Editing Rogue Trader - Passionate Intensity - Lord-Captain Myra Vasilyevitch

House Vasilyevitch. It is a name to conjure with in Imperial space; one which carries with it a reputation that any well-versed Sister Famulous will only recount with a shudder. Its origins are murky, its history longer than that of some Sectors and smirched with suspicion. It is hypothesised by enemies of the House that the dynasty has only retained its power through copious blackmail material and threats. Such people often stop spreading such lies eventually, of course, one way or another; and the House remained one of the most glorious and powerful in Imperial annals.

The Vasilyevitch bloodline stretches back for a thousand years. Some say they hold documentation which proves they were the original founding family of Malfi itself, and the planet takes after them in its clever and cunning aspect. For as long as there have been the Vasilyevitches, though, there have been the Coure van Daynes - a mercantile family just as inventive, just as cunning, and just as daring - but somehow without any of the apparent good luck. Nevertheless they are a resourceful bloodline, certain that Vasilyevitch have robbed them time and again of the opportunities they have strived so hard to create for themselves. Are they right? Who can say? Nevertheless their hatred runs deep indeed.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, one of the more formative experiences of Myra's life was when he ousted his elder sister Beatrix. It was said that she was just as clever, and just as conniving, as the then-young Myra; and long had she foreseen his movements against her. She had spent years building up twisting, distracting defences which thwarted his every move; rendering him ever more apoplectic with rage as his most devilish ploys came to naught. How he finally defeated her, Lord-Captain Vasilyevitch will never say; the record only shows that, after a whole week spent raging and plotting in his palace, there was one long dark night and then Beatrix disappeared, leaving Myra prideful and smiling once again. Whatever happened, it left him changed - no longer as able to stay mercurial in the face of insult, rather instead to crush it, utterly and mercilessly.
