Lord-Phoenix
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Lord-Phoenix (Eldar: Tuisich-Novasmair), is a title of respect given to the dead ancestors and relatives who live on within the Infinity Circuits as well as the mortal eldar who have sacrificed themselves to awaken the Infinity Circuit.[1] The term is often used to refer to respected Wraith Constructs.[2]

Trivia
- The term appears nearly half a decade years before the popularisation of the Phoenix Lords in 2nd Edition[3], and may have inspired the later title. Alternatively, the popularity of the Phoenix Lords may have pushed Lord-Phoenix out of use to avoid confusion.
