Editing Prince Yriel

The swashbuckling, pirate prince of the stars, Prince Yriel is what you would get if you add Jack Sparrow to an Elf and then throw in a bucket load of cocksure arrogance and away you go. He is known as the greatest Eldar naval genius to have lived and this only makes his arrogance grow greater (and if other Eldar are calling you arrogant, then that has to mean something).
 
The prince was once the fleet master of the Eldar craftworld of Iyanden and was renowned for his tactical genius and daring leadership. He thrashed a Tyranid hivefleet and a Chaos Lord’s armada and his deeds made him well feared and respected. It was the chaos fleet that would be the turning point in Yriel’s career however. In his recklessness, he stripped Iyanden of all its starship defences and forced on defeating the enemy. A last torpedo fired from the chaos flagship burst through the fleet and made it through to strike the craftworld, inflicting huge damage and instantly killing many hundreds of thousands of Eldar.
 
It was of no surprise to anyone except Yriel that he was stripped of his rank for his foolishness on his return for so many avoidable deaths. Enraged he went into self-imposed exile and many of his men followed him, becoming within a few decades the most feared Eldar pirate band in the galaxy, the Eldritch Raiders.

For years then Yriel plied the stars, stealing from the rich, ignoring the poor, making raspberries at the Imperium who couldn’t catch him. They tried to turn him against other Eldar pirate bands but this backfired splendidly when he just absorbed them and made himself an even bigger menace.
 
When Hive Kraken arrived in the galaxy, one of its tentacles was heading directly towards Iyanden, which could not outrun the speed of the Tyrannic threat. When Yriel heard of the danger his craftworld was in he at first ignored it but in the end he could not truly abandon his people and he and his raiders struck like the spear of Khaine against the Tyranids, tipping the scales in the favour of the Eldar. To save his people Yriel took up the cursed spear of twilight, which would doom it’s wielder, and turned in against the bugs, slaying the hive tyrant that lead the beasts. Hailed as the saviour of the shattered craftworld, Yriel was reinstated as the admiral of the fleet.

Since then Yriel has fought many battles and feels his time is soon to be over. However a vision by a shadowseer of the harlequins has shown him he still has much to do and the end times may be upon the Eldar. With a renewed spirit, Yriel steps forth to kick demon ass once more in the name of Iyanden….
