The '''Masque of Slaanesh''' is a [[Daemonette]] and was once [[Slaanesh]]'s favoured dancer and chief handmaiden until she was cast out by her master. Now she is forced to dance through the mortal and immortal worlds for eternity.{{Fn|1}}

During the eternal conflict that is the [[Great Game]], [[Tzeentch]] tricked [[Slaanesh]] into battling with [[Khorne]], a war that it could not possibly hope to win, and Slaanesh was defeated and humiliated. Seeing the dark mood of her master, the Masque took it upon herself to please it with her most energetic and scintillating dance ever. However, instead of his usual laughter and joy at such a sight, Slaanesh saw mockery and attacks on his wounded pride in each perfect combination of moves that the Masque executed. It condemned her as a traitor, and cursed her, proclaiming that if she wanted to dance, she must dance forever more.{{Fn|1}}
