Mother of Mothers, Genetrix

The Mother of Mothers, also known as Anathema, is the founder of the Imperium of Andarra and the protector of mankind. Her powers are unmatched by any psyker. After the Solar War, Anathema mysteriously vanished without a trace, leaving behind a message stating that Ciaphas's son, Yarrick Franz, rule as the next emperor of the Imperium.

Pre-Collapse
Not much is known about Anathema's past, other than the fact that she is older than any human alive. Her origins are rumoured to have hailed from the lush plains of Khazaria, but that is highly debatable.

She spent the majority of her life spectating humanity's progress. She was also known to have meditated in various locations, from Siberia to the Antarctic. As she saw humanity's progression into a spacefaring species, she developed a rigid moral code that she would later compile into the Laws of Making. She dabbled in a myriad of subjects, from biology to aether magic. However, for countless millennia, she simply observed humanity's rise to power, only intervening in the most dire of circumstances.

The discovery of the charon warp relay motivated Anathema to research deeper in the currents of the warp. During this period, she was rumoured to have been plagued with nightmares that saw glimpses of mankind slipping into an eternity of darkness and despair. Ultimately, her worst fears became a reality at the advent of the Great Collapse, when the warp relays mysteriously malfunctioned, rendering interstellar travel impossible.
