[[Image:DeathMaidensDeath-maiden.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Death-Maidensmaiden]], [[Nyriiall]] the Veiled{{Fn|2}}]]'''Death-maiden'''s , or '''Moraegan''', are dead [[House Escher]]'s gang-members, that have been resurrected by the House's [[alchymyst fleshtek]]s and turned into Escher's assassins, fixers and enforcers.{{Fn|1}}
Only those whose deeds have drawn the eyes of the fleshteks are chosen to become ==Rebirth process==Escher Death-maidens are a grim legacy of the [[Age of Eschaki]], a period marked by extensive genetic manipulation and have their experimentation.{{Fn|2b}}  During this time, Clan [[Chymist]]s developed a method to revive the recently deceased with mostly intact bodies recovered through a painful and complex process involving an exotic chemical concoction.{{Fn|2b}}  Their bodies are placed within amniotic tanks. From there, their blood is turned toxic by a transfusion of chems and the Death-maidens' minds are stripped of whatever shreds of humanity they once had. {{Fn|1}} ==Living Weapon==When successful, the revived Death-maiden retains muscle memory, reflexes, and a significant immunity to pain. However, their blood becomes highly toxic, often weaponized through tubes and needles on their weapons.{{Fn|2b}} Despite their enhanced vitality, the chems that sustain them gradually degrade their bodies, and new injuries do not heal as living flesh would.{{Fn|2b}} ==Position within the Clans==Once they are reborn, the Death-maidens are ordered to impose the will of House Escher in the [[Underhive]] and usually work alone, unless tasked with joining Escher gangs to enforce the interests of the House. Though it is not unheard of for entire gangs of Death-maidens to gather, when House Escher's [[Council of Crones|matriarch council ]] calls.{{Fn|1}} Death-maidens stand apart from the clan’s usual castes and classes, owing allegiance only to the House, the [[Council of Crones]], and the [[Matriarch Primus]]. Other Eschers regard them with a mix of fear and awe, partly due to their terrifying appearance, often concealed with veils, face paint, or masks to hide their death scars.{{Fn|2b}} Nonetheless, Death-maidens often achieve their revenge and eliminate many enemies of House Escher before their eventual demise.{{Fn|2b}}
