Athera, Blade of the Matriarch – Escher House Agent

  Athera, Blade of the Matriarch – Escher House Agent - Athera is the bodyguard, champion, and gene-sister of House Escher's Matriarch Primus, known and feared across Necromunda as the Matriarch's Blade. The two share a special bond as clone children of Queen Vhoadycia, and Athera is often dispatched to act as Adina's proxy in matters of honour. More than one opponent has openly backed down from a dispute upon seeing Athera step from the shadows, casually balancing her chainaxe on her shoulder as she tells her companion Stix all the ways she plans to deal with them. This diminutive pet is a Caryatid – a winged psychic creature whose kind infests the underhive. It latched onto Athera in the depths of Hive Primus, near the chem river for which she named it, and has brought her good fortune ever since.
