Seraph

“I am half alive. The thing destroyed so much of me, and when it was torn away from me it took a part of what was left. I fear that within me there are still parts of it, fragments left like thorns in my soul.”
–The confessions of “Seraph” to Antonia Mesmeron
Known Associates or Organizations: Moritat Death-cult, Oblationist faction
Preferred Methods of Operation: Seraph prefers a direct confrontation with her targets, often attacking from ambush
when her prey feels most secure. Seraph is the trusted right hand of her mistress, and is often given specialist favors and
equipment if required to accomplish her task.
The assassin known only as “Seraph” is a mind-wiped former Acolyte of Radical Inquisitor Antonia Mesmeron. Seraph
knows very little about herself; only a few hints of her past remain before her service to the Inquisitor. What is clear is that
Seraph was once a member of the Moritat cult before she was possessed by a sinister daemon (Tricorn Reference: X–17-
Omega, designate “Spayr”) during the Inquisitor’s involvement in the Foulmind conspiracy on Protasia.
The skills she learned as both an Acolyte and a death-cultist have made Seraph doubly-feared, and at Inquisitor
Mesmeron’s side she claimed many lives with her specially-made lathe blades. After her possession, Seraph tore through
the depths of Sender Hive on Laskin, weaving a bloody rampage that left no level of Imperial society unstained. Seraph’s
trail of destruction was halted only by the sacrifice of a squad of stormtroopers and the personal intervention of Inquisitor
Mesmeron, who arranged for a full exorcism of her valued Acolyte. This action was not taken lightly, for Mesmeron
intended to use this exorcism to validate her own Oblationist views, and in this,
she succeeded.
After the exorcism, Seraph became stronger, colder, little more
than a tool for her mistress’ commands. Those who glimpse the
chaos-brand upon the woman’s face find it is usually the last
thing they ever see. Recently, Seraph has become more and
more battle-hungry, seeking out ever more dangerous foes
to fight in her mistress’ service. Whether this activity is
sanctioned by Inquisitor Mesmeron or a sign of something
darker is yet become clear.
