#hi my wife is here to conquer your planet and steal your resources

Alright, I think Ana and Heinrix end up developing a relationship that’s certainly healthy by 40K standards but still a bit codependent.

Ana grew up on a planet where mutants were generally viewed a bit more forgivingly than in other parts of the Imperium (though not by much they’re still treated as second class citizens at best. This cultural post will come eventually and soon I promise) so she doesn’t have quite the same level of Catholic angst about being a psyker as Heinrix does, that being said it has certainly left its mark (thinks a lot about the in game Inscribed Soul ability and about how you literally have to take damage to use it).

Heinrix by contrast, grew up on the sort of planet where mutants were undoubtedly as discriminated against as in any other part of the Imperium if not worse thanks to events in the distant past at the end of the Dark Age of Technology and Old Night. He would have had the notion practically beaten into his head that psykers were fundamentally inferior, dangerous and evil and once he developed psychic abilities himself he became that in his mind. Combine that with the Imperium’s general attitude towards psykers, being in the Inquisition and so on and it’s no wonder he sort of attaches himself emotionally to the first pretty woman (or handsome guy if you use mods) in power who shows positive attention.

Neither of them have had a long term relationship before, they both have awful views about human supremacy by virtue of their respective Imperial upbringings, and they’re both war criminals but by the God-Emperor they’re going to try and make it work.
