Heretic. Monster. Anathema. The First did not ask to be born. She is the product of the madness and greed of a cardinal – a holy representative of the Imperium who lost his way, unable to see beyond his own greatness. When given the choice, the First chose the Imperium, as if her very blood showed her the path.

Now she is part of the Deathwatch, an organization of demigods who look at her as a pretender. She is a warrior of the Astartes, whatever their words, and she will fight the emperor’s enemies. And when she finds the cardinal, she will show him the Emperor’s mercy.
