Camille
Camille is an Argent Shroud Seraphim Superior, who was a part of the battlehost that Canoness Verena Armenii led to Acheron IV.[1]
History
The Hive World had nearly been conquered by Waaagh! Uggrot, but Canoness Verena did not bring the battlehost there to aid the beleaguered Imperium defenders. Instead she led them to the ruins of the Shrine of Saint Helena located at Angel Spire, an outpost long since overrun by the Ork invasion. There the Argent Shroud were charged with recovering any of Helena's sacred relics that had not been destroyed by the Waaagh!'s rampage. As soon as they set foot upon the shrine, though, the battlehost found themselves under attack immediately by the Orks who still held the area. Initially under Verena's leadership, Camille and the battlehost had great success in beating back the Orks from the Shrine, as they searched for the lost relics. That soon changed however, when the Warboss Grog Chewtops arrived and rallied the Orks into launching a ferocious attack on the battlehost's position. In the desperate battle that followed, the Argent Shroud began to be cut down in greater numbers and Canoness Verena herself was killed as well. Just when it seemed the Orks would destroy the battlehost, though, Camille discovered the relic Sword of Saint Helena near the shrine's ruins and, with the blessed weapon in her hands, launched herself at the Orks. With the Sword, Camille tore threw the Xenos and following her lead, the battlehost launched a desperate pincer attack that caught the Warboss in its center. As her Sisters fought around her, Camille engaged Grog and struck the Warboss' head from his shoulders with the relic Sword. Seeing Grog's death broke the resolve of the Orks, who soon fled and brought a reprieve for the remnants of the Argent Shroud's battlehost. Camille and her Sisters then quickly recovered what relics of Helena's they could find, but all could see the cost for doing so had been high.[1]
