Forlorn Hopes and Immortal Evils Lords
Dru'keth
Lord of the Torture-class cruiser Bloody-handed Prince, Dur'keth is a powerful Dracon of the Splintered Bone, of the spaceborn raiders she is the greatest. Her skill at void combat is uncanny, her captaincy greater than any other Lord of the Kabal. When Archon Kah Berahk takes to the void for a raid it is Dru'keth who holds the vanguard. She operates throughout the Koronus Expanse, Scraming Vortex and even the Calaxis Sector using a tightly held set of webway paths.
Blood Shadow Succubi
Like all Cults the Blood Shadows have a council of three Succubi. And like most Cults two of those graceful, elegant killers are merely glorified Syrens, too powerful to remain Bloodbrides, but no match for the true Queen of the Arena who leads them.
Hazarath: The Queen of the Blood Shadows, called Khaladhkar, the Dragon of Despair.
Leiura: Kythonagh, the Pale Serpent. She wields a pair of pure white Electrocorrosive Whips. She ends most battles without a drop of blood on either. Leiura is a master dissembler who compensates for somewhat reduced physical prowess with manipulation, deception and treachery. It is said that quite a few of the Syrens could defeat her in a straight fight, but the challenge would be actually getting to that fight in the first place. It is not uncommon for her opponents to reach the battlefield exhausted, wounded, poisoned, crippled or not at all; it is an open secret that she has more tentacles than most Tyranids and many of the Dark-kin are in turns fascinated and disturbed by this. She has seen Bella's fumblings along her path and it amuses her; at least, until Bella proves herself a threat...
Thalurath: Harathelth, the Jealous Doom. She uses many weapons but for her most spectacular battles she wields a pair of elegantly wicked Hydra Gauntlets, each the prison of a potent daemonic slave of She-Who-Thirsts. Those closest to the floor can see the faces of the trapped daemons howling in agony as the cunningly wrought grooves of the blades deny them a full tast of the agony they deliver.
Kah Berahk Halfborn
As Archon of the Splintered Bone Kabal he is much like any other Archon: powerful, vicious, cunning, eccentric and deadly. Unlike most though he is a Halfborn. Born in the pits of the Haemonculi and destined for ignominy as a foot solder in a Kabal he carried a burning hatred for his betters and unlike other Halfborn he had skill to stoke that ambition.
He rose slowly and steadily within the Kabal, demonstrating his lethal gifts against the Kabal's rivals within the Dark City and then winning the privelege of going on realspace raids. There he further accrued power and spoils to become a Sybarite, the highest position most Halfborns ever attain. But that was not enough for the young warrior's desire and he began to amass greater and greater power, becoming a cult of personality within the Kabal until he was as powerful as any Dracon, yet without the prestige, fear or respect that the Trueborn lieutenants are freely given.
More than anything he desired that status so he worked long years toward that goal until he was the greatest of the Archon's lieutenants but still called Sybarite and scorned as a Halfborn. Like a human heretic he raged as if his faceless birth in the Coven's dungeons, purpose built by a master of Fleshcraft was somehow less worthy than the Trueborn who spawn like the Mon'keigh and enter the world helpless and weak. It was obvious to any who knew him that Kah Berahk was jealous, but he was a Halfborn and their talents are notoriously beneath the skills of the Trueborn...
Except his weren't.
