Cassandra
If this had been a just world then the third Sister, Sister Cassandra, would have been in charge of the whole thing.
As one of the first and brightest Daughters She is trained in infiltration and the ways of the Imperium by Kimery herself. She has learned the Word at feet of Castor and knows the Book as well as all Word Bearers. Tactics and strategy lessons come from Fragmin (and she has learned her lessons well). As one of the first and most fanatical Daughters she has learned combat from Castors bodyguard and they do know their warcraft.
So in short it should have been her, she is smarter and more skilled; but she is not a WB (when the Deacons and Kimery made the infiltrator groups for Castor the plan was for the Daughters to lead them). But when the Apostle took to the idea and even blessed it with some of his WB to lead it, there was much rejoicing and psalms sung to his and the gods' undying glory. And as any good Daughter she will submit to the champion of the Apostle.
But Cassandra still has hope, she knows how good she is and she knows that the gods (and the Apostle and Kimery) test you constantly. She can still try to influence Alfonzo (manipulate is a bad, and heretical word, so we won't use that), use all her skill and charm to make sure that the infiltration group succeeds so that she can be rewarded with a coven of her own, ships and a proper command for that fate is written in the stars.
