A Dark Eldar Lord, also known as an Archon, stands at the pinnacle of the twisted society of Commorragh, the dark city of the Drukhari. These ruthless leaders have clawed their way to power through centuries of backstabbing, assassination, and unbridled cruelty. Wielding absolute authority over their kabals, the Dark Eldar Lords are masters of intrigue and terror, commanding legions of warriors, slaves, and horrific war machines to launch raids on the galaxy. Driven by their insatiable thirst for suffering and souls, they lead lightning-fast strikes against planets, capturing victims to be tortured and fed upon to sustain their immortality. Their prowess in battle is only matched by their cold, calculating minds, as they balance a precarious rule in a society where treachery is a way of life.
Clad in ornate, baroque armor, an Archon is a fearsome figure, often equipped with the deadliest alien technology and weapons from the vast web of dark science within Commorragh. They are tacticians of unmatched cunning, preferring to strike when their enemies are most vulnerable, using speed, surprise, and overwhelming cruelty to leave entire worlds shattered and helpless. A Dark Eldar Lord’s ambition is boundless, and even as they revel in their sadistic conquests, they are always wary of the next challenger within their ranks. Power is fleeting in the dark city, and only through constant vigilance, manipulation, and brutality can an Archon maintain their grip on supremacy. For the galaxy’s inhabitants, a raid led by a Dark Eldar Lord is not just a battle but a nightmare that will haunt the survivors for lifetimes.
