Bile's Bolter Bitches

Alternative name (Daughters of Bile)

Created by Fabius Bile, designed as his own “primaris marines’ also an act of spite and supremacy against the other space marine legions.

## Origin

If The Return of Roboute Guilliman wasn't bad enough, the arrival of his new "Primaris Marines" only made it even worse. And Perhaps no one was more incensed about it than Fabius Bile. For millennia, he had worked, mastering the biological arts, and perfecting the genetic work of Malcador and The Emperor. Now, some passed over Archmagos and comes to Gulliman with a secret project that not only improves upon the Space Marines, but completely sidesteps and renders useless all of his work? It was like Roboute Gulliman himself spat in his face. Worst of all he could hear the laughter of the other Primarchs, and of Abbadon, asking why his work did not pale in comparison to these primaris. Bile knew he had to acquire one of these, and replicate their secrets.

Unfortunately, even for the great Fabius Bile, reverse engineering 10,000 years of an Archmagos' secret work with the assistance of the Emperor himself was easier said than done. Many of his attempts to replicate the unique organs of The Primaris only ended in outright failure. Unable to replicate and graft the changes of the gene-seed, but it was clear, Cawl had better access to the original genetics of the space marines than he did. Then Bile had an epiphany. Had he not cloned the primarchs before? Why not start with a primarch clone, and then use their genetic data to create the new Primaris organs.

Thus gathering samples of gene seed from all of the legions, Bile reverse engineered the gene-seed of the different captured space marines to create a primarch clone. It was a major success but he did have one issue. The genetic data of the Y chromosome continued to break down and fail during the replication process. Well no matter, he decided that for the time being he would create Female versions of the primarchs, and use their spawn as tests until he figured out what went wrong.

Thus "Bile's Bolter Bitches" were born. Originally built as little more than lab rats, Bile developed a fondness for his creations (or at least this iteration of them anyways, they say that his dungeons echo with the screams of the ones he was "less fond" of). Deciding that insult should be met with insult as well as injury, he decided to train and equip them in parodies of their genetic twin brothers. For now they serve as Bile's personal guard, and perform any number of missions for their Beloved Lord Bile.

Like the Legiones Astartes, the legion was divided into ~~20~~ ~~18~~ 17 Legions. However, Bile seems to have little to no interest in actually equipping or supporting these "legions" to full strength, so each "Legion" could probably be more accurately called a gang. They consist of about 50-75 Marines, each led by a Matriarch. The Matriarchs, and their respective legions seemed to have inherited the genetic flaws associated with their counterparts. The Matriarchs seem to have developed exaggerated personalities similar to the primarch they resemble. Whether this is genetic, or a deliberate act on the part of Bile is unknown.

## The Primadonas

Essential to his quest of replicating the success of the primaris was the inclusion of the new gene-seed organs. Fortunately for Bile, there was never a shortage of test subjects to experiment on when you work with Chaos warbands.

And while the process is not quite a one to one replica on the Primaris project, Bile's "Primadonnas" get disconcertingly close to the original.

### Attempts at the Bellisaurian Furnace

The one gene-seed organ, Bile was never able to replicate, or even come close to matching was The Belisaurian Furnace. The Bellisaurian Furnace is a masterwork of genetic engineering that displays its creator's mastery by how deftly it interacts with the other organs to produce wondrous results. While he was able to reach comparable results with the other organs such as the Magnificat through a fusion of sorcery, technology and genetic engineering, the Belisaurian Furnace's gift of a second life seemed to evade him. As of now, all of his Primadonas use one of Bile's various attempts at replicating this unique organ. None of which are without ghastly side effects. Curiously all of the Primadona's can freely interchange these gene-seed organs through a hole on their back right shoulder. This interchangeability of the organs gives credence to the belief that Bile has not intended any of these organs to be permanent, but instead stopovers until the actual Furnace could be replicated. It seems that, should they be fortunate enough to find an intact bellisaurian furnace, they can graft that on instead.

#### **The Pharmacyst**

The Crudest organ, one Bile essentially cobbled together as a "placeholder" of sorts, so that he could focus on getting everything else to function. So primitive in fact, it is believed to not even have been made by Bile, but more likely one of his assistants. This organ makes the Primadonnas a glorified drug mule. The Vial processes nutrients to transform into a cocktail of different stimulants and medications that can roughly simulate the healing and andrenaline surges that the Bellisaurian furnace can. Unsurprisingly, this knockoff of The Bellisaurian furnace has its own collection of ghastly side effects, and often transforms its users into drug addled junkies.

The Pharmacyst is found in the earliest experiments of Bile for the Primadona projcet. These "firstborn" predate the creation of the Genedames, and have long since deteriorated into chemical addled junkies.

The Pharmacyst is also found in new adepts of some of the forgotten gangs. These gangs have not earned Bile's consideration to get anything better.

#### **The Unholy Crucible**

The second solution, also considered to be a placeholder for the use of early test subjects was a harnessing of chaotic energies. Taking a page from the Iron Warriors with the Daemonculabra, this "boxed possession" would let a minor demon possess the individual when in dire straits. Because the particular neverborn placed in the crucible was generally weaker than the will of the user, this was almost always temporary.

There were three major problems with the crucible.

* The first is fairly expected. The neverborn didn't always surrender power to the recovered mind. The end result is that what was supposed to be a way for the marine to cheat death leads them to switch place with the demon in the box.
* The second is also unsurprising. Because the mind and soul of the person is absent when the crucible opens, there is little control over what the neverborn entity does when it has the reins of the Marine. The dark entity is just as likely to kill her squad mates while under possession, or do something similarly reckless or uncontrollable. Which has led to many who gain this second wind from the crucible only to be gunned down by their own squad mates.
* The third problem is that its diminishing returns. Ironically the more the marine learns to overcome this force, and returns the neverborn to the crucible, the neverborn's tether to the crucible weakens. Eventually the binding fails and the entity is sent back to the warp. Requiring the Marine to either: A) go without the Bellisaurian furnace, or B) Resort to another option (usually the Pharmacyst), thus the hapless Primadona can add chemical and physical damage to the trauma of possession.

Ingraine has an Unholy Crucible, and because of this she tries to avoid scenarios that would lead to the crucible opening. It is also her reason for maintaining rigid discipline and poise.

**The Incubus Capacitor**

A technical solution rather than a biological one, the Incubus Capacitor is a mechanical organ that attempts to use Abominable intelligence and forbidden technologies to perform the same effect of rapid repair as the Bellisaurian Furnace. Similar to the Unholy Crucible, the Incubus capacitor erodes the Marine's ability to control their own body. In the case of the Incubus capacitor the result is that the body is physically slowly replaced by mechanical parts. Eventually some of these repairs can pierce through the skin, and the user will begin to grow cogs, hydraulics, pistons and mesh. Over time, these marines eventually become more machine than flesh. With their souls becoming akin to the machine spirit to their mechanical body.

The second result is that the body of the marine demands raw electrical energy to feed and replenish not only the Capacitor, but also the bio-mechanical parts it replaces. The individuals are forced to become energy vampires.

Many of the Base Aces, Fisters, and Silver Arms are equipped with Incubus Capacitors. Both the Fisters and Base Aces use their fully mechanized members as canon fodder.

Both Abagail the Defiler and Berta Flak are implanted with Incubus Capacitors. Berta, like many of the Base Aces and Silver Arms equipped with the capacitors have made extensive use of Electoos on their arms and hands to absorb electrical energy from machines. Abagail the Defiler has instead found a simpler solution. She equipped a Mark 3 Power pack to her body, which powers nothing except feeding her energy hungry body.

#### **The Haemogoblin**

Bile's brilliant solution to transform the flaw of The Blood Angels into a benefit. The Haemogoblin is an entity that allows the body to rapidly burn through its bodily fluids in order to repair itself. However, the user then goes into a "blood rage" where they must drain others in order to replace what was depleted. In order to survive the Haemogoblin's restoration the marine must drain as many bodies it can. It is far worse than the Red Thirst as those with the Haemogoblin have no chance of resisting the hunger.

#### **Bile's Calefactor**

One of the newer solutions to the problem of The Bellisaurian furnace, bile's calefactor uses his previous experiments to turn gene-seed into a living organism (see the Fabius Bile books). Thus the Bile Calefactor gene-seed is a living separate, almost parasitical entity within the marine. It is so far able to fufill the purposes of the bellisaurian furnace, as well as avoiding the problem where using the organ will erode the marine's control over their own body.

Instead the Calefactor has the opposite problem. Using the Calefactor drains and exhausts the entity, forcing it to rebuild and repair itself. If it is not used, the entity begins to grow and could eventually overtake the body it is in symbiosis with. The Calefactor rewards the brash, and punishes the cautious with the risk of transforming into a beast. What that beast looks like varies with the gene-seed of the marine. The Moon Witches are known for becoming werewolf like entities, while the Red Masques and Opri Chicks taking on a more avian appearance.

Its not uncommon for the Primadonas implanted with the Calefactor to become more brash and reckless.

#### Bellisaurius’ Furnace:

Because of Bile’s excellent work, the Primadonas are - theoretically able to also incorporate the geneseed organs of the Primaris space marines into themselves. So it would make sense for Bile’s creation to replace their faulty gene organs with the superior Bellisaurian Furnace. However, very few of the primadonas have taken the bellisaurius furnace into their own bodies, due to a number of complication:

1. Gene Compatibility: while Bile made the Primadona’s with the intention of being genetically adaptable, they are still required to use geneseed from their own “Founding Chapter.” Meaning that all of the non loyalist legion Primadonas are out of luck.
2. Copy Protection: The Geneorgans designed by Cawl seem to have a high rejection and failure rate, possibly some sort of intentional effort on Cawl’s part to protect his work.
3. Bile Himself: Bile wants and needs viable samples of the Bellisaurian furnace for his experiments. Given how undereqquipped and desperate most of these Primadonas are, they are eager to trade anything to bile that gives them more needed medications or stimulants. As such most will trade a found gene organ in exchange for needed drugs or a replacement Pharmacyst. Bile will also hunt down and kill them if he founds out they were greedy with these precious gene organs.

So while Bile’s Legion could hypothetically augment themselves with Bellisaurius’ own gene origins, it is rare. Within the White Legion: Plasticina Marina and Veronica Lace both have Bellisaurian Furnaces, each for different reasons.

### Failures

Technically all of his Primadonas are failures, as none represent his goal of replicating and improving the primaris project. However some are failures that they are considered to be dead-ends, and completely abandoned by Cawl. For the most part these experiments have all been flushed, but there are some who are still alive. They are forced to limp and crawling in pathetic misery as punishment for failing to live up to Bile's genius.

#### Leigons II and XI

Though he has struggled to acquire samples by selectively stealing space marines that are "Ultramarine Successors," useful gene-seed from the lost legions are hard to come by. Lacking the genetic material to replicate the lost Primarchs, attempts to build them has resulted in little more than twisted abominations. They mostly scurry, waddle, or crawl around the dungeons of Bile.

#### The Thousand Sons

It seems the gene-seed of Magnus does not retroactively gain the Rubric of Ahriman. The Thousand Sons project seems to suffer an accelerated rate of the change, have transformed into chaos spawn before they could even get out of the tank.

## **Batches**

The Legions that serve Bile were ones that were the product of a long and arduous trial and error process. Those created later benefited from the experience and changes that most of the earlier batches were forced to suffer through.

### Batch 0: The First Born

Chimeric Primaris. Mostly produced chaos spawn and a wide variety of mutations.

### Batch 1: The Prototype

Batch 1 consisted of a single Legion, but served as a proof of concept despite their many flaws.

### Batch 2: The Early Batches

Batch 2 is mostly made of factions with plentiful geneseed, or previously worked projects. Led to a variety of issues, relating to genetic memory and mutations that were not anticipated.

### Batch 3: The Mutants

Batch made from Legions noted issues with geneseed. Primaris process seemed to amplify already present issues.

### Batch 4: The Spirituals

Batch that seemingly created more issues based on events following the legions creation. These legions, all with a strong connection to the warp were failures for issues of genetic memory, which Bile took into account for later projects.

### Batch 5: The Prime Batch

Batch is notable for its lack of many of the issues of its predecessors.

### Batch Series 6: The Promise Batch

These batches not only avoided many of the issues of previous batches, but they solved new ones. With series 6, the Primadona project was beginning to offer real potential.

## The Mongrels

### Specialty

Xenos Technology Recovery, Study, and Use

### Battle Cry

Kill Him! He Knows!

The Mongrel are an incredibly neurotic Chapter. They are obsessed with how others perceive them, which leads to an obsession with appearance that borders on paranoia and vanity. Their insecurity that Bile will find them wanting, has led them to a paranoid drive to expunge any sense of imperfection from themselves.

### Gene-Queen "The Virgin" Ya'Wolf

Proud, skillful warrior. The matriarch of The Mongrels' obsession is with purity in all things. She seeks to perform with valor and virtue in all things. Ironically this obsession with virtue to such an excess is pulling the whole legion into the arms of She who Thirsts.

### The Defiled

In The Virgin's quest for Immaculateness is marred by a great blot. That Blot's name is Igraine. Igraine was her Blademistress, second only to The Virgin herself. And while Igraine had a similar pursuit of perfection and spotlessness, the paranoid obsessiveness, was a harsh contrast to the more joyful personality of Igraine.

Whatever differences they had, Ya'Wolf of The First Legion was shocked to learn that Igraine had betrayed her, joining in Abagail's revolt against The Clonelord. She and The Other Mongrels are on a restless hunt to kill every single member of The Defiled, those Mongrels who joined Igraine's revolt, and restore the honor of The Mongrels in The Eyes of Fabius Bile.

## Legion IV: The Base Aces

Patriarch: Pygmalian

The Base Aces, headed by the quiet maistro of destruction, Pygmalion.

## Legion V: The Opri Chicks

The Oprichicks are led by their Matriarch Shazoda Tatu. Their specialty (read obsession) is the use of rapid mobility vehicles and raiding.

## Legion VI: Moon Witches

The Moon Witches are headed by Bjork Larsson, after their Gene-Queen Zara Kardigan, was transformed into a massive wolf.

## Legion VII: Bile's Hatchet

Also known as The Fisters. Rarely seen outside the warp, it seems the VII is focused on defending the facilities of Bile. Even more secret is the Taciturn Gene-Queen Riord Dolor. Given the stability of their male counterparts, Bile was greatly surprised by the poor quality of The Fisters.

### Creation

The Fisters were one of the later batches of Primadonas to be created. Add to that the stability of the Imperial Fists gene-seed, and the sheer abundance of samples thanks to its many chapters, there should have been few if any problems with the creation of VII. However such was not the case. The Gene-queen, as well as her daughters, seemed to have erratic mutations and strange personality developments. Riord Dolor in particular seemed to have developed split personalities.

The mistake was not on Bile's end. No he had already created the Ladies of The Night, the Colbolters, and several other chapters by this point, so many more difficult creations were long since overcome. However, Bile built his creation of the Gene-Queen based on what he retroactively determined was Rogal Dorn's pure genetic information. What Bile failed to realize, was that The Imperial Fists did not have truly have a pure gene-seed. Bile had recreated "rogal dorn's" Genetic structure under the assumption that The Imperial Fists had maintained their genetic purity. Only after The Fister's problems emerged did Bile learn that the Pure genetic stock of The Imperial Fists had been all but exterminated during "The War of The Beast." The Imperial Fists were in reality a mis-mash of different Fist successor chapters who had reforged the Fists. Should the purest genetic material of Dorn exist, it would be in some forgotten container of a Martian Biologis Lab, or with Rogal Dorn himself. Neither of which Bile had access too, nor did Bile have any intention to expend what would be considerable resources on repairing a side project.

Bile chose to take the lessons he learned in identifying genetic flaws and used them towards his ultimate goal of The Emperor's Children.

### Gene-Queen: Riord Dolor

The Imperial Fists are a Legion with many varied chapters and legacies. From the fanatic Black Templars to the Philanthropic Crimson Fists, the Stoic Hammers of Dorn, and the psychically unhinged Soul Drinkers. Unfortunately for Riord Dolor, she is absorbing the flaws and memories of the all.

## Legion VIII: Ladies of The Night

Part of Bile's Early work on the Creation of the Primarchs. Erzabet Kathar was made from samples of the Body of Konrad Curze acquired in trade from the Night Lords Warbands in exchange for an antidote to a deadly pathogen (that Bile may or may not have created for this purpose).

Bile considered her and her legion a success as the batches were stable with no noted mutations. However in hindsight, the problems that would later plague future work with projects such as Project:PRAETOR. At first Bile thought nothing of the psychotic behavior of Kathar, namely because Curze himself was psychotic. However, Kathar lacked Curze's perverse sense of justice, nor his ability to portend the future. Instead she merely reveled in the brutal behavior found in Night Lords warbands.

### Gene-Queen Erzabet Kathar.

Part of Bile's Early work on the Creation of the Primarchs. Erzabet Kathar was made from samples of the Body of Konrad Curze acquired in trade from the Night Lords Warbands in exchange for an antidote to a deadly pathogen (that Bile may or may not have created for this purpose).
Erzabet, like many of the Geneqeens created by Bile, contain many of the memories of the Lost primarch. Unbenowest to Bile however is that she also has the memories of many of the other Night Lord Warbands. Additionally, Erzabet remembers more of her progenitor's life than most other primarchs. As she was pulled from genetic samples from the Late Konrad Curze himself, she remembers right up until the moment of her death. This has made her obsessed with vengeance over her "murderers." She is relentless in her persuit of the Raven Guard, the Salamanders, and The Inquisition, seeing herself as the vengeance of Curze. Whether or not Bile saw this as a problem, he has not acted as though it was. In fact, Bile seems to have fostered this delusion in order to acquire better samples of the harder to acquire Salamanders and Raven Guard chapters.
It is thought that she lacks her Primogentior's ability to see the future and foretell future events. However, some who have seen her elaborate, and almost impossibly precise traps for clandestine agents believe that she has some precognitive ability.

## Legion IX: The Red Wings

Blood-crazed vampires led by Gene-Queen Meloncholia, Bile is watching this group closely due to strange memories and flashbacks they are having.

It was not hard to acquire the gene-seed needed from the Blood Angels. After all they have so many chapters, outnumbered only by the Fists and Ultramarines. The variations in their gene-seed if anything, made it easier to predict future flaws. Additionally the Red Thirst, a closely guarded secret among the Blood Angels and their successors, was well known to Bile. In fact he counted on it. Bile was impressed with the Red Thirst and saw an opportunity in it.

Already having difficulty replicating the bellisaurian furnace, Bile turned to transform their misfunctioning gland into a way to rapidly infuse resources and stimulants into the marine. Thus creating the Haemogoblin by splicing the red thirst into one of his living gene-seeds.

### Gene-Queen Meloncholia

Of Gene-Queen Meloncholia, Bile has less positive to say. Bile, was of course familiar with the twin flaws of The Blood Angels "Death Company," and stories of the black rage, he had assumed his gene-homoginization process would have mitigated the effects on his clones. The opposite was the case, as even the Gene-Queen seems to have compounded the genetic legacy into a single body of mania. It seems that the entire Red Wings chapter was unable to anchor their genetic memory to their new Matriarch, so instead of the Red Wings being linked to Melancholia, they are all still linked to Sanguinius.

Meloncholia is a female clone of Sanguinius who regularly succumbs to the Black Rage, that is to say she thinks she is Sanguinius, and watches herself die at Horus' hands constantly. Given her superior astartes-like body, her only chemical-induced solace comes from The Red Thirst. As she drinks the blood of other beings, she instead gets to live through the memories of those she consumed, temporarily allowing her to pretend she is someone else.

## Legion X: The Silver Arms

Gene-Queen: Argentina Bracchae

Pulled From Legion X (Iron Hands)

The Silver Arms were the first Batch to be created by Bile. Thanks to having Ferrus Manus' head following Isstivan V and experience in creating Ferrus Manus clones for Fulgrim. Making a Matriarch out of the Iron Hands was the easiest.

While the Matriarch itself was not difficult for Bile, it was the Primadonas who had considerably more trouble. Additionally the Iron Hands gene-seed seems to suffer no issues with mutation, making it ideal for experimentation. Because of this The Silver Arms Bile's Labrats, and underwent the bulk of Bile's Experiments. Particularly with the various attempts of mimicking the primaris organs. The Silver Arms have more "rejected" versions than any other chapter. They also have a substantial number of chemdogs in their ranks. These chemdogs or "firstborn" as they are mockingly called were users of Bile's Pharmacyst organ, leaving them drug-addled mental and physical disasters.

## Legion XII: Wild Things

Gene-Queen: Agonia Pams

Taking advantage of his knowledge about genetic memory. Fabius has utilized this knowledge when constructing the World Eaters chapters. However in this case, Fabius bile is in fact looking to avoid genetic memory. Remembering what the War Hounds were like before the Arrival of Angron and The Butcher’s nails, Bile looks to recreate the geneseed of The XIIth legion without the baggage associated with their Cranky primarch.

The Result was relatively successful. The name "Wild Things" seems to be made in irony as the Gene-Queen and her company seem very strongly organized and dedicated. Rather than every woman for themselves as the other legions tend to behave, the Wild Things stress team work and division of equipment. Despite the lack of resources, they make far more use out of their limited supply than the other legions. Agonia makes sure that the equipment is in the hands of the most capable, and that every boltershell fired goes to some proper use.

## Legion XIII: The Cobolters

Gene-Queen: Marie Garcons

The Thirteenth Legion's Gene-Queen was made taking advantage of the learning experiences of The Fisters and The Red Wings. While those two Primadona Batches were failures in their own unique ways, they were the best kind of failures for a scientific mind such as Bile: Learning Experiences. Both the black rage and the plurality of experience from the Fists and Blood Angels had given Bile tremendous insight into the latent genetic memories and psychic connections of the gene-seed. This experience he used to improve the process for retroactively cloning a Primarch from its gene-seed.

From here he turned to a project of special importance: The Ultramarines. Like the Sons of Dorn, the Ultramarines had a large of varied genetic legacy thanks to the sheer multitude of successor chapters. Fabius had learned the hard lesson of balancing for Imperial incompetence and better screen gene-seed organs himself instead of relying on stolen mechanicus records. And a good thing he did too, as Fabius Learned, the Ultramarines chapters were also housing chapters not even related to the Primarch. gene-seed organs from the II, XIth Legions, as well as Word Bearers, Sons of Horus, World Eaters, Death Guard, and Alpha Legion were all tucked under the royal blue carpet. Fabius carefully screened these and tucked away for future projects.

Further still, learning to tap into the genetic memory connection he found in the Blood Angels and Imperial Fists to attempt to tap into the genetic memory of the Primarch Roboute Gulliman. The result was relatively successful, the Gene-queen Marie Gascon does have some genetic memories from the primarch, but most are faint, and none post date the heresy (ie after the samples of the Primarch were collected). Gascon has memories of Konor and Tarasha, of Illyria, of Ultramar, where she sees herself in place of Gulliman. She does have some memories of meeting the Emperor and his brothers, and some of the great crusade, but these are faint, and become fainter the farther one gets from the arrival. For all intents and purposes, she is Roboute Gulliman as he first met The Emperor of Mankind. Fabius did nothing to dissuade her from her delusions, and unsurprisingly, her "legion" was structured in similar way to the Ultramraines.

Whatever plans, Bile had for this project was derailed when Chaos once again intruded into his work. In this case however it was his Genefather and Demon-Prince of Slaanesh, Fulgrim. The Prince of Excess was greatly interested in this project, and sought to purchase Marie Gascon from Bile. Whatever this price was, apparently it was so great that Fulgrim nearly walked - right up until Bile mentioned he would sell her to Lorgar instead. If this boon was from Fulgrim or from Slaanesh itself is unknown, but it is thought to be great indeed.

The fate of Marie Gascon is unknown. Bile had no idea what the God of Excess and Fulgrim would want with a Naïve Female Clone of their greatest enemy; nor did he particularly care. For once, Bile's project was beginning to show some gains and promise, and Bile was pleased with the exchange.

### Other Colbolters:

* Plasticina Marina: Company captain of the Cobolters. When she first heard of the exchange, she gathered her small company of about 15 Primadonas and hid with Abagail the Defiler. They donned the symbol and appearance of The Geishas until Abagail's revolt. Plasticina Marina is a trusted member of Abagail's "Quinttour Vulpes." Originally a reserved and collected individual this cool-headedness has turned into a bitter stoicism, and she is becoming more unraveled as time has gone on. No one in The White Legion is sure why, but it is suspected she is connected to the memories of her Gene-queen. Plasticina Marina has a Bellisaurian Furnace. During the revolt against Bile, Plasticina Marina took a captured Belisaurian furnace from a Fallen Void Trident. This Void Trident was captured by Bile, and had already been ripped apart and disected upon.

## Legion XVI: Ama's Geishas

Fabius Bile's greatest failure, yet it was also the one that he put the most care behind. It was the disappointment and disaster of Ama's Geishas that is the why the Bolter Bitches are little more than prowling gangs.

## The White Legion

### Specialty

Diplomacy, Mercantile Interests, Fighting Chaos, Conventional Warfare, Information Brokering

### Fortress-Monastery

Nomadic Chapter (Use the Ship The Novihomo)

### Battle Cry

"No gods but The Emperor, No Lord but Gulliman!""We are Returned! Death to The False Clonelord!"

### Gene-Queen Ama Trasu

To make a clone of Horus, was practically child's play for the Great Clonelord Fabius Bile. A clone of Horus was one of his first great creations. It was also something that, at this point, he could do by accident. Hell, he had a dozen different clone and clone pieces floating around his Laboratory already. So once these Gene-queens were beginning to show promise, Bile saw the unique opportunity that A new "Daughters of Horus" presented. Thus he set to work on his craft to not merely replicate Horus, but to improve on Lupercal. This new Lupercal would be impeccably charismatic, the mightiest warrior, stronger than the primarchs, and standing a foot taller than even Vulkan. Above all she would be personally and singularly loyal to none but Bile himself.

Bile's rigorous and thorough condition was, like most of his projects, flawless. The creature, that he named Ama Trasu was Fabius' perfect General to lead Bile's own armies. With such a perfect creation, Bile had greater designs than merely replicating the Primaris. No now he could do so much more, Amaterasu was the key to tossing aside Abaddon and the rest of the demon primarchs that enabled him. She could easily usurp the mantle of the Black Legion from Abaddon, and offer a better champion to the ruinous powers. It would be as though Horus was truly resurrected, except this time, hopelessly and absolutely loyal to Fabius Bile. This Amaterasu could sweep aside the self indulgent and destructive Ruinous powers, and the backwards decadent Imperium. Ama Trasu would be the mother to Fabius' new man.

### Abagail the Defiler

*"Ama was a bitch, Ama was a tool"* - Abagail the Defiler.

Fabius had such high hopes for Ama Trasu, however, as it is commonly said in the Imperium, "Hope is the First Step on The Road to Disappointment."

Enter Abagail. The full origin of this woman is unknown, she was purchased as a slave by Bile while she was very young for the purpose of implanting with the gene-seed of Ama Trasu. However, according to her own account, she was born and raised the daughter of a prominent Rogue Trader House A'Dumas, and because of this was being prepared in the ways of intrigue, diplomacy and leadership, at the earliest age in order to succeed her father. Whether it was by unfortunate circumstance or perhaps family intrigue, the ship holding heir apparent to House A'Dumas was captured by Chaos Warbands as it explored the fringes of space. Most of the ship and crew were plundered and Abagail herself was taken prisoner. What horrors and ordeals the child survived before being sold to Bile, Abagail has never said.

Abagail was found to be fit for the project and so she was forced to undertake the process of becoming a Primadona. Curiously, she did not take on the characteristics of others Geishas and adopt the physical resemblance of Ama Terasu herself. Despite the ridicule and hardship, her skills as a pilot and a diplomat saw her gain prominence among the gang, eventually forcing the respect of her fellow geishas, and even the respect of Ama Terasu herself.

Abagail did not settle into her role, unlike many of the other girls, who either blocked out, or were simply too young to remember their past, Abagail remembered her father and swore vengeance against the relative she suspected was behind her demise. What's more the more she remained in the circle of Ama Terasu, the more she learned about her Gene-Queen's true purpose. Using her position as Ama Terasu's lieutenant she was able to find other members of the Bolter Bitches who were dissatisfied with their lot, such as Ingraine of The Mongrels, Berta Flak Cannon of The Base Aces, Marina of the Cobolters, and Veronica Lace of The Red Masques.

When the time was right, Abagail and her allies mutinied from Ama Trasu. Seizing her flagship the Novihomo from her control and brutally murdering Ama Trasu and her loyalists, the ship fled into Imperial Space.

### The White Legion

Abagail took her rogue elements from Bile's Experiments and out of disparate parts, built "The White Legion." Knowing that her crew could never go back into Chaos controlled space, while at the same time, knew the Imperium would be loathe to accept a defilement of the Emperor's handiwork. They are alone, and confine themselves to the forgotten and remote sectors of imperial space. Currently they have found success pretending to be a Sororitas order in Imperium Nihlus, so long as they leave immediately after the battle. When introducing herself to imperial officials she usually goes by Abagail Fidelitas, but among her closest companions she calls herself "Abagail The Defiler," out of recognition that her existence is a travesty to the Emperor's Light. She is under no delusion that she will ever gain the Imperium's acceptance, but she doesn't need it. She wants only their tolerance and not to impede her plans.

Abagail has been slowly building her "Legions" strength. Gathering girls from feudal worlds, Gue'vasa colonies, underhive gangers, and slave camps, Abagail's Legion is almost now at chapter strength. And as she gains her strength and favors with the Imperium's military Elite, she is also gathering intel on House A'Dumas. Hoping that she will avenge her father, kill her bastard Uncle, and retake her rightful place as Lord Trader A'Dumas. From there, she will have the not only the material wealth of the Rogue Traders, the Favors of The Inquisition and Imperium, and the military power of her own legion. Then she will have the strength and power to do what none in the Imperium would dare to do.

She is going to kill Bile.

4. Veronica Lace: Formerly of The Red Masques (Raven Guard). Dour, and reclusive. Veronica Lace is an expert at infiltration and Clandestine ops. She is also a master of close quarters and hand to hand combat.
5. Ingraine: Formerly of The Mongels (Dark Angels). Cheerful and noble Swordswoman. She is moral and emotional heart of the group. Her positive, almost performative mentality flies in contrast not only to the more dour members of the Vulpes, but her former Mistress "The Virgin" Ya'Wolf.

## Legion XVII: The Word Bearers

*My dear Bile, while I was of course curious to why you were so silent for so long, I had naturally assumed you were crafting something. Feeling the presence of myself on your world, I had assumed that you were doing something malicious and had amassed a fleet of my word bearers to take out whatever you action was common for Bile. No doubt you could imagine my surprise to find this lovely clone that you had created. Apart from the obvious of course, it was a near perfect replica of myself, and I could almost see the youthful hope of Colchis in her eyes. So I must say thank you. The vessel fits me perfectly. The vessel fits me perfectly, but i doubt your protein cobbling can hold my form for long. Still a physical form will doubtlessly serve some use, however temporary. You are to be commended for your knowledge of the genetic sciences.*

*Perhaps you are surprised to hear from me. Your clone certainly was surprised to see me in your lab after all. However, you should not have been. Perhaps were it not for your blind faith in the laws of empiricism you would have recognized that your duplication of myself had in fact replicated that same spiritual connection that I share with the warp. I was able to find it as easily as I can locate myself, though I also would not doubt if other entities felt “my” presence and will certainly be watching your project with great interest. I will say I appreciate this work very much, and I will perhaps see fit to compensate you with something I find suitable at a later date. In the meantime, I wish you the best on your little project. With enough effort and time, I have no doubt your flesh craft will be able to mimic Malcador and Cawl eventually. I hope your devotion to the soulless arts one day bears fruit.*

*Lorgar Urizen*

*--Transmission received following the destruction of his laboratory.*

Bile's Attempt at the Word Bearers was an absolute disaster, but certainly a unique one. There were no issues of gene flaws as had plagued the other primarchs. The Clone of Lorgar, which he had named Ahania, had no issues, nor it seemed did the word bearers stock, with Bile able to remove most of the warp taint.

Unfortunately the clone Ahania was too close in similarity to Lorgar. So much so in fact that her presence alerted the Demon Primarch to Chaos undivided to her existence. Fabius Bile had unwittingly made a vessel for The Ascended Primarch, which he took of his own, exposing the Genelord's project to the entirity of Chaos. Efforts to constrain Ahania, now Lorgar, had failed costing Fabius Bile his laboratory planet, and everything and everyone on it. Fortunately Bile had backups of everything, though a good Fabius clone's death is always a tragedy. The current whereabouts of Lorgars new physical form are unknown.
