Lotara Sarrin
"Fire the Ursus Claw!"
- – Lotara Sarrin, at any chance she gets in a void battle.
"No one runs from the Conqueror"
- – Lotara Sarrin, before shooting down a ship full of defecting World Eaters and crew.
So what happens if you give a thirty something woman - surrounded by psychotic murderers - full authority of a fuck-off huge starship during one of the biggest cluster fucks known to human kind? That's right, she commits such an amount of void murder that she receives a mark of honour from that swell guy and earns some level of respect from that guy.
Naturally her status as a bad-ass easily makes her good waifu material, that is if you like your waifus cold, aggressive and dominant.
History
The commanding officer of the World Eaters flagship Conqueror since she was 30, Lotara was one of the youngest ship officers in the Imperium. Despite her regular human status Lotara had a degree of respect within the World Eaters, wearing their bloody hand honor emblem and being on somewhat amicable terms with Angron himself. After Lotara complained about Remembrancers aboard her ship, Angron immediately had them expelled. During the Heresy Lotara stayed committed to Angron and commanded the Conqueror during the Shadow Crusade.
During said Shadow Crusade, Lotara balanced her own lust for void-murder and giving Angron lip for wanting to fight his whiny brother. During the battle of Armatura, with the safety of distance between herself and the murder machine, she gave him the verbal sneer of the millennium: Angron: "How's my ship doing?" Lotara:"You mean my ship. And we're doing just fine." Around this time, Lotara also noticed Angron was deteriorating. After some investigation and pointed questions with the local cog boys on her ship, she learned the Nails were killing Angron. How she remained calm and didn't shoot them in the face like she did to the captain of the boarding specialist astartes squads, is still unknown. Then again, she did force the AdMech to focus on repairing the Ember Wolves Titan Legion division. After Nuceria, the subsequent loss of her card playing companion Lhorke and Angron's ascension into daemonhood, shit began to turn to fuckery, because Chaos. Dropping out of the Warp due to human error, left the Conqueror mostly isolated. The Word Bearers either did not notice or simply did not care about the World Eaters' flagship dropping out of transit and even some World Eater vessels did not drop from transit with them. From this point on, Lotara steered the World Eaters fleet (or what remained of it) from planet to planet to satiate the need for murder and replenish supplies.
By that time of the Siege of Terra however, the Conqueror had fallen under the influence of Khorne, which had led the flagship to become a hostile environment to those aboard it. This led to the rapid depletion of supplies and manpower - chiefly due to the World Eaters losing themselves to mindless rages and then attacking anyone near them. This soon led Lotara Sarrin and the Destroyer Sergeant Skane, Maruuk, and others to form a group to try and escape the vessel. They secretly met many times, as they knew their actions would be viewed as a mutiny against their Legion. During their last meeting, Maruuk repeatedly questioned what the group planned on doing about Kharn, as Maruuk knew they would be killed if he learned of their plans, but Sarrin assured the Captain that she would take care of Kharn, when the time came. After that meeting, their plans were finalized and their escape began, the next time the World Eaters' fleet exited the Warp.
As per their plan, Captain Sarrin had secured five shuttles to take the escapees to the Legion frigate Bestiarius and one by one they were filled and left the Conqueror behind. Maruuk and Skane however stayed beside Sarrin, who as Captain of the Conqueror would need to escape aboard the last shuttle, to avoid arising any suspicion. When they reached the shuttle though, Kharn confronted them before they could escape and declared them to be traitors. A battle erupted, and as the shuttles made their escape to the Bestiarius, the Conqueror suddenly fired upon them. Soon only Maruuk's shuttle remained, as the others had been reduced to scrap, and he realized that Sarrin was not aboard his shuttle. Rage then filled the Captain, as Maruuk knew that she was responsible for the destruction of the shuttles and his life was now at an end. Despite this, Maruuk contacted Sarrin aboard the Conqueror, and cursed her before asking why she had betrayed them. Sarrin however, refused to give him a reason and then gave the order to destroy Maruuk's shuttle and shot Skane - bringing an end to the escapees' mutiny

She doesn't have any official rules, but this category being here means someone is cooking up some homebrew.
In Video Games
Lotara is represented in the Horus Heresy Legions mobile TCG. Disappointingly enough, she doesn't belong to the World Eaters legion and comes as a Neutral warlord as Imperial Army, thus barring her from access to legion cards, but in hindsight putting her in with the World Eaters legion might make them stupidly OP due to her ability. Her ability places a 2/3 Front Line with Flank in play for a mere 2 energy, so you can always cover what you're about to put on the field and throw them at what your opponent plays on their turn. Lotara decks are somewhat decent in the 1000 - 1500 rating bracket once you have access to cards such as Mount Pharos to generate some Astartes cards. What is unique however is that Lotara starts with a special card like the Primarchs and Valdor do, this one-off card stuns all enemies for free, perfect to shut down your opponent and protect an important card.
