Changes

'''Amendera Kendel''' was born around thirty years before the [[Horus Heresy]]{{fnFn|1a}} recruited from a world in the [[Belladone Reach]] by the [[Silent Sisterhood]]. She met [[Emrilia Herkaaze]] in the hold of the [[Black Ship]] and the two became friends during their aspirant trials.{{fnFn|2}}

At some point Kendel and Herkaaze encountered a fire-[[psyker|witch]] on [[Sheol Trinus]]. Unwilling to fall back and regroup, Herkaaze was struck by burning debris that blinded her left eye and badly scarred her face. The friendship between the two soured afterwards as Herkaaze blamed Kendel for not supporting her.{{fnFn|2}}

By the end of the [[Great Crusade]], Kendel had achieved the rank of [[Oblivion Knight]], commanding the [[Black Ship]] ''Aeria Gloris'' and the Storm Dagger [[Witchseeker]] Cadre. Kendel's cadre was assigned to aid the [[Death Guard]] [[Space Marine Legion|Legion]] in exterminating an incursion by the [[Jorgall]], a [[xenos]] species, towards the end of the [[Great Crusade]].{{fnFn|1a}} During this action she came into contact with Death Guard [[Battle-Captain]] [[Nathaniel Garro]], who impressed her with his dutiful service.{{fnFn|1b}}

Kendel and the ''Aeria Gloris'' intercepted the ''[[Phalanx]]'' in the [[Sol System]] when it returned with the survivors of the ''[[Eisenstein]]'' aboard, taking [[Euphrati Keeler]] into custody as a psyker. Kendel guarded the survivors of the ''Eisenstein'' incident on [[Luna]] while they waited for their fate to be decided, leading her cadre into battle with the corrupted [[Solun Decius]].{{fnFn|1c}}

Kendel was sent by Knight-Commander [[Jenetia Krole]] and Witchseeker Pursuivant [[Celia Harroda]] to track down the missing Black Ship ''Validus'' commanded by fellow Oblivion Knight Herkaaze. The two Knights tracked down the psyker gestalt that had taken over the ship. After it claimed to be a future version of [[Leilani Mollitas]], an aspirant accompanying Kendel, Herkaaze attacked the Leilani Mollitas of the present and killed her to end the threat before it began. Left alone with Kendel, Herkaaze broke her Vow of Tranquillity, chastising Kendel for thinking that the message from the future was worth hearing and claiming only the [[Emperor of Mankind|God-Emperor]] had the right to change the course of history.{{fnFn|2}}

Kendel became Malcador's Agentia Tertius, marked with a brand of liquid metal scars that formed the sigil of the [[Regent of Terra]], imbuing her with his authority. She also relinquished the Vow of Tranquillity, though she considered her oaths changed rather than broken. She returned to the [[Somnus Citadel]] to recruit [[Bajun Kyda]] and [[Helig Gallor]] for a mission to [[Proxima Majoris]]. After discovering that the leaders of Proxima Majoris had betrayed the [[Imperium]], Kendel became the first human to declare [[Exterminatus]].{{fnFn|3}}

Kendel cut a lithe figure, even in her armour. She wore fine chainmail and golden armour plate, the torso section of which was crafted to resemble a bodice. She wore her purple-black hair up in a topknot, exposing the red [[aquila]] tattooed on her head. A red aquila was also etched across her armour, above her shoulder blades.{{fnFn|1a}}
