Onskellis

Dark Eldar Portal

Onskellis is a Drukhari Archon.^[1]

History

He was among the Drukhari forces^[1] that invaded the Chinchare sub-sector, in the wake of the 13th Black Crusade. However the Imperium later launched the Dark Crusade's Kith Campaign, against the Xenos and Onskellis would become one of its priority targets.^[2] During the Campaign, he led raids against Imperial worlds and these attacks left no survivors. Pict footage taken from these raids have observed that the Archon preferred close combat and displayed heightened frenzy for periods of time. Onskellis was also seen riding a Daemonic entity, which was similar to the Daemons seen fighting beside the Thousand Sons Traitor Legion. The Imperium later came to believe its forces killed the Archon during one of the Campaign's battles, but this has not been confirmed.^[1]
