Editing Lotara Sarrin (section)

== History ==
[[File:Preheresy-world-eaters.jpg|thumb|Don't let her size fool you: Lotara Sarrin was badass enough to earn the respect of [[Angron|these two]] [[Khârn|swell guys]]! While also gaining [[Wat|way darker hair and skin]].]]
The commanding officer of the World Eaters flagship ''Conqueror'' since she was 30, Lotara was one of the youngest shipmasters in the Imperium. Despite her regular human status Lotara had a degree of respect within the World Eaters, having earned their bloody hand honor emblem and being on somewhat amicable terms with Angron himself. After Lotara complained about having remembrancers aboard her ship, [[Mod|Angron immediately had them expelled]]. During the Horus Heresy, Lotara stayed committed to Angron and commanded the ''Conqueror'' during the Shadow Crusade.

During said Shadow Crusade, Lotara balanced her own lust for void-murder and giving Angron lip for wanting to fight [[Lorgar|his whiny brother]]. She was, in fact, known as the only person in the entire Imperium who ''could'' give Angron lip and not piss him off. One of the most notable recurring instances of this had to do with the fact that Angron hated being addressed as "Lord". As a Primarch, being given exalted titles essentially just went with the territory, but Angron was a special case. He despised aristocrats of all sorts due to what the ruling class of Nuceria had done to him and his fellow gladiators, and he never considered himself to be anything more than a pit fighter even after taking command of his Legion. For most people, addressing Angron as "Lord" was a great way to have your head backhanded off your shoulders. Lotara called him "Lord" all the time (though mostly when not in his immediate vicinity, such as over a vox channel). Not only did Angron never do anything about it other than mutter for her not to call him that, but he seemingly found it to be a bit cute. To him, it was sort of like being around a barking puppy; you might not particularly want the silly little thing making noise, but you'd never actually do anything about it. Another iconic instance occurred during the battle of Armatura when, with the safety of several hundred thousand kilometers of distance between herself and the murder machine, she gave him the verbal sneer of the millennium:

:'''Angron:''' ''"How's my ship doing?"''
:'''Lotara:''' ''"You mean'' my ''ship. And we're doing just fine."''

During the same battle, the [[Ultramarines|Smurfs]] made a boarding attempt on the ''Conqueror'' and that's when Lotara realized the World Eaters supposed to deal with them had gone to join the fun on the planet below. Her reaction?
:Step 1: wake up all remaining Dreadnoughts on board, then join them in going to town on blue power-armored ass with her naval armsmen.
:Step 2: Shoot the captain of the defenders when he came back smack between his helmet's eyeplates with her laspistol. Then chew him out twice as hard because not only did he dare desert his post, on top of that he dared return fire at a superior officer reprimanding him.
It is rather telling said Astartes captain agreed to be confined to his quarters for a while rather than keep up being on the receiving end of the temper of this mere mortal woman. 

Around this time, Lotara also noticed that Angron was deteriorating mentally and physically. After some investigation and pointed questions with the local [[Adeptus Mechanicus|cog boys]] on her ship, she learned the Nails were killing Angron. How she remained calm and didn't shoot them in the face like she did to the captain of the boarding specialist Astartes squads, is <s>still unknown</s> because they were faced with a duty they simply could not perform. Which is ''very'' different from <u>wilfully deserting your post</u>: in any other military Delvarus would have been in for at the very best a court-martial and demotion, if not much worse! (Then again, she did force the AdMech to focus on repairing the [[Titan (Warhammer 40,000)|Ember Wolves Titan Legion]] division, so she still had quite a pickle with them.)

After Nuceria, the subsequent loss of her card playing companion [[Dreadnought#Contemptor Pattern|Lhorke]] and Angron's ascension into [[Daemon Prince|daemonhood]], [[Not As Planned|shit began to go fuckways]] because [[Chaos]]. Dropping out of the [[Warp]] due to human error left the ''Conqueror'' mostly isolated. The [[Word Bearers]] either did not notice or simply did not care about the World Eaters' flagship dropping out of transit, and even some World Eaters vessels didn't bother to drop from transit with them. From this point on, Lotara steered the World Eaters fleet (or what remained of it) from planet to planet to satiate [[RIP AND TEAR|the Legion's need for murder]] and replenish supplies.

On their way to the [[Siege of Terra|party of the century]], Lotara began to feel like the [[Machine Spirit|ship was trying to kill them]]. The usual [[Khorne]] fuckery ensued: Blood from the showers and taps, lice leeching blood from people's scalps, constant infighting, murderous rampaging World Eaters, and of course the thing Angron had become turning half the ship into a [[RIP AND TEAR|fleshy, bloody mess]]. Captain Sarrin did the unthinkable and plotted a mutiny/abandonment-of-ship with a few sane World Eaters. But at the very last moment, when the insubordinate crew fled and that swell guy Kharn confronted one of his own, it was revealed that Lotara wasn't going anywhere and she proceeded to gun down the fleeing vessels while speaking one line: [[Awesome|''"No one runs from the ''Conqueror''."'']]

That said, Lotara's loyalty could only be pushed that far: when Angron finally went completely batshit insane after being refused the honour of leading the attack on Terra by [[Horus]] and started rampaging through the ship, she pretty much conned Khârn into making a deal with [[Night Lords|Gendor Skraivok]] to have Angron locked up in the maze [[Perturabo|Perty]] built to contain [[Vulkan]] until it was go time.

For some time Lotara's final fate after the Siege was unknown, but fanon came to hold that she became part of the ''Conqueror'' like some Titan pilots fuse with their God-Machines, or perhaps that she ascended to daemonhood and effectively became the ship's new machine spirit.

This was confirmed in ''Echoes of Eternity'', where her physical body has been merged with the ship's command throne and become some of form of cannibalistic vampire thing, while an echo of her spirit is hanging around the bridge in misery.

Recently, it was confirmed Lotara is still kicking to this fucking day. She is now known as ''The Mistress'' and continues to command the ''Conqueror''. Kossolax the Foresworn attempted to get Lotara to fall in line. If not for Angron himself manifesting on the ''Conqueror'', it is highly likely the [[Awesome|Motherfucker was going to get fucking glassed.]] Once Angron returned to the ''Conqueror'' and began to reunite the World Eaters, Lotara once again pledged ''her'' ship to the service of the Daemon Prince. She still keeps to her duties and to this day she is still known and respected (if not outright fucking feared), by the World Eaters and their servants.
