Quentin Sharp

Quentin Sharp is a Command Centurion who leads the Dragonslayers, a unit assigned to Hadrian Marlowe. He is identifiable by a burn scar on his forehead and bald scalp beneath his full-face helmet.

Sharp serves throughout the Ashes of Man campaign with steady competence, leading the assault on the MINOS fortress on Ganelon, commanding the landing party on Perfugium, and holding the defensive line in the south terminal tunnels as Cielcin forces overrun the position. His unit suffers losses of roughly half its strength across the campaign. He accepts the deaths of his men with stoic pragmatism, telling Hadrian there are worse ways to die than saving the Emperor.

Sharp is killed when transport E-17, aboard which he escapes Perfugium with Valka and twenty-five surviving Dragonslayers, is destroyed.
