Assumpta is a Battle Sister of the Order of the Bloody Rose who, in the aftermath of the Great Rift's creation, was struck by a divine vision as she was aboard a fleet of ships, containing multiple Preceptories of the Order, that was en route to the Realm of Ultramar.

Her vision showed her the lone world in the Thresh System and, though Assumpta had yet to see combat, the Preceptories' Canonesses took her vision seriously and the fleet was rerouted to the system. Once there, the Sisters deployed to the Thresh System's lone world and waited as the Canonessess prayed for guidance. Their duty was then made clear to them, when a tendril of Hive Fleet Ouroboris appeared and was drawn to the Sisters' presence. Great waves of Tyranids then invaded the barren world and in the battle that followed, the Sisters denied the Xenos the chance to feed off any biomass, by burning the dead to ashes. After six months of battle, the influx of Hive Fleet Ouroboris into the Thresh System ceased and six months later, the last of the Hive Fleet's Tyranids was finally killed. Assumpta was the only member of the Bloody Rose Preceptories to survive the fierce battle.[1]
