History Webcomic / ServantsOfTheImperium

* Brianna -- An [[McNinja Imperial Assassin]] and object of Krin's affections. Tends to [[foil]] Krin a lot, despite their relationship.

* Lord Severus Hunt -- The [[TheHero leader]] of the group and a member of the [[StateSec Imperial Inquisition]]. [[CosmicPlaything The whole universe seemingly exists to prove him wrong at every turn]]
* Lyle -- An [[SmartGuy Imperial Psyker]]. Lyle often serves as the [[StraightMan]] and [[TheSpock voice of reason]] in the group. By far the most [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]] of the cast.

* ArtificialLimbs: apparently Krin has a bionic eye, artificial heart, synthetic shin and a bionic appendix. Brianna has also claimed to be heavily augmented

* BeamOWar: the Genestealer Magus versus Lyle.

* CloudCuckooLander: Krin shows shades of this sometimes

* FacePalm: Severus, regularly. Notbly when they encounter fellow Inquisitor Ishara.

* ILied: Mentioned by name by Brianna in [[http://www.servantsoftheimperium.com/comic.php?comicid=13 this strip.]]

** They turn out to be [[spoiler:Eldar, who are in a mission to protect Severus and his companions, as the Farseer states their survival is important to the Eldar schemes.]]

* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Lord Severus, [[http://www.servantsoftheimperium.com/comic.php?comicid=147 here.]]
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks in this case it's a gun, but Krin nails a chaos cultist with one early in the series (and then steals his, just to add insult to injury)

* ThrownOutTheAirlock: They're called "airgates" but the same thing when Brianna threatens to throw Krin out one.

* XMeetsY: TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}} version of Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick
