→Meeting with Eisenhorn
Bequin joined the Inquisitor's team on the planet of [[Hubris]] while he was searching for the mass-murderer [[Murdin Eyclone]], who had killed 12,142 citizens of the planet in a failed attempt to resurrect [[Pontius Glaw]]. At that time, she had been working as a pleasure girl in the Sun Dome for four years under the pseudonym of "Lyse B". She came to Eisenhorn's attention during a raid on a suspected [[cultist]] hideout, when she saved his life by killing his would-be attacker.{{Fn|1a}}
According to Bequin, she had been an outcast for most of her life, and not particularly successful in her latest profession. Eisenhorn, a [[psyker]], was quickly able to discern the reason: she is a [[Blank]], a staggeringly rare attribute that nullifies the effects of [[psychic]] or [[daemonic]] effects in her vicinity. This aura had the unfortunate side effect of making her naturally repellant to most other humans, including non-psykers, despite her outstanding beauty. Eisenhorn himself was repulsed, but quickly saw the value of having a Blank in his [[Inquisitorial retinue|entourage]], and offered her temporary employment.{{Cite ThisFn|1a, 1b}}
She quickly proved to have a talent for undercover operations, posing as Eisenhorn's spoiled wife when he infiltrated [[House Glaw]] posing as a wealthy merchant.{{Cite This}} When the ruse was uncovered, she also proved to be tough and cool-headed in many difficult situations, including escaping from a gladiatorial arena when Eisenhorn and his team were meant to be slaughtered by a [[Carnodon]], and in combat with House Glaw and its retainers, including the [[Chaos Space Marine]] [[Mandragore]] of the [[Emperor's Children]].{{Cite This}}
