Guardsman (Pariah Nexus)

The unnamed Guardsman is the deuteragonist of the Warhammer 40k show Pariah Nexus. Serving in the Imperial Guard, she was the right hand of Sister Danica and participated in the defense of the planet Paradyce against the Necron invasion. She existed in two forms, the real woman that perished in battle, and then onwards as a hallucination created by Danica's growing guilt and crisis of faith. As the prior she attempted to get Danica to see reason and order a retreat, and as a hallucination served as Danica's moral compass.
==Personality==
It isn't entirely known what kind of person the Guardsman was in life, but it is known she was capable of seeing logic and reason and was skilled at reading a battlefield. She repeatedly suggested retreat to Danica as the battle was lost and remaining in a defiant last stand was a pointless loss of life. As Danica's hallucination, she was always bluntly honest to the Sister of Battle and had a degree of sassiness to her attitude. She would serve as a moral compass for the midcrisis Sister, trying to keep Danica on the path of righteousness despite her deteriorating mental state and giving her someone to talk to on the ruined world. However, as she existed as Danica's own guilt and crumbling faith made manifest, she did not hold back when it came to reprimanding Danica for her zealotry and anger, especially when she began lashing out at others. In the end, she would succeed in finally getting Danica to accept what happened and let her anger go, though Danica would then almost immediately be slain after returning to the light. The last that was seen of the Guardsman was her giving Danica a heartfelt nod of approval as the Sister perished protecting the refugees.
==Trivia==
*Before her status as a hallucination was revealed, many already believed the Guardsman to be as such, as no other characters in the show ever acknowledged or even reacted to her presence.
