Cyrene Valantion
Confessor, The Blessed Lady
Also known as The Blessed Lady, Actae, Actaea, Katerina Moriana
Cyrene Valantion is the Blessed Lady of the Word Bearers, a mortal confessor from the ashes of Monarchia, not the Blood Ravens world that shares a name. Ultramarines lances took her sight. Lorgar made her Confessor anyway. Argel Tal told her the secrets he could not tell his own Gal Vorbak.
Custodes killed her at Isstvan. Erebus stuffed the soul back in as a leash on Argel Tal. She died again in the Shadow Crusade, or seemed to, then left with Damon Prytanis wearing Perpetual flesh. As Actae she steered Fulgrim's binding, warned Horus of Lorgar's coup, and walked Terra with Oll's ragged company.
Buried under Erebus's wreckage she kept dying and returning until Dorn dug her out. She threw a hymn across the Palace, melded with the dead girl Katt, and named herself Katerina Moriana. The Blessed Lady learned how to outlive a Legion.
