===Meeting with Eisenhorn===Bequin joined Eisenhornthe 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 [[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}}
Before embarking on their final confrontation with House Glaw, Eisenhorn gave her the chance to back down, and was impressed when she refused, determined to see the matter through to the end. In her spare time, she received weapons training from [[Godwyn Fischig]], and was competent and cool-headed with dual [[laspistol]]s by the time of the final battle.{{Fn|1g}} Eisenhorn was impressed by how far she had come in the few weeks since he had met her, and by the end of the [[Necroteuch]] affair, she was a permanent member of his team.{{Cite This}}
Eventually Eisenhorn employed more Blanks and formed them into an organisation called the [[Distaff]], led by Bequin. The Distaff was eventually all but wiped out by mercenaries, although Bequin and a few other blanks managed to survive. Later, Bequin suffered an embolism brought on by the extreme stress caused by trying to use her anti-psychic ability on the Chaos [[Titan]] [[Cruor Vult]]. She was put onto life support, with recovery not expected.{{Cite This}} In 461.M41 the ship holding her stasis tube went missing during a routine jump. During Inquisitor Eisenhorn's efforts on the [[Loom]], he had a vision of Aelizabeth Bequin who told him to start taking care of her daughter, who lived in Queen Mab. {{Fn|2a}}
===Beta Bequin===
Once the Maze Undue was razed by Inquisitorial agents led by Inquisitor [[Gideon Ravenor]], Bequin was sold to the local Ecclesiarchy who intended to conduct experiments with her. Heretical memebers of the Ecclasiarchy, with the aid of elements of the [[Word Bearers]] Chaos Space Marines, seemingly succeded in using Bequin to speak [[Enuncia]] without her being harmed in any way. Thanks to the intervention of Inquisitor [[Gregor Eisenhorn]], she successfully fled before any further steps could be done through the project. She seemingly has was finally brought to the ability house of [[Alace Glaw]] where an [[Emperor's Children]] [[Chaos Space Marine]] named [[Teke]] "The Smiling One", wanted to travel straight use her to find an access to the [[City of Dust]] . This fabled city was in reality a twin of Queen Mab but set into another dimension and while in therea first attempt to open a stable passage through the [[Immaterium]] much like the Eldar [[Webway]]. {{Fn|2b}}{{Fn|2c}}{{Fn|2g}}{{Fn|2h}} After evading multiple foes, use Bequin was freed from [[Gideon Ravenor]]'s activity by [[EnunciaCherubael]] despite not knowing any while and agreed to work with him to hunt down the mysterious [[King in the material planeYellow]].{{Fn|3i2i}}
