Lisbeth

Lisbeth, also known as the Iron Angel, was only 16 when she first climbed into the harness of an arachni-rig. As a young clanner, she and her father joined a group of Van Saar green hivers heading for a new life in the underhive. Somewhere down-hive of Dust Falls, they were attacked by mutie raiders, hundreds of starving mutant cannibals pouring out of the shadows to fall upon the uphivers. Lisbeth’s father, a former artisan of the Montari Artifice House, hastened to don his prized arachni-rig but was killed by a stray round, even as young Lisbeth hurried to strap him in. The young Van Saar quickly climbed into the rig herself, and in that first battle found her true calling. When the last mutie finally died howling under her mechanical claws, the battlefield was littered with dead and dismembered raiders, and she was covered from head to toe in their blood. The green hivers hailed her as a hero, and when they finally reached the promised domes outside the Bone-dry near Rust Town, Lisbeth was already getting offers of work. Less than two cycles later, Lisbeth was known in the underhive of Hive Primus as the Iron Angel, an avenging techno-terror that preys upon outlaws, raiders, and monsters of all kinds. She still works primarily for her own kind, joining Van Saar gangs if their interests align with her own. Mostly, though, she takes jobs to repair her custom arachni-rig or make improvements to it, all the while hunting down the leader of the raiders who killed her father – a rogue psyker known as Alyce Shivver.^[1]
