The character of Eldrad Ulthran is lifted from Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000: he is renowned as the foremost psyker of the Eldar, Chief Farseer for Craftworld Ulthwé. He is awfully fond of engaging in overly elaborate plots to tweak the balance of fate, presumably to preserve the Eldar as a species. Also, he engages in only the highest forms of dickishness, as the accounts from one of his retinue warlocks attest. Possibly father to Taldeer and Macha- LCB is ambiguous, but current /tg/ canon acts on the assumption that he is.
He's dead now, supposedly, or maybe not. Nobody can ever tell with Eldrad, but in any case he vanished during the 13th Black Crusade. He left behind a bunch of active waystones, causing some Eldar to think that Eldrad is simply trapped in the Warp for the time being, doing something with Slaanesh, but the guy's a dick and it's hard to tell what, if anything, he's actually doing. His patron god is almost certainly Cegorach who was the biggest dick in the Eldar pantheon and one of the unholy...quadrinity...of dickishness and Just as planned. Nevermind GW is pretending this never happened. But he's definitely in league with Cegorach, as he's seen leading a troop of Harlequins against the Deathwatch in the new Death Masque game.
Some time ago, Abaddon led an assault on craftworld Ulthwé, to attack the Eldar Farseer Council there. After slowly slogging through the craftworld, all the while his Black Legion suffered massive casualties as the Eldar picked them off in hit and run attacks, Abaddon finally got to the council, but found Eldrad waiting for him. Eldrad quickly made a mockery of Abaddon's combat skill; dodging Abaddon's strikes with Drach'nyen and the Talon of Horus with ease. In just two strikes, Eldrad cleaved through Abaddon's terminator armor with virtually no effort and separated him from his arms. The Eldar then stuffed the remainder of the attack force into a dreadclaw with "Failbaddon the Armless' Failboat" and other demeaning terms and images painted all over it and launched it back into the Eye of Terror while laughing hysterically. And that is why Abaddon has no arms.
