== History Biography==
{{spoiler|source=Dawn of War}}
When an [[Imperial]] Excavation team on the Planet [[Tartarus]] uncovered a [[Chaos]] Marker that leads to an ancient artifact called the [[Maledictum]], Macha mobilized a small Eldar force to ensure that the artifact was left undisturbed. The Maledictum was a prison built by the Eldar long ago to contain a very powerful [[Daemon]]. Unfortunately, the [[Alpha Legion]] [[Chaos Sorcerer]] [[Sindri Myr]] was also keen to acquire the Maledictum, and so set in motion a scheme that would uncover the artifact and unlock its power for himself.{{Fn|1}}
Farseer Macha saw a glimmer of hope: the Forces of Chaos had been denied the Maledictum. But Macha's hopes were dashed when, urged on by Toth, Gabriel ignored her warnings and destroyed the Maledictum with God-Splitter, accidentally setting the [[daemon]] free. Farseer Macha told Commander Gabriel Angelos that his actions had damned them all, before departing from Tartarus with her small Eldar force as a [[warp storm]] traveled towards the decimated planet. In the aftermath of the campaign, she cast aside her [[Rune Armour of Macha|armour]] as penance.{{Fn|3}}
Macha again appeared on the world of [[Acheron (World)|Acheron]], leading Eldar forces in an attempt to claim the mysterious [[Spear of Khaine (Weapon)|Spear of Khaine]]. During the battle against the Blood Ravens, Macha was able to negotiate a temporary alliance with [[Gorgutz]]'s [[Ork]]s, and are able to eventually find the Spear's vault. However when it became clear that [[Chaos]] forces risked erupting from the planet, Macha urged [[Gabriel Angelos]] to use a [[Battle Barge]] to destroy Acheron. Macha was able to teleport Gorgutz and Angelos off the world before it was destroyed.{{Fn|2}}
