Death's Handmaiden

Crone Hellebron

The ancient Hag Queen of Har Ganeth, high priestess of Khaine who renews her youth in rivers of blood and hates Morathi above all.

Crone Hellebron is the Hag Queen of Har Ganeth and one of the most bloodthirsty champions of the druchii, a priestess of Khaine second in the cult only to Morathi — whom she loathes with an ancient and undying hatred. Hellebron is impossibly old, older than most kingdoms of men, but she does not show it: through the sacred rite of the Death Night she bathes in the blood of countless sacrifices and is restored to the beauty and vigour of youth. Yet the renewal never lasts, and as the years grind on she withers once more into a vengeful crone, driven by her decay into ever greater excesses of slaughter to buy back her stolen youth.

In battle Hellebron is a whirlwind of poisoned blades, faster and deadlier than warriors a fraction her age, working herself and her Witch Elves into a killing frenzy that few foes survive. She commands the cult-city of Har Ganeth and its dread Executioners, and she has led the druchii on countless campaigns of massacre in the name of the Lord of Murder. Her rivalry with Morathi has shaped the bloody politics of the Cult of Khaine for millennia, two immortal priestesses circling one another with knives, and only their shared devotion to slaughter has kept Naggaroth from tearing itself apart between them.
