Yvraine was the closest living thing in spirit to the [[Eldar Empire|ancient Aeldari]] who existed prior to the birth of [[Slaanesh]]. Yvraine was originally born on [[Craftworld]] [[Biel-Tan]]. She walked many paths, from that of dancer to [[Warlock]] to [[Path of the Warrior|warrior]]. Eventually exiled from Biel-Tan, she explored every corner of Eldar society. Becoming an [[Outcast]] she travelled the stars with a band of [[Ranger]]s, learning the art of patience. Despite this she still felt restless in her life.{{Fn|5a}}{{Fn|7b}}
While travelling aboard the ''[[Lanathrialle]]'', she forsook her loose band of Outcast allies to join the void-faring crew, as she felt the call of the void. After many years and battles as a [[Eldar Corsair|Corsair]], she earned herself the name 'Amharoc', meaning 'Pitiless One' for her viscous streak and keen sense for opportunity. She became a famed Corsair commander and brought great riches to the ''Lanathrialle''. Despite this some among her crew saw her as a pretender in life, only donning each new role superficially to be cast aside without ever truly committing. Yvraine herself admitted there was some truth to this. With every success she would quickly seek out a new challenge. When her crew finally mutinied, Lord [[Aracleo]] took control of ''Lanathrialle'', but had far less fewer and fewer successes without their former captain. Yvraine was exiled at [[Port Vilifact]] in [[Commorragh]].{{Fn|5a}}{{Fn|7b}}
Now forced her to flee into the [[Webway]],{{Fn|2}} she had been humbled by her crew and all her former grandeur removed. She struggled to eek out a living on the streets of the Dark City, almost becoming one of the [[Starveling]]s roaming its dark alleys. She fought with every iota of strength she had in order to join the [[Wych Cult]]s, carving out a place through ability alone. Known as the 'Daughter of Shades' in Commoragh, her foreign heritage made her a deliciously controversial figure amongst the ruling classes. Her shrewd displays consisted of stately elegance that would erupt into bloody whirlwinds in a moment, if roused to ire. Her penchant for decisive application of excessive violence endeared her to most, if not all, Drukhari. Again rising through the ranks, Yvraine became a [[Succubus]]. It is debated whether this was through skill alone, or due entirely to the patronage from [[Lady Malys|Malys]], a shrewd and scheming former paramour of [[Asdrubael Vect|Supreme Overlord Asdrubael Vect]]. Regardless, this would eventually lead to a significant blow to Vect's rule being dealt.{{Fn|5a}}{{Fn|7b}}
