Eristede Kell was a top-rated Vindicare Assassin at the time of the Horus Heresy. Originally growing up in the slums of the Hive World of Thaxted Duchy alongside his sister Jenniker Solam, they were the last surviving members of the Kell Dynasty. The rest of their family had been assassinated by rival aristocrats in the continuous inter-dynastic wars of the planet. Orphaned and alone, both were taken in by the Schola Progenium and made members of the Officio Assassinorum. Driven by a desire to avenge his parents deaths, the Officio gave Kell permission to massacre the man who had ordered his parents deaths. Kell had done so, but killed many innocent bystanders in the process.[1a]
Later, Kell was given command of a top-secret Officio mission to assassinate the traitor Primarch Horus. Kell carried out the mission alongside the Culexus Iota, the Eversor known as The Garantine, a Callidus assassin known as Koyne, the Vanus assassin Fon Tariel, and his sister and now Venenum Assassin Solam in the Officio Assassinorum's first Execution Force. Initially expressing little desire to help the local bystanders on Dagonet, who were in the midst of a civil war between loyalist and traitor elements.[1b] Despite this, the assassination attempt against Horus failed when one of the Warmaster's subordinates, Luc Sedirae, acted as a body double and was killed instead.[1c] With his mission crumbling from reprisals by the Sons of Horus, Kell at the last minute decided to pursue the daemonic assassin known as Spear at the behest of his sister, as opposed to continuing on with the mission to kill Horus. After a vicious struggle, Kell managed to kill Spear, but was the only survivor of the team. He then journeyed in the Ultio to make a suicidal attack on Horus' flagship, the Vengeful Spirit. Kell supposedly died ejecting himself into space in front of the Vengeful Spirits command bridge, attempting to land a shot on the silhouette of Horus that stood in its window.[1d]
Kell missed his shot, but somehow managed to board the Vengeful Spirit and spent years hidden to try and get another shot. Due to the isolation and hiding, he has begun to lose his mind.[2]
