Yageloth[1]

Yageloth, the Master of Whispers is an infamous Wyrd House Delaque Bounty Hunter who is active in Necromunda's Hive Primus.[1]

History

While all of its true members are connected the Psychoterica, which grants House Delaque powers that border on those of psychics, none show as great a connection to the mysterious force as Yageloth does. However, unlike most of his brethren, Yageloth is also a powerful Wyrd and can hear the whispers of the Silent Ones that are worshiped by House Delaque. This led the Bounty Hunter to undergo a foolhardy journey to find the source of their whispers and, despite everyone thinking it was impossible, Yageloth somehow succeeded in doing so. However, it left him utterly changed, as he now has an incorporeal form which has perhaps left the Bounty Hunter completely divorced from his humanity. The ascension has allowed Yageloth to become one with the shadows and a living embodiment of the Psychoterica that connects all true Delaque together. This has made the bounty hunter become known as the Master of Whispers, as Yageloth's every utterance can break the minds of lesser mortals. Meanwhile, those who are more useful to him alive can find the truths they hold dear warped by a mere suggestion uttered by Yageloth.[1]

Though he is a bounty hunter, Yageloth still carries out missions for House Delaque and will fight beside its gangs - as long as he is paid to do so. Many gangs have reported that Yageloth will simply appear and do his house's bidding before disappearing, with confused allies and shell-shocked foes being left in his wake. When the bounty hunter has to fight, though, he is more inclined to act from the shadows, where he uses his Wyrd powers to crush, confound, and coerce his foes. If need be, however, Yageloth will strike with his vicious psychoteric blade and simply slip into the shadows and appear behind his allies should he be attacked. Adding to his strength is that poisons and other sinister weapons have no effect on Yageloth's incorporeal form. All of these abilities have now made the bounty hunter extremely difficult for his foes to conclusively defeat.[1]
