Saint Katherine
Saint Katherine, originally known as Katherine Elysius, is the patron Imperial saint of the Order of Our Martyred Lady of the Adepta Sororitas, which was originally known as the Order of the Fiery Heart. She was one of five companions of Alicia Dominica, the patron saint and founder of the Adepta Sororitas. Known as the “Shield Bearer,” Katherine was regarded as Alicia Dominica’s second-in-command and was the bearer of Dominica’s Praesidium Protectiva — a large shield said to contain a shard of the Emperor’s own personal power armour that was impervious to physical attacks.
