Killed in ISD 17061 by SYRIANI DORAYAICA at the Black Feast of Akterumu (Aetavanni) on the planet Eue.

In the instant before the cloud of nahute struck the group clambering into the shuttle, I had a clear impression of one of the inhuman banner-bearers, a coteliho hoisting its slim flag high on its lance. A human head topped that banner, its open throat pierced by the metal shaft so that blood stained the black silks. Shave-pated as it was, it might have been any of the common soldiery, but I knew it must be young Halford. I thought I recognized the prominent ears, even so far off.
