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 wears 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>
Sliscus was famously the only adversary to outwit [[Lukas (Space Wolf)|Lukas the Trickster]], a [[Space Wolf]] [[Blood Claw]] famous for his cunning. During an abortive attempt to cripple Sliscus's flagship, the Dark Eldar cut out one of Lukas's [[Secondary Heart|hearts]] as a souvenir and set Lukas adrift in space. Thanks to his [[Space Marine]] physiology, Lukas survived, and was even able to laugh about the encounter<sup>2</sup>.
