The DA seem to follow hebrew mythical characters, so find an angel or a demon you like the sound of. Maybe try to link it to the normal role the dread plays. If its a podding cc dread one of the main generals in the army of heaven perhaps?

Mastema might be a good one, apparently meaning "hostility" and being in control of the forces of evil, but still under God's control.

Mostly because I like the idea of being able to call a dreadnought "Brother Bob" for some reason

Gailion, aka, The hammer.

Famed from his agressive nature and love of a drop pod assualt into the heart of the action, Sgt Gailion was brave, steadfast and bold warrior, to the point of rashness some might say. And one day had cost him his life.
Surounded and out numbered, he had fought for every gasp and swing of his hammer as he spat his defiance and scorn into the faces around him.
With the press increasing and now unable to swing his hammer, and knowing his time at an end. He had thrown himself onto the ranks around him, and was lost from the sight of his brothers watching helplessly on.

Hours later, with the foe vanquished, and the less stout hearted put to flight. His broken barely alive form had been lifted from the field of conquest and returned to the (ship name) to begin the long process of internment.


A few ideas for you to get you thought process going. It's not very good but it's the best I could do on the spur of the moment.

You really are the Man with the plan!! have a Exalt (whatever it does)

I really like this might change the hammer for 2 fists as it is more beffitting his current internment. and i prefer Mastema "hostility" has such a nice deathly ring to it

TBH what I wrote was pretty bad, I didn't have anything solid to base it on. If you want me to have a better go at it give us some more info and his wargear pre- and post-internment and I'l P.M you what I come up with if you like?
