'''Katherine Elysius'''{{Fn|1}} (later canonized as '''Saint Katherine'''), also known as the '''The Shield Bearer''', was the founder of the [[Order of Our Martyred Lady|Order of the Fiery Heart]].
== History ==Regarded as [[Alicia Dominica]]'s second -in -command , Saint Katherine is said to have been the bearer of Dominica's [[Praesidium Protectiva]], and was well known for her determination and avenging spirit, seen always at the brunt of any conflicts and leading many wars of faith against heretics and witches in the name of the [[The Emperor]].
As member of the [[Sisters of Battle|Brides of the Emperor]], Saint Katherine was one of the six sisters who was brought before the [[Golden Throne]] at the climax of the [[Age of Apostasy]], and was present when [[Vandire]] was executed.
Subsequently, she founded the Order of the Fiery Heart, named due to her fiery persona. She led her order in countless battles across the galaxy, and was declared a [[Living Saint]], becoming a legend in her own lifetime.
