Ciaphas Minerva

Ciaphas Minerva is a soldier serving in the Army of the Divine Feminine, and formerly an member of the Wych Clan. During her life on Earth, she enjoyed the torture of the male gender for its existence, and continued to do so even after the Red Time was outlawed from Wych ritual.

Marriage and Domestic Life
During her time in the Wych Clan, Ciaphas enjoyed a healthy marriage with her wife Minerva and her two daughters.

When Red Time policies had ended, Ciaphas grew frustrated, and took out her anger on her bastard children's father; Kodan Carrow. This hatred would soon bubble in the form of vengeance.

Lords of Terror
A short while after the sexist policies of the Wych Clan ended, Ciaphas, along with one-third of the Clan, broke off to form the Lords of Terror, a group made to continue the Wych Clan's barbaric practice of genociding men.

Tempted by then-demon princess of lust, Slana, Ciaphas signed a contract to gain divine power in order to further her own agenda. With this power, she, and four other girls, became known as the Apocrypha.

The Apocrypha, however, were cut down by an increasingly fatigued Kodan Carrow. Ciaphas, in desperation, knew that she would die, and gave up the pursuit, seeing fit to die at Kodan's hands.

Before Kodan could reach her, she was approached by a priest named Arthur, who offered her sanctuary in the Church of St Saviel. She stayed there, awaiting the final confrontation. When Kodan arrived, she confessed apathy and stated she would allow Kodan to kill her, for doing so would relieve her of her burdens. He allowed her to live, if only to see her wallow in guilt, and promptly left.

Death and Sacrifice
Ciaphas made numerous attempts to kindle a friendship between she and Kodan, yet all attempts failed; however, her attitude for redemption would pay off.

The Hunters League's Iron Legion had entered Ferrus to punish Kodan for killing the Eagle of Iron. During the ensuing engagement, Kodan was held in a precarious position. The Steel Hawk drew her blade, and aimed at his chest. When she struck, however, it was not Kodan, she had killed Ciaphas.

A funeral Sabbath was held for Ciaphas at the Cathedral of Night.

Resurrection and Servitude to the Divine Feminine
During the Battle of New London between the Clans of Ferrus and the New Dynasty allying with the Demons of Hell, the Divine Feminine emerged from a tear in reality. Ciaphas was at her side, leading the army as her Goddess leaved the New Dynasty's flagship in pieces.

During the battle's aftermath, she made an apology to Kodan and spoke with her wife before dissipating, presumably to where the Divine Feminine resides.
