Editing Icelus (section)

==Inquisitor Lady Mayra Ushas==

A Sister of Battle, Mayra served in Inquisitor Pascal Xabi's retinue at the very beginning of his career. Unlike her mentor, she is an iron-willed, martial-minded orthodox believer in the Imperial Creed. Tasked with guarding the psykers of Icelus's Astropathic Choir, as well as serving as liaison to the Black Ships in the sector, Mayra views psykers as poor lost souls to be tended to and protected, an uncommonly tolerant view of psykers for a Sister that she acquired during her time as Pascal's chief Interrogator and acolyte.

After a certain incident with Inquisitor Pascal (which both she and Pascal refuse to talk about to this day), Mayra took up an oath of celibacy. Perhaps to compensate for renouncing the pleasures of the flesh, she has developed a keen interest in fine cooking and exotic cuisines.

The Lady Inquisitor rarely travels outside the sector, but when she does, she uses her personal vessel, "His Resplendent Mercy", a Dictator-class carrier. Her personal retinue is a squadron of highly trained assassins/ fighter pilots from an obscure death cult that glorifies dogfighting. In battle, Inquisitor Mayra uses an archaeotech weapon that is the envy of many and the source of many rumors.

Lady Ushas is not born on Icelus and regards the planet's intricacies and strange customs with suspicion. She is aware of the obscure history of the planet's colonization and the establishment of the hives, but does not take an interest in the details of it like her former mentor Pascal. She has clashed with many notorious cultists and criminals on Icelus, most famously during the Alpha Legion's failed invasion, and carries scars from a battle with a renown Redemptionist nomad leader that continues to elude her attempts to defeat him and his plots.
