Yrthrian Mardawn
Yrthrian Mardawn was a Farseer from the Eldar Craftworld of Saim-Hann.[1b]
The Eldar of this particular Craftworld have a unique social structure very similar to that followed by the Eldar Exodites. All Saim-Hann Eldar, including the Seers, live in large extended 'families', each of which has a single hereditary leader. It is the leader of the family and his kinsmen who decide what the family will do in time of war or other crisis, and this sometimes leads to Saim-Hann families to fighting each other, although most of these conflicts are settled in ritualistic form consisting of single combat between two chosen champions.[1b]
Some years ago Yrthrian's family were drawn into just such a feud. To resolve the conflict it was decided that the battle of champions should take place in a mere decades time - the bat of an eye for the longlived Eldar race! Yrthrian is a Farseer and by his powers of divination he determined that the path that would lead to his family triumphing lay in the Underhive of Necromunda's Primus. What Yrthrian had foreseen was that in this sump of depravity lay one whose skill with knife and blade was such that he could teach a combination of moves that would dispatch the enemy champion. Who this person was Yrthrian did not know - but should he see them fight then he would know in an instant if they were the saviour that he sought.[1b]
He travels the Underhive with two Fire Dragon bodyguards to avoid attracting attention.[1b]
