===Meeting with Eisenhorn===
Bequin joined the Inquisitor's team on the planet of [[Hubris]] while he was searching for the mass-murderer [[Murdin Eyclone]], who had killed 12,142 citizens of the planet in a failed attempt to resurrect [[Pontius Glaw]]. At that time, she had been working as a pleasure girl [[joygirl]] for a [[Joy House]] in the Sun Dome for four years under the pseudonym of "Lise B". She came to Eisenhorn's attention during a raid on a suspected [[cultist]] hideout, when she saved his life by killing his would-be attacker.{{Fn|1a}}
According to Bequin, she had been an outcast for most of her life, and not particularly successful in her latest profession. Eisenhorn, a [[psyker]], was quickly able to discern the reason: she is a [[Blank]], a staggeringly rare attribute that nullifies the effects of [[psychic]] or [[daemonic]] effects in her vicinity. This aura had the unfortunate side effect of making her naturally repellant to most other humans, including non-psykers, despite her outstanding beauty. Eisenhorn himself was repulsed, but quickly saw the value of having a Blank in his [[Inquisitorial retinue|entourage]], and offered her temporary employment.{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}
