Palatine Patrycja
Patrycja was in charge of a Mission established by the Order of the Sacred Rose among the Ghoul Stars. Located on a remote planetoid some seven light years south-east of New Drekport, their sanctuary was engulfed in the opening of the Malfactus Rift. Patrycja and the Sisters under her command managed to take off on a battered shuttle in an attempt to reach New Drekport. Wave after wave of daemonic horrors breached the ship's warp shields, yet every time the Sisters repelled them, all the while stearing the ship towards the edges of the Rift. It was there, when only Patrycja and a handful of Sisters survived, that they made contact with the Cobalt Snake. Quintus Severus and his retinue boarded the shuttle, the Inquisitor placing the Sisters in psybonds. He was unwilling to execute potential allies in such dire times but all too aware of the risks posed by daemonic taints. At least, that was what he said to Patrycja, the only one to withstand his psyprobes, promising he would do all he could to cleanse her Sisters. As times passes, the Palatine is beginning to suspect that Quintus' motives might be far less noble. Yet, with no proof to challenge his authority, the only course of action left to Patrycja is to fight alongside the Inquisitor.
As a palate cleanser while working on Peker's Haven, I've dug out the Canoness Veridyan model and added it to Quintus Severus' Retinue. The model is so iconic that I didn't want to convert it, but the classic paint scheme didn't really appeal to me, so I painted it in the colours of the Order of the Sacred Rose.
As I was painting her, I've also updated the dirty brick red paint on an old shrine I had, so that it fits alongside my other Imperial ruins.
The fact that the 20th anniversary of Inquisitor is to be celebrated with a global campaign, has, obviously, no bearing in my returning to Quintus Severus' Retinue.
