Ok, so to make my playing more enjoyable, I created my own persona/ character to use in games. I even plan on flushing out specific missions for him with rewards or punishments. I hope to grow him and level him up for my own personal gain. IT will change the way I play to less competitive and more fluffy. Which will be cool (i think). So I would like some input on my story here for him. This would be in the Eldar codex in the independent character section. I am not a writer so please do not bash on my skills or lack there of. I am also aware that this is a very unlikely story, but I tried to tie it in as best as possible. Thanks in advance for any comments.


Razgriz Quai-Loc
The Ghost of Razgriz


Towards the later years of Eldrad Ulthran's physical existence, it was speculated that he had been secretly training an apprentice. This rumor came to surface after Eldrad revealed his prophecy regarding the forthcoming destruction of the Human world Cadia. He foretold of the Abaddon's greatest weapon ship and its plans to decimate Cadia. Eldrad also knew that he he would have to sacrifice almost every part of his soul to stop this prophecy from coming to pass.

Razgriz Quai-Loc was originally of Craftworld Ulthwe. He was the youngest Eldar of Ulthwe to become trapped on the path of the Witch and turn Farseer. It is still a mystery how his young mind did not succumb to the warp during his aggressive progression down the Witch path. Not many Citizens of Ulthwe trusted the young seer's prophecies or precognitions due to his young and reckless path. On one occasion, Razgriz even argued against Chief seer Eldrad's prophecy. Razgriz believed there was another possible action that could be taken to render a better future for Craftworld Ulthwe. In most cases, such a statement would be held as treason. After this incident, Razgriz was curiously promoted to Eldrad's seer council. No one quite knows whether Eldrad realized that he was out prophesied by such a young seer, or if Razgriz's confidence in his own powers is what caught Eldrad's eye.

In the following years, Razgriz led his own council, under the authority of Eldrad, on missions with goals that not many understood and in places not many have ever ventured. Thus is the nature of a seer's work. It is told that the council of Razgriz, upon return to Craftworld Ulthwe, had traveled far enough into the webway as to enter the Black Library. With the return of Razgriz came Eldrad's prophecy of Cadia and his own need for self sacrifice. Eldrad separated his consciousness into multiple waystones and gave them to his most trusted lieutenants and council members. Razgriz received the largest waystone. This led to the rumor that Razgriz was his secret apprentice. Some citizens of Ulthwe even believe that Razgriz was the child of Eldrad. This is however a very unlikely possibility. But the true nature of Razgriz and Eldrad's relationship is shrouded in darkness and may never be known.

After Eldrad entered the Blackstone Fortress's psychic matrix and committed his soul to fighting the corrupted core, all but one of his waystones went dark. After the fall of Eldrad, Razgriz was asked by Ulthwe's current council to lead the Craftworld. Accepting this offer also meant accepting that Eldrad was gone. Having in his possession Eldrad's last active waystone, he refused to take the place of his former master. Denying such a prestigious and important duty is looked at as blasphemy and treasonous. Razgriz was stripped of his title and powers, and was cast out of Craftworld Ulthwe.

After his exile, Razgriz continued to fight for the Eldar race but in his own way. His wear abouts are never truly known as he disappears back into the webway just as fast as he shows himself. Some Eldar believe that he has made his way back to the Black Library and spends his years learning of the old and forgotten knowledge that lies within. Imperium reports state sightings of Razgriz in impossible time, place, and sequence. No technology known to the Imperium or any Xenos race could lend him travel of that speed. The only possible explanation is that Razgriz has discovered secrets of the webway that are not yet known to the rest of the universe. These sightings often give Razgriz the title of Ghost.

During his exile, he amassed a substantial group of followers. Many view this group as a band of misfits and exiles, just like Razgriz himself. But with the guidance of Razgriz and his devotion to the cause, there is even talk of the start of a new Craftworld. Ships gather in dark corners of the webway and whispers can be heard of The Ghosts of Razgriz.


SIDE SNIPPET SECTION...

I do not blame the council of Ulthwe for my Exile. It was not my place to refuse such an offer. But as long as this stone glows in my hand, I know Eldrad is still alive. Such is my quest to find a way to bring his soul back the physical realm. I have acquired a following that wishes to do the same. Some my followers even suggest we forge our own craftworld. I continue to look into this possibility. The whispers tell of the Ghosts of Razgriz... That name is suiting. We shall remain as ghosts while continuing to manipulate the fate of the Eldar race behind the veil of night.
