==Biography==

Eldrad was over 10,000 years old, and was the first to warn the [[Imperium]] of [[Horus]]' treachery.{{Fn|1}} On the [[Maiden World]] of [[Tarsus]], Eldrad attempted to warn [[Fulgrim]] of Horus' betrayal to no avail, only later discovering that Fulgrim had already been corrupted by [[Slaanesh]] and was beyond reasoning.{{Fn|1a}} Eldrad then attempted to end the lives of the [[Primarch]] and his bodyguards but this would end disastrously for Ulthwé's warriors, resulting notably in the loss of Eldrad's trusted adviser, the ancient [[Wraithlord]] [[Khiraen Goldhelm]]{{Fn|1b}} and an [[Avatar of Khaine]].{{Fn|1c}} The supposed perfidy of the Eldar would culminate in Fulgrim's widespread [[virus bomb]]ing of many maiden worlds.{{Fn|1d}} It was this fateful event that would cause Eldrad's massive distrust of the human race. Nonetheless, Eldrad again intervened in human affairs when he appeared before the [[Cabal]] agent [[John Grammaticus]]. Ulthran revealed to Grammaticus that he opposed the Cabal's aims and that their belief that Horus would usher in Chaos' ultimate demise was not set in stone. He believed that humanity were meant to be the firebreak against Chaos, and that without them the Eldar would fall and the galaxy shortly afterwards. He offered Grammaticus a way to leave the Cabal and a chance to stop being a traitor to his own race. Using the [[Fulgurite]] originally intended to kill the [[Emperor]] and then [[Vulkan]], Grammaticus was instead convinced by Eldrad to use it to heal Vulkan's shattered psyche.{{Fn|6}}

===Recent History===

It was through Eldrad's foresight that the Eldar began a series of raids against the [[Ork]]s, culminating in the emergence of [[Ghazghkull Thraka]] as perhaps the most powerful [[Ork]] [[Warboss|Warlord]] in the galaxy, and diversion of his [[Waaagh!]] to the [[Hive World]] of [[Armageddon]], rather than allow the Orks to move against the Craftworlds.{{Fn|3a}}{{Fn|4}} Eldrad deliberately instigated the [[Second War for Armageddon]], costing the Imperium millions of lives, to save 10,000 Eldar lives. Had it not been for his warning, the [[Iyanden]] Craftworld would have been completely unprepared for the attack of [[Hive Fleet]] [[Kraken]]. In addition, he prevented Craftworld [[Saim-Hann]]'s infestation by the [[Hrud]],{{Fn|4}} allowed [[Farseer]] [[Auric Stormcloud]] to invoke the [[Pact of Anwyn]] to disrupt [[Daemon Prince]] [[Shaha Gaathon]]'s plans,{{Fn|14}} thwarted the mysterious works of the awakened [[C'tan]]s and stopped the [[Days of Blood]] from coming to pass.{{Fn|3a}}
