Yvraine

S-Shut up Guilliman! Me reviving you doesn't mean I l-like you or anything!

Yvraine, Herald of Ynnead, is a female Eldar who serves as the emissary for the newly awakened Eldar God Ynnead.

Early History

Yvraine was originally born on Craftworld Biel-Tan, which could explain where she got her fighting skills from. However her first path was the Path of the Dancer. At some point she found she had psychic ability and thus she took the Path of the Warlock. However she had a mercurial mood and developed a bloodlust that led her to follow the path of the Warrior among the Dire Avengers.

After awhile even this wasn't enough for her and she left Craftworld Biel-Tan as an Outcast and eventually became a famed Corsair leader. This continued for a time until a mutiny forced her, and those among her crew still loyal, to flee into the Webway. From here there was only one place to go; Commorragh. Here she made her way living and fighting in the slums before joining a Wych cult and then rising to Succubus.

Ynnead's Birth

Ynnead's rebirth came about during a major gladiator match in Commorragh. It was here that Yvraine (aided by the patronage of Lady Malys) was to face off against Lelith Hesperax herself. Even after several renowned matches (including unleashed cloned Tyranids made from genetic engineering combining Tyranids from Hive Fleet Kraken and Hive Fleet Leviathan and ten Space Marines in power armour and knives vs waves of Wyches until they died), this was considered the fight of the century/millenium. To raise the stakes, they would be fighting among Wyches, Tyranids and other captives or monsters in a massive free for all. It was such a momentous event that Vect himself had arrived to watch (from the comfort of his private portable pyramid/command base/mansion).

The fight between Yvraine and Lelith was breathtaking, even the Harlequins in the audience were stunned. It was clear though that Lelith was toying with Yvraine and was clearly the better fighter... until Yvraine managed to get a cut on Lelith's forearm. However, this was also a ruse that Lelith had allowed as part of her plan to draw out the fight and make it entertaining for her patron, Asdrubael Vect. But the punch to the stomach that Yvraine dealt Lelith was not part of the plan. She gave ground and, after getting in a vicious stomp on Yvraine, finally fulfilled her plan of leading Yvraine to the pile of corpses.

That's right, Yvraine's so tough she kept fighting, even though she'd been STABBED IN THE CHEST.

Forming the Ynnari

Yvraine fled Commorragh with her old Exarch, the Incubus warriors, the survivors of her crew and several members of her Wych Cult. They wandered the Webway for a time, fleeing the Haemonculi cults and Kabalies Vect had sent after them. They met up with a group of Harlequins, who led them through the Webway and kept them one step ahead of Vect's agents.

A Desperate Alliance

At this point the Ynnari joined together to enact another desperate plan: Eldrad had forseen that the Eldar's and the Imperium's fates were joined. For the Eldar to survive they would have to ally with the Imperium.

To facilitate this, they picked up the survivors from the fall of Cadia (minus Creed, who had already been taken either by Trazyn or Vulkan). Then, after a good word from Cawl, Celestine and Greyfax, they headed to Macragge. There, Yvraine and Cawl worked together to heal Roboute Guilliman of his poison and bring him back to life.

After promising an alliance, the Eldar and the forces of the Imperium parted ways, with Guilliman thanking Yvraine for helping him and Yvraine giving Guilliman a sincere caution and no stereotypical Eldar dickery (something a few shippers have seized on, though this would be more ironic than Taldeer and LIIVI, given that Yvraine is the herald of a god and Roboute is heavily implied to despise religion).
