Alice Hallowette
Ahoy! I'm Commodore Hallowette, but you can call me "My Lady Alice" or "Oh Perfect Mistress".[1]
Alice Hallowette is the purser, Commodore, and Seneschal to House Brahms serving the famous Rogue Trader Shipmistress Emora Brahms aboard her ship, the Mourningstar. She is often either referred to as Lady Alice or Commodore Hallowette.[3a] and Commodore of the Mourningstar, she facilitates a significant amount of smuggling operations to continue to flow of supplies and trade goods imported onto the vessel,[3c] often using auspex-stealthed shuttles.[3b]
The Mourningstar has currently been requisitioned by Inquisitor Grendyl to assist in their war on Atoma Prime. The Inquisitorial warband's more straight-laced leaders find Commodore Hallowette grating at times, citing her shady smuggling practices and seedy associates and connections. Hallowette often has raucous gatherings of Inquisitorial rabble and vagrants drinking in the hangar and outside her shop. She has a penchant for dancing the line of what is legal or not and has a general disregard for authority and rules.[3d]
Shipmistress Brahms is fond of her seneschal Lady Alice. The Shipmistress often speaks highly of Lady Alice's abilities and how much she favours her, both as an entrepreneur[2a] and skilled torturer.[3g] Hallowette and Brahms are not happy about the situation but continue to host the Inquisitor's warband aboard their ship and home.[3c]
Lady Alice operates Commodore's Vestures,a shop aboard the Mourningstar that sells many different armours and weapons of questionable authenticity gained through underhanded means of acquisition, often scavenged from corpses.[1][4] Many members of the warband have made use of her connections to obtain various illegal goods, armours, war supplies, and has even been paid to train fresh warband recruits fueling the war on Atoma Prime.[3b][3c][3d][3e][3f]
Lady Alice is a skilled torturer whom Shipmistress Brahms often hands mutineers over to, the remains of which can be seen tied to the bow of the ship. Brahms sometimes refers to Hallowette as her 'hound' when making threats to would-be mutineers.[3a] Alice also owns a needle pistol.[3d]
