'''Emeline Smythe''' is a [[Cadian]] [[Ordo Hereticus]] [[Inquisitor]], who was once a [[Guardsmen]] until she was selected to join an Inquisitor's retinue and later reached her current position in the Ordo. ==History==Following the creation of the [[Great Rift]], she has become one amongst the many Imperial forces that now defend the [[Gilead System]] from any threats{{Fn|1a}}. One such threat was occurred within [[Charybdion]]'s '''Ironwatch''' prison, which was used to hold the world's psykers, until they were collected by the [[League of Black Ships]]. Unfortunately, the Great Rift had caused the Gilead System to be surrounded by [[Warp Storm]]s, which prevented the Black Ships from entering the System. This had led to a build up of psykers, whose powers eventually overwhelmed the Ironwatch's safeguards and were now affecting the population of the [[Hive]] '''Aidon''', which the prison was outwardly attached to. Because of the influence of the psykers, riots had begun breaking out within the Hive and Smythe had led her retinue to Ironwatch, after being unable to contact anyone inside, in order to switch on several failsafes which would detach the prison from the Hive and send it plunging into Charybdion's ocean. However the situation within Ironwatch was worse than she anticipated, as the psykers' powers had caused a warp breach and [[Daemon]]s of [[Slaanesh]] were running rampant within it. The majority of the prison's staff and guards had killed by either the Daemons or psykers and so Smythe and her retinue would have to fight their way to each failsafe. As they began their task, Smythe became aware that [[Eldar]] were also in the prison and luckily, due to her keen mind and sharp intellect, the Inquisitor knew how to speak the [[Xenos]] language. Though both were wary of each other, time was of the essence and Smythe was more than willing to work with the Eldar, in order to end the threat Ironwatch posed to the Hive. After a brief parlay both sides came to an agreement: The Eldar would destroy one the failsafes, so that Smythe could reach the next one in her path, and the Inquisitor would give the Eldar intel, on where to find the imprisoned psyker [[Konrad Boyer]] who they had been sent to kill. The groups then parted ways{{Fn|1b}}, but the Eldar kept their end of the deal and destroyed the failsafe, which allowed Smythe to continue her mission{{Fn|1c}}. This more than likely furthered her [[radical]] belief, that in the aftermath of the Great Rift's creation, the Imperium and Eldar should form a permanent alliance, in order to combat the overwhelming threats that now plague both their species.{{Fn|1a}}
