be "counts as".

I dunno.
I looks more like an officer TBH.

Nothing to stop you from using it as a commissar though.
I would say it's about 3rd ed. Maybe an old vahallan?

I think that the original model's background material had him being an ex-commissar anyhow (something about killing too many of his men or the like). ^^

Kage has never had a model. He was a character introduced in the novels, well after the box set was released.

The bandaged guy is Grease Monkey, the driver.

He's actually not. He's just an ex-Officer, as opposed to the 'Hero' from the novel, who actually was an ex-Commissar.

Black's not an uncommon colour for a greatcoat, GW's officer models have also had sashes from time to time (the Cadian Lieutenant does), Commissars' sashes (those that have them) aren't always red, and the hat is considerably smaller than Commissars were wearing in the era that this model was spawned in.

IIRC he was framed. He led a kill team that ended up killing a high-ranking officer that was some other high-ranking officer's rival, or something like that. So he was charged with murder and shipped off to a maximum security prison. Where Schaefer eventually recruited him.

I don't recall ever seeing anything that gives them an 'official' sash.

The Commissar Lord on GW's website has a silvery blue sash, and the Commissar with the book doesn't have a sash at all.
