Knight Centura

A Knight Centura, also called an Oblivion Knight-Centura, is a senior Oblivion Knight of the Sisters of Silence drawn from the elite ranks of the Chamber of Oblivion who acts as the primary battlefield commander for the other sisters of the order.

Knights Centura are chosen from the ranks of the Oblivion Knights for their seniority, martial skill, and sheer power as psychic Nulls. They are afforded use of the rarest weaponry the Sisters of Silence can bring to bear and charged with the inviolate duty of commanding both tactical operations of the Great Tithe and the sworn duty of destroying Rogue Psykers deemed too dangerous to live.

Each Knight Centura is the unquestioned mistress of her own mission force through not only the strict customs of the order but the trust placed in her abilities by those under her command, a respect earned over perhaps solar decades of active service, their mortal lifespans extended by the same alchemical rejuvenat treatments by which the nobility of Terra sees out standard centuries of life despite their mortal births. While never a codified sanction, Sisters of Silence showing marks of age and long service, either physiologically or woven in with the subtle marks of their panopoly, are often informally revered by their peers for their ability to survive and their knowledge even if both were formally at the same rank within the Sisterhood's command structure.
