Elarique Swiftblade is a female Eldar from Craftworld Alaitoc[1a] who eventually took the title of Autarch.[1b] She is known to have held a great deal of enmity towards the Chaos Sorceror Ygethmor.[1a] During the Thirteenth Black Crusade, a Warp Storm was heading towards the planet Medusa V that contained a portal into the Webway. The Farseers foretold that Alaitoc would suffer the most as the Warp would pollute the Webway and that Daemons would corrupt the Infinity Circuit of the Craftworld.[1a]

As a result, Autarch Swiftblade assembled the forces of a dozen Craftworlds with the intention of conducting a ritual to seal the portal into the Webway located on Medusa V before the Warp Storm engulfed the planet. However, only the closest to Elarique Swiftblade know that her arch-nemesis Ygethmor resided on the world and it is believed that she would gamble with the fate of her Craftworld in order to get her revenge on the Sorceror.[1a]

Ultimately, the Eldar managed to close the portal but at heavy loss which included the death of Autarch Swiftblade who died but not before beheading Ygethmor though she was slain by his bodyguard in turn.[a]
