Origin
Born into nobility on the shrine world of Carthae Secundus, Zerathia was famed for her striking beauty and martial skill.
Recruited during the Great Crusade; proved herself in the cages by slaying warriors far larger than her.
Implanted with the Butcher’s Nails, but instead of breaking her mind, they fused with her essence—granting her eternal youth and perfection.
---
Personality
Cold, disciplined, and calculating—unlike most berserkers, she retains clarity amidst her rage.
Commands loyalty not just through fear, but through charisma and presence.
Views herself as Khorne’s chosen exemplar: rage honed into a weapon, not a mindless frenzy.

Appearance
Encased in crimson power armour adorned with chains, skulls, and gilded crown-like horns.
Eyes glow with emerald fire; her face beneath the helm is eternally youthful and flawless.
Wields two signature weapons: Bonewraith (a massive chain-axe) and a spiked mace crowned like a sceptre.

Legacy
First rose to infamy during the Horus Heresy at the Siege of Nyrakos Forge, where she single-handedly broke the enemy lines.
Founded her own warband, The Crimson Thronebound, maintaining order amidst chaos.
Known to the Imperium as a mythic figure—“a daemon queen in red armour.”
Revered and feared by her own Legion as proof that the Nails can be mastered.
