Maehekta is a Blank that serves Ahriman's Exiles Warband.[1a]

History

She was originally a member of the Curators Warband, that was based in the Eye of Terror. Its members were obsessed with obtaining secrets and were very successful in using various methods to do so. However other leaders in the Eye became fearful of what the Curators knew of them and this led to the Warband being destroyed. However Maehekta survived the Curators' purge and hid the fact that she was one of its members. The Blank would later reveal herself to the Sorcerer Ahriman, though, and offered her aid in helping his Exiles Warband, find a cure to the Pyrodomon that was destroying them.[1b]

Her status as a Blank, though, greatly unnerves the Exiles' Sorcerers. They are repulsed by Maehekta's presence and move away from her, if she nears their location. The Sorcerer Ignis even threateningly warned the Blank to keep away from him, which Maehekta calmly accepted and complied with. Only Ahriman seems able to withstand being near her and even he must steady his mind to do so[1a]. While Ahriman knows of her past, the rest of the Exiles do not know of her past as a member of the Curators. She would reveal this to the Sorcerer Ctesias, who was surprised that a Curator had survived the Warband's purge. Afterwards, though, he could not help but wonder, what Ahriman had promised in exchange for Maehekta's aid.[1b]
