Character History

Kharn Flashback

Erebus welcomes Kharn and her retinue in the Third Officio's halls and takes them to her Warmaster after handing over their weapons. As Kharn decides to annihilate the Officio for Ahriman's offenses, Erebus protects her superior, tackles Kharn and herself out of the building and faces the Betrayer on a lower floor, resulting in the Equerry's death.

When Kharn, Malal and Murderface arrive in the Third Officio for a meeting with the Warmaster Ahriman, Erebus demands them to hand over their weapons. She politely requests that they may mourn in peace, without being suspected of trechery. Kharn shoves her chainsword into the ground, stating that she doesn't want anybody else to touch it and Erebus agrees to leaving it there before taking Malals weapons, conceding that Murderface can keep her shield seeing how it's a defensive tool.

Standing watch behind her Warmaster, she pulls Ahriman back, away from Kharn, when the russian decides to kill everyone in the building. She and her Warmaster are the only ones left after mere moments, a hundred souls fallen to Kharn and her companions. Completely calm, Erebus stands between Ahriman and the Ninth Warmaster to defend her superior.

As the russian offers to let the rest of the Officio live if Ahriman lets herself be executed, she defends her Warmasters honor and tells her to escape while she holds Kharn off. When Murderface is hurled at Malal after trying to stop Ahriman, who is filled with corrupted power by then, Erebus exclaims that she knew the Blessed Lady would not abandon them.

As Kharn charges at Ahriman, Erebus transforms and holds her back, her Katana resisting the bite of Kharns Skulltaker. The russian takes hold of the shiny blade with her metal claws and smashes her weapon, chain teeth receded, into the read haired girl, sending her flying with broken ribs. Erebus remains conscious, cursing Kharn, but is left unable to move. She gathers her strength while Ahriman throws lightning at Malal and recovers in time to charge Kharn as she makes to strike the collapsing magic user down.

Taking the Warmaster by surprise, she tackles her hard enough to hurl the both of them outside the building, falling from a fifty story skyscraper. After Kharn breaks their fall and smashes back into the building, hurling Erebus away, they get up and exchange formal introductions before fighting to the death.

The weakened Erebus goes down in only one swing, her blade shattered, hands severed, the lower body seperated entirely. Left in shock, she weakly calls for Ahriman, saying that she cannot see the Blessed Lady. Breathing her last, she thanks Kharn for telling her that she will not be alone, that Ahriman will soon follow her.
