Asurmen
Asurmen is said to have been the first Eldar Phoenix Lord. He was the founder of the Eldar Path of the Warrior and he created the first shrine of Asur, the Dire Avenger shrine, which was to grow into the most wide-spread of the Aspects.
Asurmen was a Phoenix Lord, masters of the path of the warrior, specialised in their own way of killing and also founders of their own Aspect Warrior shrines. His name means "The Hand of Asuryan" and it was he who led the Eldar race away from their doomed homeworlds at the time of the Fall.
Following the fall of the Eldar, Asurmen founded the first of the Aspect shrines, the Dire Avengers. He has travelled to more craftworlds than any other Phoenix Lord, teaching those Eldar who wanted to learn. The greatest of his students went on to found their own Aspect shrines and became Phoenix Lords themselves. His ancient armour incorporates vambraces with integrated Shuriken Catapults and his Diresword was the first created and contained the spirit of his brother, Tethesis, who was slain by a Daemon.
Asurmen is the reason that Shrine of the Dire Avengers has always been the most common of all the warrior aspects. He was extremely well travelled founding a multitude of shrines in all the major Eldar Craftworlds. He has also founded more shrines than any of the other Phoenix Lords.1
