==Howling Banshee Exarch==
[[image:HowlingBanshee2e.png|thumb|right|200px|Howling Banshee Exarch.{{Fn|12}}]]
An [[Exarch]] is the leader of an Aspect Shrine. She is one that has traveled so far down the [[Path of the Warrior]] that she can no longer leave it and so dedicates herself fully as a high priest of Khaine. Exarchs wear more elaborate and ornate versions of Aspect armour which incorporate the spirits of past wearers, granting them not only wisdom and knowledge but a raw pool of psychic energy.{{Fn|1}} The Howling Banshee Exarch sits upon the "Storm Throne" within her [[Aspect Shrine]].{{Fn|15}}
The Exarchs of the Howling Banshees emphasize their aspect to the highest levels and help pass this knowledge on to their squads. Under her guidance a squad of Howling Banshees are acrobatic warriors, leaping and bounding into combat with deadly grace, while the war shout of an Exarch is even more devastating than the normal piercing cry of a Banshee Mask{{Fn|3a}} Instead of a normal power weapon some Exarchs will wield an [[Executioner]] or [[Triskele]], while others will replace both power weapon and shuriken for [[Mirrorsword]]s.{{Fn|3b}}
