Bella's mother was a member of one of Nostramo's noble families, one of the earliest to ally itself to the Night Haunter. She was mostly raised by her mother's house as her father was often busy and he rarely acknowledged her presence. To many, she appeared a perfect lady, beautiful and demure. However she had inherited more of her father than anyone could have suspected. She began dabbling in the ways of silent assassination, the art of poison. Soon, this attracted the attention of her father, who endorsed her fascination and began to use her to help with his ruling.
Bella quickly grew into her father's favourite agent amongst the noble families, slipping liquid death into the cups of traitors and those few who supported the remaining criminal elements. Through constant exposure to her own poisons, she became immune to most. So much that she could hold a deadly poison in her mouth and let it dribble onto a targets skin as she kissed their hand, resulting in a painful death hours later.
After the coming of the Emperor and the creation of the Night Lords legion, she travelled and learned more about the art of death by poison. Some say she may have had a hand in the creation of the Venenum Temple of assassins. She re-joined her father during the latter part of the Great Crusade and assisted him in the reunification of mankind, and giving the enemies of the Night Lords something else to fear.
Bella abandoned the Night Lords and the Imperium just before the destruction of Nostramo and the Horus Heresy. No one knows what she did in this time but after the Heresy she returned, with many new poisons and chemicals, many warp-spawned or alien in origin. She began working as a freelance assassin, doing any job as long as it paid well, often in more exotic ingredients for her many potions.
Despite her lack of permanent allegiance, her services have been used by many, imperial governors, chaotic warlords, alien empires, rouge traders, even unscrupulous inquisitors. Most of her employers do not know her identity as the Night Haunter's daughter, which is just the way she likes it.
Looking on deviantArt, I came across some pictures of the Primarchs' daughters and some back stories behind them. Instantly falling in love I set out to write some backstories which the original artist hasn't written yet. I decided to start with the Night Haunter's daughter as that goes with one of the pictures, which you can find on vividwings on deviantArt
I don't own Warhammer or the original pictures and I'm not making a profit from this.
First time author, so be nice.
