Early History
Briseis Ligeia was born nobility, taken from the planet Gathalamor by the Ordo Hereticus because of her psychic abilities concerning information. She was headhunted by the Ordo Malleus because of her ability to decipher ancient or cryptic texts. Ligeia continued to hone her abilities and prove herself. Her hard work eventually paid off in the form of a promotion to the rank of Inquisitor.
Ghargatuloth
While studying the personal effects of rogue Inquisitor Gholic Ren-Sar Valinov, she stumbled upon the Codicium Aeternum which pointed her to the Trail of Saint Evisser. She petitioned the Grey Knights for assistance in preventing the Daemon Prince from remanifesting. The Grey Knights formed a strike force led by Justicar Alaric to assist the Inquisitor. She travelled with the Grey Knights to the trail where she uncovered a cult on the planet Sophano Secondus being led by a 1200 year old sorcerer in the guise of an Imperial priest. Ligeia and her six death cult assassians where able to fight their way out of the city but not without losses. Ligeia was able to recover various documents and a tomes describing the life of Gharagatuloth. Ligeia poured over these in hopes of discovering a means to defeat the daemon. She discovered what she was looking for.
Fall from Grace
Ligeia learned from the documents that Ghargatuloth had to completely remanifest before he could be banished agian. She knew that the only person who could do that was Valinov. Valinov was being held by the Inquisition awaiting execution. Ligeia sent her assassians to assist him in escaping. The documents also revealed to her the true name of the daemon, which she repeated over and over until her execution as ordered by Inquisitor Nyxos.*1
