Wracks


Wracks are what happens when you have a bundle of bodies stitched together like Frankenstein. They are Dark Eldar who decide to dedicate themselves to serving a Haemonculus as a servant. Reasons include wanting the protection of a Haemonculi Coven rather than a Kabal, trying something new or hiding after angering an Archon. The Haemonculus modifies their bodies into something that serves them better ("them" being the Haemonculus) then puts a metal faceplate on them as personal identity has no place in a Wrack's existence (supposedly; a Wrack in a novel named Xagor mentioned his brother and seemed to have a life outside the Coven). They act as assistants and bodyguards, Wracks and their masters often compete with the Tech Priests and their Servitors in a friendly game on whose personal lab assistants can survive the most abuse possible.
Wracks are equipped with a range of cruel weapons including razor-sharp blades, needles, poisons and even more exotic and disturbing weaponry. This list of weaponry includes but are not limited to, the feared Liquifier guns, Venom Blades, Flesh Gauntlets, Ossefactors and Mindphase Gauntlets. However the most squick-tastic of the Wracks is that most of them are voluntary, meaning that Wracks are the literal pinnacle of Dark Eldar BDSM. Usually this is because the DE is bored with his life and want something to be 'spiced up'. Wracks are modified by all kind of steroids and drugs, cut up into pieces and re-assembled. Their arms usually get replaced by wicked blades, metal claws or other weapons or tools. Amongst the wracks there is a position known as Acothyst. This seems to be a position of authority amongst the wracks, perhaps equivalent to a captain or commander. These Acothysts are sometimes rewarded with unique Haemonculi weapons such as the Hexrifle which is a gun that fires the 'Glass Plague' which somehow turns the victims into a glass statue...GeeDubs failing in their biology again.
