'''Eldrad Ulthran''' , whose name means "First of Ulthwé",{{Fn|19}} was the chief [[Farseer]] of the [[Ulthwé]] [[Craftworld]]. Eldrad is one of the oldest living [[Aeldari]] in the galaxy.{{Fn|19}} He is perhaps the most gifted [[psyker]] amongst the [[Eldar]], his incredible foresight having saved many thousands of Eldar lives. He created and carried into battle {{Fn|19}} Eldrad carries the ancient [[Staff of UlthamarUlthramar]]into battle, {{Fn|19}} and his resilience and power has been a rallying point for the declining Eldar race.

Eldrad Ulthran was is over 10,000 years old, and one of the oldest living [[Aeldari]] in the galaxy.{{Fn|19}} Ulthran forsaw the [[Tyranid|The Great Devourer]] before it ever entered the galaxy.{{Fn|19}} It is at Eldrad's direction that [[Craftworld]] [[Ulthwé]] remains close to the [[Eye of Terror]], vigilantly guarding against [[Chaos]].{{fn|19}} ====Horus Heresy===={{Main|Horus Heresy}}Eldrad was the first to warn the [[Imperium]] of [[Horus]]' treachery.{{Fn|1}} On who, 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 and his guard of the [[PrimarchUlthwé]] and his bodyguards but this would end disastrously for Ulthwé's warriors, resulting notably in the loss of Eldrad's trusted adviser, were unable to kill the ancient [[WraithlordPrimarch]] before Fulgrim unleashed [[Khiraen GoldhelmVirus Bomb]]s on the maiden world{{Fnfn|1b1d}} and an – losing the [[Avatar of Khaine]].{{Fn|1c}} The supposed perfidy of the Eldar would culminate in Fulgrimand Eldrad's widespread trusted adviser, the ancient [[Wraithlord]] [virus bomb[Khiraen Goldhelm]]ing of many maiden worlds.{{Fn|1d1b}} It was this fateful event that would cause in the melee and causing Eldrad's massive to distrust of the human race. Nonetheless, {{Fn|1d}} 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=Armageddon Wars===={{Main|Armageddon Wars}}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 tens of thousands of 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]],{{Fnfn|419}} allowed [[Farseer]] [[Auric Stormcloud]]  ====Recent History====Eldrad has begun to invoke the [[Pact Dome of AnwynCrystal Seers|Crystalise]] to disrupt [[Daemon Prince]] [[Shaha Gaathon]]'s plans,{{Fn|14}} thwarted and spends long days apart from the mysterious works world of the awakened living within the [[C'tanDome of Crystal Seer]]s , his movements slowing and stopped the his body beginning to turn a transparent crystal. Eldrad has forseen retiring his soul to mingle with those of his ancestors, but has denied this fate in order to continue to battle [[Days of BloodChaos]] from coming to pass.{{Fn|3a19}}

Eldrad's predictions were also famously instrumental in the closing of the warp rift above the [[Exodite]] World [[Haran]], which was to be used by the [[Chaos God|Gods of Chaos]] to pour forth their innumerable servants into the [[materium]] and the Eldar [[Webway]]. For many months, massed Eldar forces from all over the galaxy, joined by the mighty [[Phoenix Lord]]s and led by Eldrad, persecuted a great campaign against the forces of [[Chaos]]. Eventually they succeeded in closing the warp rift, but at the cost of many Eldar lives. This lead to the planet being known as Haranshemash, the world of blood and tears.{{Fn|3a}}{{Fn|3b}}

On [[Andante IV]]Had it not been for his warning, the [[Ezekyle AbaddonIyanden]] and Craftworld would have been completely unprepared for the attack of [[Chaos Sorcerer|SorcererHive Fleet]] [[ZaraphistonKraken]] engineered a meeting between himself and Eldrad by attacking a Webway gate leading to Ulthwé.{{Fn|219}} His ultimate aim was not to attack the In addition, he prevented Craftworld itself, but to wipe out Ulthwé[[Saim-Hann]]'s infestation by the [[Seer CouncilHrud]] by eliminating their only means of escaping the planet.,{{Fn|2a4}} Many deaths came in allowed [[Farseer]] [[Auric Stormcloud]] to invoke the battle that lead [[Pact of Anwyn]] to Eldrad and Abaddondisrupt [[Daemon Prince]] [[Shaha Gaathon]]'s meeting in combat but plans,{{Fn|14}} thwarted the ancient seer along with the combined might mysterious works of his retinue prevailed over the Despoiler and his awakened [[Black LegionC'tan]] warriors in a titanic hand-to-hand battle, but before s and stopped the killing blow could be dealt by the Staff [[Days of Ulthamar, Abaddon was whisked away Blood]] from the battlefield by his patron godscoming to pass.{{Fn|2b3a}} Eldrad had failed in his attempt to eliminate the great threat once and for all, and realized that his own end would soon be at hand.

Despite his exile, Eldrad continued to guide the Ynnari and formed his own group known as [[The Exiles]]. He later reappeared during the [[13th Black Crusade]], dispatching the [[Shadowseer]] [[Sylandri Veilwalker]] to aid the Imperial forces. He next appeared on [[Kalisus]] in the [[Cadian System]] as a member of the [[Ynnari]] to guide several Imperial survivors of the destruction of Cadia into the [[Webway]].{{Fn|9}}

Over his long life as a seer, Eldrad has created several unique [[Psychic Runes]] that only he has mastery of.{{Fn|10}} ==Previous Editions==It was previously established that Eldrad died aboard a [[Blackstone Fortress]] during the [[Thirteenth Black Crusade]]. However, He can supposedly cast from as of [[6th Edition]], Eldrad is still alive.{{Fn|4}} The 6th Edition [[Codex: Eldar (6th Edition)|Eldar codex]] makes no mention of the [[13th Black Crusade]] introduced in the [[3rd Edition]] [[Eye of Terror]] campaign and its eponymous [[Codex: Eye of Terror (3rd Edition)|codex]] in which he and [[Maugan Ra]] led the [[Black Guardians]].{{Fn|15}} Eldrad is now described many as being in his last days, crystallising, but very much alivefour thousand runes.{{Fnfn|419}}
