The 40K Compendium (admittedly quite old with the possibility that some aspects are no longer canon) made mention of a type of Harlequin known as a Warlock. As many of us know, among the Craftworld Eldar this is a term reserved for combat-oriented Seers. Is it possible that the Seers of the Harlequins, the Shadowseers, hold this title in the masque? Or is the term "Warlock" simply and outdated term for Shadowseers?

I'm guessing its an outdated reference, althoug it could be that a Shadowseer is mearely an exceptionally powerful Harliquin Warlock. Sort of a second level.

If you do some digging on Lexicanum, there are mention of "White Seers" of the Black Library, seers who are immune to corruption of Chaos and who's job it is to capture, catalog and destroy chaos artifacts gathered by the Eldar and hidden in the Black Library. There is also a councel of Farseers from all of the Craftworlds (or all the ones that matter depending on your source) that apparently dictate the actions of the Black Library (screw any Dark Eldar imput, nevermind that the Harlequins are susposed to be neutral to both factions).

Outdated reference.

The red book is RT and the harlequin article and list dates to WD95 or so (circa early 1988), and the aspects came out AFTERWARDS (WD127) a couple of years later (1990).

When the harlequins came out, Eldar did not have "warlocks" yet (only psykers like every other race with them) or any other aspect or path. Craftworld eldar also didn't have "Avatars" (they were Harlequin only and they were aspects of Cegorach).
