Astrid Völundottir

Fifteen millennia at Leman Russ’s side have forged Astrid into the Imperium’s most lethal consort. She was the Emperor’s gift before the Great Crusade, bound to the Wolf King in fire and oath. Together they bled through the Heresy, held the line through the Long Watch, and now seed a fledgling Imperium among unfamiliar stars. Astrid tends the gene-vaults of the Hrafnkel, quickening new litters of Sky-Warriors from Russ’s own gene-seed. Her heart beats only for her Primarch; her knees bend for no other. Every victory is laid at his feet; every conquered world sings hymns to the Allfather in her wake. She is mother to legions, mate to a god, and the velvet voice that can still the Wolf’s roar.
