* AntiVillain: Natalie. She starts out with the simple motive of [[CrapsackWorld surviving as long as possible in the Warhammer 40k 'verse, and delaying her torture in the Warp by daemons upon death,]] but quickly becomes corrupted enough to casually resort to murder just to get out of awkward situations, and feel little about it afterwards.

* TrappedInVillainy: Natalie, at the very start. She presumes "Lexus"/Skeryn is a monster who'll kill her for putting a toe out of line, and well, she's basically right - Skeryn really is deliberately manipulating Natalie to emotionally bind her to following Skeryn, and while she eventually treats Natalie as somewhere between an amusement and an apprentice, her primary goal is to ready Natalie for participation in a large-scale ritual, and she's prepared to break her mind forcibly and directly mold her into the role if necessary.
