= Notable Members = ==== Ku'Motsk, the Void King ==== {{Main|Ku'Motsk, the Void King}} The magnanimous sovereign of the Harakien Eldar Empire, Ku'Motsk holds absolute power within his realm due to the fierce loyalty of his skilled warriors, as well as the skill he demonstrates both on and off the battlefield. He is called Ifeth'yan, a term which translates to "Void King" or "King of Space" but can also mean "Empty King" or "Pretender", originally due to his status as a lowborn monarch who plundered in space. When the empire was officially formed, the sovereign and his followers took up the moniker with pride. He has proved more than worthy of the title, keeping his realm secure for millennia and holding an unimpeachable position of status in the webway. ==== Captains of the Fleet ==== ===== 1st Captain Kieres, the Heartless ===== {{Main|Kieries, the Heartless}} ===== 2nd Captain Silys Vath, the First-born ===== {{Main|Silys Vath}} ===== 3rd Captain Ralis Sinderion, the Hidden-handed ===== {{Main|Ralis Sinderion}} ===== 4th Captain Sisyk Alovar, the Vulture ===== {{Main|Sisyk Alovar}} ===== Knight Commander Daerfin of Vrkova ===== The first Harakien Dragon Knight, and the commander of their division, Daerfin of Vrkova is a quiet warrior known for letting his actions speak for him. The narrow-eyed, thin-lipped Eldar gives a strong impression of utter joylessness, and his unkempt hair and simple clothing is telling of his harsh Exodite origin. He is never without his mount, the large and powerful cold one he calls Aka'Ris. Though he prefers the company of his own kin, Daerfin is a favored hunting partner of the Void King. Ku'Motsk frequently calls on the commander for his unique perspective, often breaking his hours-long meditation, much to the Vrkovan's chagrin. Following Ku'Motsk's ascension to sovereign with the first Harai Kenn, and the re-branding of Waken into Ku Harai, the fleet moved toward Vrkova. The Void King met with the priest-king, Wyndir, and they discussed the integration of Vrkova into the new empire. The debate lasted several hours, with the Exodite leader adamant on the condition that Vrkova be granted a certain degree of self-determination and its citizens never eligible for conscription. Ku'Motsk offered his old friend more than limited self-governance, they would administer themselves completely. All in exchange for annual payment in the form of a squadron of elite Dragon Knights, and of course permitting trade with the empire and the occasional diplomatic visit. These knights, he knew, were sacred warriors among the Exodites and Wyndir would not give them lightly, but their power was astounding to behold. After some consideration, Wyndir accepted. Daerfin and his men were the first to join the harakiens. In the time since his absorption into the harakien fleet, Daerfin has proven himself a skilled warrior and commander. He allows the harakien knights to make the best use of their unique skill sets through his experience in warfare, keeping his men at a level of usefulness as cavalry comparable to Vath's Sky-Reapers. If not for their extremely limited numbers, the Dragon Knights would have spread throughout the fleet quickly. He leads his force at the head, charging forward atop Aka'Ris and launching blasts of darklight from his lance at the opponent. ==== Kaelon Asmodae, Ur-Hierach of the Khainite Priesthood ==== {{Main|Kaelon Asmodae}} The spiritual head of the Harakien Empire, Kaelon Asmodae is a powerful warrior priest who has served the Void King faithfully for millennia. He oversees the great monastery world Khainash and all priests of Khaine, or Incubi, are at his command. He is among Ku'Motsk's strongest political allies, as the Ur-Hierach firmly believes that the Void King is the leader chosen by his god to deliver his people to greatness. His skill as a swordsman is legendary, capable cleaving scores of men in twain without being struck in return. His abilities have only grown over his many years, and his control over the mystic arts of battle employed by his priesthood is without peer. ==== Denari Kouorern, Chief Executive of the Mercantile Associarion ==== Denari Kourern is the most powerful woman in the harakien empire, every exchange of goods is subject her scrutiny. Her clout surpasses that of even the Duchess Nakhar, though Ae'Rhinia would be loathe to admit it. She is also much younger than the other major players within the harakien empire and, unlike many of its leaders, was born within its borders. She is highly ambitious, having gained her power through careful politicking and negotiations before even reaching a century in age. She is a frequent visitor to the court of the Void King, their discussions are held under tight security. These intimate visits are closed to all but the chief executive and the sovereign, but their many loud hours together produce far-flung results. Kouorern believes that the empire represents true freedom for its people and administers the association with that in mind, frequently coming into conflict with the military on matters of trade freedom. The administration's main goal under her has been to expand trade into unknown regions, her fleets work with civilizations beyond the eye of the empire and often make contact many years before the military. The association's charter gives them free reign on these matters and there have been many times the imperial fleet has discovered a seemingly new planet, only to find that Kouorern's hands have already reached it. In matters of military, it is the executive who acts as the greatest barrier to conquest, seeing indigenous peoples as a resource with more inherent value than their use as slave labor.
