It's this level of fan engagement as well as breakneck pace that's allowed the Kabal to swell to the size it currently is, only rivaled in terms of military might by that of [[Kabal of the Black Heart\| Vect's ample group of homeys]].

The Kabal of the Flayed Skull is one of the younger, but by far fastest growing [[Dark Eldar]] [[Kabal]]s in the city of [[Comorragh]], born from a nutjob death racer who brought his level of speed and violence addiction from mere hobby to business opportunity. And since it's inception, business has been very good.

They all have a tendency to coat their faces in their own blood, in streaks like their logo, or in intricate runes. Apparently they do this to say that it's the only blood that they will spill during their raids. They also take the time to ensure that their flaying skills are up to snuff, as the Flayed Skull didn't take the name without reason, they are ''very'' good at it, using the [[Grimdark|flayed skin of their foes as trophies, craft-decorations, and clothing, with the very richest of the Kabal able to afford master crafted face skin coats that still moan with agony when the owner moves around.]] Those who can't afford that kind of cartoonishly evil craftsmanship stick to more basic creations like loincloths or cloaks, and frequently affix their armor with spikes, chains, and barbed hooks to look even more edgy than they already do. It would be unwise to look at them as mere maniacs indulging in edgy nonsense however, as a whole Kabal fell victim to their brutal predation, and a gallery in the Poisoned Crown holds their still screaming faces to this very day.

The Flayed Skull as a military entity favor Aerial superiority above all else, preferring to attack from the skies if at all possible for the entirety of their realspace raids; coating a planet's atmosphere in [[Razorwing Jetfighter| Razorwings]] and [[Voidraven Bomber| Voidravens]] in lightning fast interwoven strikes on key targets and harrowing gang-ups on any resistance. It is supplemented by bringing about as many [[Scourge]]s as Vraesque can summon, leading to less of a raid and more like a planetwide cloud of hornets descending on some poor sucker, hoping to sting it to death through sheer numbers and speed. The Kabal rarely, if ever, fights on the ground, to the point that they've actually taken whole worlds without ever needing footsloggers at all. The rare souls that do end up having to hoof it fight at breakneck speed in order to facilitate getting back into their vehicles, and only ever do so in order to break up aerial defenses on the ground, or to actually flay the skulls of their opponents, a signature move of their Archon made into a terrifying practice of their warriors.

	'''Vraesque Malidrach''' didn't start life as [[Kabalite Trueborn\|some high-born spoiled murderbrat]]. He was once ''Vraesque the Reaver'', a gladiator in the arena of Khad Metrul, where he made his name surviving the Bitterspire's death-races over a hundred times, and became so well known for his vicious and furious competitive nature that he managed to get a fan club together, and the riches and fame he'd gained from surviving such violent competitions were enough to buy his freedom, which he immediately used to go about getting his fan club together to go bully or steal enough followers into going from "Hyper-fanatical Death-NASCAR fan community" to "Fully fledged Kabal", and the rest they say, is history. And like everything they do, history is happening fast.		'''Vraesque Malidrach''' didn't start life as [[Kabalite Trueborn\|some high-born spoiled murderbrat]].

	The Flayed Skull has grown exponentially thanks to Vraesque's addiction for going fast and raiding as hard and brutally as Drukhari-ly possible appealing greatly to Commoragh's citizenry, especially those lucky few gladiators that manage to fight their way out of the arenas in death races or those who manage to afford [[Voidraven Bomber\|some form]] of [[Razorwing Jetfighter\|attack craft]], since that means they can join one of the fastest and most furious group of pilots ever to blight Commoragh's skies with one of it's quickest thinking Archons, who has ensured that unlike many other Archons, his skills have never dulled with time, nor has he seen reason to ever stop raiding personally. It's this level of fan engagement as well as breakneck pace that's allowed the Kabal to swell to the size it currently is, only rivaled in terms of military might by that of [[Kabal of the Black Heart\| Vect's ample group of homeys]].

	The Kabal gathers at one of the most jagged points in the city; ''The Poisoned Crown'', which is a maddening tower of pipes and caves only reachable by flight; its moorings are overloaded with every kind of Dark Eldar flyer you could imagine, and several thousand more hide within.
