'''Arhra''', '''Father of the Scorpions''', was the original [[Phoenix Lord]] of the [[Striking Scorpions]].{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|7}} Though the souls of all Aeldari burn like great flames in the [[Warp]], Arhra's is said to have burned with the dark light of [[Chaos]], and he possessed a murderous nature.{{Fn|8}}
Known as the most sinister of the Phoenix Lords, following the [[Fall of the Eldar]] Arhra betrayed his fellow Phoenix Lords. He was last seen on the lost [[Craftworld]] of [[Zandros]] in 928.M41, where he dueled for seventeen days with his successor, [[Karandras]]. Outnumbered and unable to defeat his former master in combat, Karandras skilfully goaded Arhra into a killing frenzy. At the critical moment, the Shadow Hunter was able to melt into a patch of darkness and disappear entirely, resulting in Arhra slaughtering his own disciples in a murderous rage.{{Fn|4}}
He is now known as the '''Fallen Phoenix'''. Where Karandras would temper the Scorpions with the patience of a hunter, Arhra is said to have formed an [[Incubus|order of merciless warriors]], and is revered by the [[Incubii|Incubus]]. {{Fn|9}}{{Fn|10}}
Arhra's present whereabouts are unknown and shrouded in rumour, but it is believed he may be the mysterious [[Drazhar]].,{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|7}}and it is perhaps not by fate that Drazhar chose to duel [[Jain Zar]] on Zandros{{Fn|11}}.
