Cynthy was the "pet" of Clan Jade Falcon Khan Malvina Hazen.

History[edit]

Orphan[edit]

Cynthy was found in the ruins of a house in the city of Portmeirion, Skye, which was destroyed during a reprisal strike.[3] Cynthy was going to be taken to be indoctrinated into the Clan way of life, but Malvina took pity on her because Malvina believed her to be brave in the face of fear; instead of being taken by the solahma infantry, Cynthy was taken away by Malvina.[2]

Raised by Malvina[edit]

Since being picked up by the Falcons, Cynthy had been kept around Malvina like a pet, being treated more like an experiment rather than a human being. Video footage of Cynthy showed a teenage girl who acted and physically displayed the characteristics of someone who dealt with abuse and acute post-traumatic stress.[1]

The consequences of her abuses became evident on 17 November 3139, onboard the DropShip Bec de Corbin. She opened a shipwide broadcast, deliberately airing a personal discussion between Malvina and Beckett Malthus, resulting in her mother beheading an unfortunate tech. Malvina knew it but covered Cynthy's tracks and didn't punish her.[4]

Deposing the Chinggis Khan[edit]

After Alaric left Malvina's apartment, Hazen began another rage-filled attack, either due to her getting Alaric's attention or to vent her frustrations. Something in Cynthy finally snapped after the years of abuse. As a result she stabbed the Khan with a knife as she bled on the floor. The fear-riddled Cynthy held a blaster to the mad Khan as Stephanie Chistu walked into her apartment to discover the carnage. Chistu used this time to diffuse the situation by assuring Cynthy she would never be harmed again. Both refused to help Malvina Hazen, instead opting to watch her bleed out. After the conflict, Cynthy ran out of the room in fear of what had happened. Alaric questioned Stephanie about what transpired and both agreed that Malvina was beyond help and that they would cover up her death. He later instructed Spurlock and his Watch agents to find Cynthy and bring her to him unharmed. Although Cynthy's whereabouts remain unknown, her actions ended Malvina's brutal rule and (unknowingly) saved the Jade Falcons.[5]

Notes[edit]

Cynthy is believed to be Cynthia Meijer, the daughter of Francis and Gemma Meijer who were both members of the Skye Standing Guard and were killed when the Jade Falcons conquered the planet.[1]
