When the Ecclesiarchy sought to elect a new Abbess Sanctorum to lead the Adepta Sororitas, they chose Morvenn Vahl. Believing the young Celestian Superior to be easily manipulated in the political arena, they instead found a forthright and iron-willed warrior who wore her full battle plate to meetings of the Holy Synod and intimidated many who sought to influence her. Dissatisfied with exercising her command from the safety of Holy Terra, Vahl departed almost as soon as she arrived and has been at the forefront of many crusades since.
