Setheno

From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Jump to: navigation, search

Setheno was the former Canoness of the Order of the Piercing Thorn, an Order Militant of the Adepta Sororitas. After the Order's destruction, of which Setheno was the sole survivor, Setheno became known as the "Canoness Errant", and sometimes "The Gorgon," traveling the galaxy alone and continuing to wage war in the name of the Emperor.[1][2]

Though she had no official remit, such was the force of her personality and reputation that her commands carried almost the force of an Inquisitor's.[1]

She became a close associate of Commissar Sebastian Yarrick, and accompanied him on his return to Armageddon, shortly before the outbreak of the Second War.[3] Agreeing with him on the ineptitude of Overlord Herman von Strab, Setheno accompanied Yarrick on several of the early missions to save Armageddon's hive cities from the advance of Waaagh! Ghazghkull. She also stood witness as Colonel Brenken, at Yarrick's instruction, executed General Andrechs of the Armageddon Steel Legion for his blind obedience of von Strab's orders.[3]

She later appeared as part of the Imperial force attempting to combat the Chaos incursion on Antagonis, which brought her into conflict with the Black Dragons Space Marine Chapter. At the time, she had been wielding the relic blade Skarprattar for nearly a century.[1]
