Lord Captain Aspyce Chorda Arrives

Lord Captain Aspyce Chorda is a renowned Rogue Trader with a fearsome reputation and a penchant for relieving her boredom in unusual and brutal ways. When she finds herself conveniently involved in an Inquisitorial investigation, the Lord Captain will not pass up this opportunity to snuff out her ennui. Lord Captain Chorda's status as a Rogue Trader and her lineage that traces back to a noble Scintillan dynasty, afford her access to refinements mere commoners could only dream of. Yet even with all manner of dazzling entertainment at her disposal, Chorda has found herself…dreadfully bored. Cut off from her domain in the Koronus Expanse, she joins the Inquisition as a surefire measure to find some entertainment.

Her confidence and social skills make her a valuable companion when it comes to charming and convincing conversation partners, and her knowledge of Xenos lore, which some detractors might call heretical, also has its uses. In combat, she is a powerful Officer, boosting ally morale and making enemies cower before her. But she is also perfectly able to get more directly involved with both melee and ranged weapons, and even by dual-wielding them.
