In your opinion which Named Character in the Dark Eldar Codex is te best when making just a standard DE army?

And it would be awesome to hear your opinions on why your choice is the best.

I'd say Baron. He gives you a 21/36 chance of going first and you can put him with Beastmasters to make them more survivable.
Duke is only really good if you're going for a full mech list with tons of Wyches.

And Drazhar is probably the second worst HQ choice next to the Decapitator.

Vect is overpriced.
Malys is good.
Drazhar is overpriced too.
Lelith... i think i have left to play her.
Rakarth may be good, be he is in "coven" lists, and i dislikes covens. No Fleet, no grenads, no PW... And you're assaults units ?
Sliscus is good in a Raider spam list, as it give all your vehicles Deepstrike. Plus he is nasty in CC. And two rolls for the drugs.
Kheradruakh... not played him yet.
Sathonyx makes Hellions Troops, and give them nasty bonus, and give you +1 for first turn. Plus he can charge at S8 (!).

So i voted Sathonyx.

Malys or the duke

Duke or Baron, except the Duke in particular requires a list tailored to him with a lots of raider-bourne wyches.
