Athene DuCade
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Athene DuCade was an Admiral of the Imperial Armada during the Great Crusade. A decorated veteran and capable commander, she was highly trusted by the Blood Angels Primarch Sanguinius, who put her in command of his flagship Red Tear.[1a] However with the coming of the Horus Heresy and the betrayal of the Blood Angels by Horus, the Blood Angels fleet was beset by Daemons over Signus Prime. Overwhelmed by the powers of Chaos, DuCade went mad and steered the ship onto the surface of the planet before committing suicide.[1b]
