Hello Everybody, The New Mandalord here.

Another Friday means another chapter.

This was another busy week for me, so I do apologize for the short chapter.

I do hope you enjoy, and reviews are always welcomed.

Ordo Xenos Subject Report: #56846890

Name: Jhi'Kaara

Alias: The Broken Mirror

Gender: Female

Date of Birth: Unknown.

Planet of Birth: Unknown. (Based off physical records we can speculate that she came from T'au.)

Regiment: Fourth T'au Enclave, "Osman's Heretics"

Rank: El – Second Commander, Pathfinder.

Current Whereabouts: Unknown.

There is very little intelligence on the alien known as Jhi'Kaara. On the little we do have, we can tell that if she were to be human she would have been in the Sisters of Battle.

Like most young Tau she completed her training and stepped into the Path of Fire her caste is well known for. While others were honored for their endurance, or agility, or precision with arms, hers was for her skill in reading the movement of her comrades and enemies: J'kaara, "the mirror". She was predicted to go down a path of leadership, and her pride was well earned.

As a newly formed sha'la, she participated in her first campaigns of war against the greenskin menace that harass Tau space. Even against mobs that could cripple Imperial planets, Jhi'Kaara and her Pathfinding team could lure the beasts into one trap after another, using Tau tactics of decimating them from a distance with a firepower the Orks could not hope to match, then falling back before the feral beasts could overrun the. From there she was elevated to the rank of UI – the veteran rank.

Then the Succession of Oba'rai, during the second sphere campaign. Oba'rai – whose records and previous name are lost to our archives – was an uncannily brutal planet, its arid plains no doubt reminding the aliens of their home world. The population fought fiercely against the xenos, but with only one regiment who had been promised the planet if they held it, it fell quite quickly. The Guardsmen made their last stand at Oba'rai's primary city, fortifying the walls and rallying a militia of thousands, but it was a lost cause. The Tau stealth teams infiltrated the bastion and destroyed their artillery precision, leaving the defenders helpless against their long-range missile and railguns. They raised the city without losing a single warrior. The Tau decided to spar no one, and sent in carnivore packs of their Kroot allies to finish off the population.

Jhi'Kaara, for one reason or another, decided to take her team inside. What happened to her was unknown, but what was known is that she received two things. The first was her scar, the other was her name: Jhi'Kaara, "the broken mirror".

After that the Ordo Xenos decided to keep track of her moments – when they could. She was reasonable for the assassination of the planetary governors of Minos, Cordoba, and Helios X, as well as the chaplains of the Celestial Dragoon, Hel Wolves, Adrian's Hammer, Grey Scythes, and Iron Blood Space Marine chapters, and because of her actions alone was the cause of the Arkhan Confederates on the Dolorosa Coil.

As of late, our intelligence reports say that she has reached the rank of EL, and are in complete control over the Pathfinder teams of the Fourth Enclave. Also, our reports say that she and Kain share the same bed. If this is true, Osman has committed more crime against the empire, and Jhi'Kaara should be taken in for experiments – if taken alive.

For the Emperor.

Author's Notes:

So I finally got Fire Caste, and it's pretty good so far. Not going to change my story for it.

For this chapter I thought of showing some of Kaara's past before she joined up with Kain. The fact she killed five, made-up, space marine chapters could tell you something.

Until next time.
