Samanta Khol was born, in a tent in the settlement that was eventually named Helm's Deep but was then known as Alpha-Three, a mere thirteen days after Avernus was settled making her one of the first children born on Avernus and quite possibly the oldest still surviving, given how many children died in the first five years. During her early years she saw the deaths of pretty much every other child and saw first hand exactly how hard life was before the cities of Avernus were fully set up. It is in these years that her cold mask was formed as a way to shield her from the death that she was surrounded with.

At the age of fifteen Samanta Khol applied for the Avernite Officers Academy and was accepted despite her young age due to her brilliant scholastic records and aceing of the entry tests, both academic and physical. She was the youngest member of the Academy for her entire time there which combined with her stunted social skills and cold mask led to her remaining socially isolated, a common condition for her.

A mere nine months after graduating at the age of eighteen Samanta Khol was immediately thrown into the First Battle of Dis where she proved herself by taking command of her company after the captain and senior Lieutenants were killed. She was promoted to Capitan for her actions making her the youngest Captain in Avernite history, having reached that age while still nineteen. She continued to rise though the ranks with remarkable speed despite her totally lack of social skills due to her tactical and administrative skills as well as her personal bravery and master of the sword. At the age of twenty-four she was promoted to colonel after exemplary action fighting the Necrons at Dorthonion. In the following recruitment drive she was promoted to Brigadier and given command of a full brigade at the age of twenty-nine. She continued to rapidly rise though the ranks until reaching the rank of Lieutenant-General at the age of thirty-seven. Since then she has commanded the PDF of Avernus Spine with great skill despite the rumours that have gathered about her and her poor social skills.

In person General Samanta Khol is every bit the 'Ice Princess' that rumour paints her as, though you can see a bit of emotion behind her mask. She is incredibly confidant and always fights her battles with a level of tactical acumen that is rarely seen outside of the greatest generals, always taking into account al aspects of the terrain and forces under her command. This is only just enough to counter the fact that she has absolutely no social skills and is one of the least inspiring generals that you have met. You think that if she can develop a few more social skills and become a better leader, rather then commander, she has the potential to become one of the best genrals in the Nine Worlds
