Eldar Portal

This article includes as a source one the three Black Library novels reissued under the now-defunct Heretic Tomes banner (Farseer, Pawns of Chaos, Space Marine) which, per the Publication Disclaimer, contained material considered outdated or inconsistent with established background lore. The banner has not appeared since 2016, leaving the status of these works uncertain – except for Space Marine whose description now labels it a “curiosity.”

Athenys is an Eldar Exarch^[1a] of the Line of Manan from Craftworld Ulthwé.^[1b] She acted as the bodyguard of Farseer Auric Stormcloud.^[1a]

Overview

Athenys

Athenys spent a long time walking the Warrior Path.^[1a]

She travelled with Farseer Auric Stormcloud to Medusa to find Rogue Trader Janus Darke to get him to take them to Crone World Belial IV.^[1a]

Athenys was shorter than Auric Stormcloud. She had a narrow face with a narrow and sharp chin, wide full lips, and small sharp extremely white teeth. While on Medusa she wore a massive bulky black cloak trimmed with white fur, to try to blend in.^[1a]

Notes

• As an Eldar who is frozen on the Path of the Warrior, Athenys is Exarch, though it is not clear which Warrior Aspect she follows.^[1a]
• The name Athenys may have been taken from the Farseer Athenys of Ulthwé, a character in the novel Chaos Child.^[2]
