==History==
===The Blessed Lady===
Cyrene was the sole survivor of the destruction of the Word Bearers' "perfect city" of [[Monarchia]] by the [[Ultramarines]], losing her sight amid the blinding light of [[Lance]] orbital bombardment.{{fn|1b}} Thereafter she was worshiped by many of those who followed the Word Bearers' ideals{{fn|1c}}, and was made a [[Confessor]] by [[Lorgar]] himself{{fn|1d}}. Cyrene became very close to and trusted by [[Argel Tal]] and [[Xaphen]], who came to her with their troubles.{{fn|1e}}{{fn|1f}} One of the three [[Abyss Class Battleship]]s was named in her honor as ''[[Blessed Lady]]''.{{Fn|22a}}
Because she had kept secret the treason and sorceries of the Word Bearers, Cyrene was killed by the [[Adeptus Custodes]] during the beginnings of the [[Drop Site Massacre]]{{fn|1g}}, and she spent the next year having her soul torn apart by [[daemon]]s in the [[warp]]. Later, she was resurrected by [[Erebus]] as part of his scheme to better control Argel Tal. {{Fn|2b}} However, she was apparently killed again during the [[Shadow Crusade]] when the ''[[Fidelitas Lex]] '' was heavily damaged. In truth she had reached an escape pod and met [[Cabal]] agents led by [[Damon Prytanis]], who revealed that she was a [[Perpetual]] since her resurrection and asked her to come with them.{{Fn|22c}}
