#redirect '''Duke Traevelliath Sliscus''' is a [[Dark Eldar]] [[Eldar Corsair|Corsair]], known as "The Serpent". Hungry for glory and excitement, he has no qualms about imperiling every ship in his fleet if it will mean he can destroy an enemy ship in style. Legend has it that the Duke , tired of the constant political grind of [[Commorragh]], decided to leave with a bang rather then a whimper and stole three [[Kabal]] flagships and fled the Dark Cities port.<sup>1</sup> An intense megalomaniac, Sliscus has been the commander of the [[Sky Serpents]] Corsairs for many thousands of years and is convinced that it is his right to rule the stars. Infamous across the Galaxy, Sliscus is famous for his unpredictable behavior. One moment he may be charming, the next utterly ruthless. Sliscus once famously agreed to parley with a human planetary [[Governor]] for clemency, only to have the entire [[Hive]] nobility butchered when a human envoy mispronounced his name.<sup>1</sup> Sliscus' actions have become increasingly bizarre over the years, he never wars the same clothes twice and each new outfit incorporates the remains of his latest foe. The duke dines on poisoned food to build up his immune system and enjoys carving epic poems into his captives. His personal battle standard are made up from the flayed skin of the [[Lord Admiral]] of [[Bakka]], the [[Segmentum Fortress]] of [[Segmentum Tempestus]]. As a result of these actions the Duke remains an extremely popular figure among Dark Eldar society and a champion to those in exile from Commorragh. The Duke's trio of stolen flagships has been joined by many more stolen warships, eager to join The Duke in more exploits.<sup>1</sup> ==Sources==*<sup>1</sup>: [[Codex: Dark Eldar (5th Edition)]] pg. 51{{DETroops5th}}[[Category:Characters (Dark Eldar)]][[Category:Eldar Corsairs]]
