Kharavyxis Kestra
Kharavyxis Kestra is a Dark Eldar Wych of the Cult of Strife. She acts as the Hekatrix of Lelith Hesperax's Bloodbrides and de facto second in command of the Cult.[1a]
Like Lelith, Kestra had also been a follower of the Ynnari but unlike her master had closer personal ties to Yvraine. When this became apparent, Lelith became enraged that Kestra held loyalty for another besides her. Later in the battle on Ilmaren, Kestra was mortally wounded when a group of wyches aboard a Venom attempted to assassinate Lelith. As she lay dying, Lelith promised Kestra that she would receive no resurrection from a Haemonculus that after she died her soul would be left to the predations of Slaanesh. Lelith drank in her former lieutenants terror as she died in front of her.[1b]
