Uchultor L'au
Uchultor L'au is a Cryptoemissarius Presumptor Archmagos from the Forge Moon Deimos, who took part in the Charadon Campaign.[1a]
In that conflict, she led a strike force of Deimos Skitarii, wielding Daemon-banishing weaponry, and was accompanied by a Grey Knights Strike Cruiser. In order to defend the Forge World Metalica from Typhus the Traveler's invasion, L'au's forces struck at the Chaos-besieged Systems that bordered the Metalica System. Her aid greatly aided the beleaguered Imperial forces there, and allowed the Imperial Navy Lieutenant-Heraldus Lihua Sheradane to begin her own counter-attack. The Deimos strike force primarily attacked Daemon-infested areas, but began purging any Imperials found fighting the Warp creatures as well.[1a]
Nonetheless, the Deimos Strike Force and the Knights of House Raven greatly contributed to beating back the Chaos invaders. Soon Typhus' forces retreated to the conquered Alumax and Chromyd Systems to regroup. Not willing to give them the time to do so, L'au's Strike Force entered the Warp to attack the Alumax System, which was held by the Death Guard Chaos Lord Thraxoplasmox. However, disaster would strike in the Alumax System, where Typhus completed a Chaos ritual that created a Warp Tunnel called The Sore. The tunnel connected Alumax with the Metalica System and allowed Typhus' forces to directly attack the Forge World Metalica.[1b] When news spread of Metalica's invasion, only L'au's Strike Force were in a position to offer aid, after they entered the Chromyd System. By then, however, she had just repelled Lord Thraxoplasmox's forces from Sabhira, which contained the only Imperial resistance left in the System. Yet the battle still hung in the balance, with no swift victory for the Imperium in sight, and if the Archmagos went to Metalica's aid, then Sabhira would surely fall. In the end, L'au would decide to remain in the Chromyd System and focus on defeating Lord Thraxoplasmox.[1c]
