Editing Tarasha Euten (section)

==Horus Heresy==

When Guilliman retreated to Macragge in the aftermath of the [[Battle of Calth]] and began laying the foundations of [[Imperium Secundus|his "Imperium 2.0" backup plan]], he often turned to Tarasha for advice. Though she was now elderly, she had lost none of her fiery, boisterous spirit, and continued to speak to the Primarch as if he were the same child she'd raised to manhood. She still referred to him as "boy", a form of address unthinkable to anyone else in the galaxy, while Guilliman called her "mam" and treated her with great respect and affection, frequently confiding in her about his doubts and fears. In turn, Tarasha was one of the few who could accept and verbalize that Guilliman was not infallible, and sought to remind him of that fact. She was also not above sassing him, as proven when he spent a night getting drunk with his Space Wolves watch pack and she told him off for it the following morning.

Her finest moment, however, came when Konrad Curze invaded the Fortress of Hera. After wreaking havoc and (apparently) assassinating Guilliman and [[Lion El'Jonson]], Curze made his way to Tarasha's quarters, killing her personal aide and demolishing the Space Wolves when they tried to intervene before threatening Tarasha herself. Notably, Curze actually seemed kind of jealous of her relationship with Guilliman, which leads one to wonder how well Space Marine Batman Who Laughs might have done if he'd had a mother of his own (or, you know, any positive influence in his childhood). Despite her sheer terror at being confronted by the Night Haunter himself, Tarasha steeled herself and told him to fuck off, which cements her as one of the bravest people in all of 40K. She was saved at the last moment by [[Vulkan]], freshly resurrected after having burned up in Macragge's atmosphere and out for Konrad's blood. Later on, Tarasha was present when it was revealed that Guilliman and the Lion had survived Curze's attack thanks to the Pharos, which had sensed Barabas Dantioch and Alexis Polux's desperation to save the loyal Primarchs and allowed them to pull the two through to Sotha. When Guilliman learned that Curze had attacked Tarasha, he immediately stepped back through the portal without even noticing, [[Dawww|because he was that worried about his mom]].
