Auric Stormcloud

Auric Stormcloud is a Farseer of the Line of Manan from Craftworld Ulthwé.[1a] He is on a quest to stop the daemon prince Shaha Gaathon's attempts to possess rogue trader Janus Darke. Auric is accompanied by his bodyguard and relative Athenys. Auric travels with Darke to the dead Eldar world of Belial IV to retrieve the Deathsword — an ancient and potent weapon, said to be an echo of the sword of Kaela Mensha Khaine. The sword supposedly has the ability to destroy daemons utterly rather than simply banishing them.[1x]

Auric is slain on Belial IV, but he had earlier put a soul-stone in Janus Darke's head under the pretense of it protecting Janus from daemonic possession. When Auric's own soul-stone was destroyed by the Daemon, his soul moved to the one in Janus's head, taking control of the body.[1x]

Description

Auric was taller than Athenys. While on Medusa he wore a massive bulky black cloak trimmed with white fur, to try to blend in.[1b]
