Srinika Ridhi
Srinika Ridhi was a Knight-Centura of the Sister of Silence's Clouded Leopard Cadre, during the Horus Heresy and took part in the Siege of Terra.[1d]
History
She was among the Imperials who made it into the Inner Palace's doors, before they were sealed near the end of the invasion. Sometime later, the Primarch Vulkan ordered the Chosen of Malcador Khalid Hassan to take the captured Long Companions to prison cells[1a] and Ridhi was among[1d] the escort detail that aided Hassan in doing so. By then, though, the Warp had begun to infuse Terra and this allowed Warmaster Horus' forces to infiltrate past the Inner Palace's defenses. As the escort detail was then traveling down the Palace's Blaxis Interlink, an overwhelming number of Traitors suddenly appeared and began swarming the Imperials within it. In the slaughter that followed, the Long Companions escaped[1b] and Hassan and the quickly dwindling escort detail was forced to do the same. The Chosen's group then began to search for a safe area to regroup and eventually found it within the Tower of Hegemon, which was now being used by the War Court. However the escort detail had been nearly all killed by then, as beside Hassan[1c] only Ridhi, her fellow Sister of Silence Aphone Ire and the Custodian Ios Raja[1d] still lived.[1c] Their respite was short, though, as news reached Hassan that Vulkan had ordered that the prisoner Basilio Fo be located. Fo was genius who had been charged with building a weapon to kill the Warmaster and the Chosen took the mission to find him. A small number of Imperials would go to aid and protect Hassan, which included Ridhi, Ire and Raja, who had all immediately volunteered to do so.[1d]
