Demon Lord Elrak'Ysha is one of the most powerful demon lords of the dark eldar race. Demon Lords are a strange mix of psyker, king, bonesinger and diabolist. Thier specialty is demon binding -- a danjerous and bizzare ritual during wich the Demon Lord summons up a demon from the warp by offering it a sacrifice, and then binding it into wraithbone or a spirit stone. If he suceeds then the demon is his unwilling slave wich is forced to power the device it was bound into and to help its master. If the Demon Lord fails the demon will escape and most likely drag him into the warp!
Elrak'Ysha is physically an abnormal eldar hies eyes glow red, his skin is pure white, as is his hair. He can not survive unless he regurally feasts on mortal blood, or if he draws sustenance from demons. Since he is qan expert Demon Binder he has many, many souls at his service, wich he regurally consumes. This dangerous practice has earned him the 'title the insane'.
When he was young, before he was a skilled demon binder, he had many objections to the mindless slaughter that he dark eldar relish in, and he was viewed as a strange and sympathetic freak. One night he called upon Arioch, the demon prince that his great grandfather had sworn allegiance to. Some say he meant to strike up a bargain with Arioch and hopefully escape the Dark Eldar and fight aganst Chaos, but when he emerged from his summoning he had tottally changed his view point. Now he relished death and cruelty, and now he championed chaos. This is why the rumor that he is possesed by Arioch himself is most likely not unfounded ...
