Coven of Three[1]

The Coven of Three (known individually as T'yeng, T'yor, and T'yil) is a title given to a trio of Sorcerers of the Thousand Sons Cult of Scheming.[1] [1]

Nine centuries ago, these three Sorcerers completed the forbidden rites of Vordrek's Conjunction. During the ritual they sacrificed every last defender of Saint Bassolius' Shrine, binding their souls and minds to the warp. They were transformed into a gestalt psychic being three times stronger than their previous forms.[1]

Their unspoken communion allows them to whisper and scheme together even if they are light years apart. They never speak aloud, even to their servants, and instead implant suggestions and commands into the minds of those around them. Nor do they employ any means of written communication, thus ensuring their complex and cunning plans are impossible for their enemies to divine ahead of time by anything short of psychic probing. However those who try such endeavors normally end their days in raving insanity and freakish mutation.[1]

When implementing their schemes, they often divide up and spread confusion by claiming one another's names, or else switch their name of address constantly to keep their foes and friends alike guessing. At any time, one of these Sorcerers employs illusion, another telepathy, and the last divination. Yet while they share an incredible bond, even these three Sorcerers constantly plot against one another. Should one ever succeed in slaying the other two, he would gain the power of all three and become an Exalted Sorcerer in his own right. Such a victory is unlikely though as they all know every thought of the others.[1]
