Perturaya is the Primarch of the Iron Warriors, one of the original twenty Space Marine Legions. Weaned on war and intrigue in the strife-ridden courts of her homeworld of Olympia, Perturaya was a grim warrior and master of technological arcana who wielded logic and the mathematics of warfare as keenly as she did a blade and bolter. She, like her Iron Warriors, had a natural affinity towards technology and a cold logic, but lacked the strength of faith. The Lady of Iron was taciturn to the point of insult, preferring to harbour her thoughts against the threat of treachery, even amongst her kin. Few would call her friend, but none could fault her ability to wage a campaign and plot the most direct course to victory regardless of the cost and despite the strain put on him and her IVth Legion during the long years of the Great Crusade.
