Kael Ra is Prince Ecliptic and former Autarch of Craftworld Alaitoc. Millennia later, he would aid his Craftworld again, from the form of a Wraithlord, during the Carnac Campaign.[1a]

History

Kael Ra led the Alaitoc Eldar against an Ork horde during the Battle of Talhennor. While engaged with the enemy, he was isolated from his forces when an Ork Bommer exploded on the battlefield. Though he lost both legs in the explosion, he continued to reap a heavy toll on the Orks until their Warboss pinned him to the ground and killed him. His death would drive Alaitoc's forces to defeat the Ork horde and claim the planet Talhennor for their Exodite brethren. After the battle, Ra's Soulstone was taken to Alaitoc's Infinity Circuit.[1a]

Millennia later, the Spiritseer Nestra Orphiel would enter the Infinity Circuit to ask for Ra's aid during the Carnac Campaign. Alaitoc's forces had been defeated by Necrons led by Overlord Anrakyr the Traveler and Ra was needed to fight, to give the Eldar and Exodites on the planet time to evacuate to Alaitoc. After much thought, Ra agreed and his Soulstone was placed within a Wraithlord to lead the Continnum, a group composed of Orphiel and the Soulstones of other heroes of Alaitoc in Wraith-constructs[1a]. Once on Carnac, the Continnum went to battle and despite the Necrons' superior numbers, they managed to hold them back long enough for the majority of the Eldar on the planet to evacuate.[1b]

Eventually, Anrakyr himself would lead a large force of Necrons against them and the strength of their attacks destroyed a majority of the Continnum. Having no choice, Ra and the few survivors retreated to Carnac's Warpgate and the safety of Alaitoc. As they fled the Anrakyr began to awaken the Necrons sleeping beneath Carnac, causing a massive earthquake and the very ground to shatter. As they neared the Webway Gate, Ra and the Spiritseer Orphiel were all that remained of the Continnum to reach the safety of Alaitoc - with Orphiel carrying Ra's Soulstone, after his Wraithlord was destroyed.[1b]
