They actually are this hot in the series, but most people are too busy screaming in pain to comment on it.

The Harlequins are the Eldar followers of Cegorach, the Laughing God. They are the performers and entertainers of the Eldar, the self-appointed protectors of the Eldar's pre-fall history, which they perform in elaborate plays. They are also some of the most dangerous shock-troopers among the Eldar, taking the concept of "break a leg" as far as you would expect in Warhammer 40,000. As part of their role as self-appointed keepers of history, they also guard the Black Library from those who would gain entry, allowing only those who have conquered the Chaos within them to enter. They owe no allegiance to any Craftworld or Dark Eldar Kabal, but rather recruit members from both factions, and will fight in the armies on both sides. Their only loyalty is to Cegorach, whom they believe has charged them with the "Great Work" of reunifying the Craftworld Eldar, Dark Eldar, and Exodite Eldar into a single race to fight off Slaanesh. Despite this, they are allowed free passage through the Craftworlds and Commorragh, because the Craftworld Eldar respect the Harlequins for preserving their history, and through Commorragh because the Dark Eldar are too afraid to try and stop them.
