Do the Harlequins as a whole have a leader? I mean, they should, like some head harlequin who is in charge of the Black Library etc.
Is there?

Isn't their overall leader supposed to be The Laughing God himself?

That would be correct, the Harlequins ultimately all answer to Cegorach, and as he's still kicking and active, they do actually have commands from him to answer to.

I wonder if he ever trolls them, or reserves his trolling for others; Either way, I'm sure he gets a jolly laugh out of it.

Then Horus comes across the lone grot, somehow managing to kill the Emperor, and punts it into space.

Cegorach has ultimate command, but I don't think he runs day to day buisness. I think the Solitaires handles that.

no solitaires are outcasts even by Harlequins standards. They have Head Harlequins that run individual troupes and they kinda do their own thing; but overall command is held by Cegorach.

I guess its him, himself, and seeing as how Khaine is alive in the real universe (albiet in a million pieces) i don't think it's that far fetched to have the laughing god be a material creature; although i'm going by what i've picked up on lexicanum etc. so it may not be completely reliable...

Yeah, the Laughing God himself is who heads the Harliquins.
Certaintly its his physical form, probably one he took when he entered the Webway. he doesn't leave so Slannesh can't get him.

Doesn't Cegorach look like a Solitaire? I'm pretty sure I read somewhere about people encountering a Solitaire and realizing it was the Laughing God all along when the Solitaire is already long gone.

I should have left him there. He had served his purpose. He owed me nothing - yet he gave himself to me willingly. Why? I know not. He is nothing more than a pathetic human. An inferior race. A mon-keigh. But still I broke off my wings so that I might carry him easier. I took him from that place, into the snowstorm where our tracks will not be found. He is heavy. And he is dying. And he is slowing me down. But I will save him. Why? I know not. He is still warm. I can feel his blood ebbing across me. For every beat of his heart, another, slight spill of heat. The heat blows away on the winter wind. His blood is still warm. But fading. And I have spilled scarlet myself. The snow laps greedily at our footsteps and our lifeblood, covering them without a trace as we fade away.

Cool, so it would make sense to use a so called, "avatar of cegorach" as a character?

I would believe so, kinda like the Craftworld Eldar equal of a Phoenix Lord!
Or they could have an equalivant of a Head/Ring Master (in keeping with the theme)
that instructs them on what Plays to give and where....also the Harle's are in possession
of the Black Library...gotta wonder who, exactly, operates that?

Last I checked, the Harlequins as a whole sort of answer to whatever authority runs the Black Library (which is probably Cegorach), but each troupe is almost completely independent.
