Solitaires are Harlequins who have, through some means, lost their souls. At death they are doomed to be claimed by Slaanesh. Only through a gamble by the Laughing God can they be saved.

They are outsiders, even among the Harlequins, and roam the universe alone, occasionally joining a masque for a single performance or battle as the fancy takes them. They almost always fight as individuals. In the Harlequin masques, they play the part of Slaanesh, as all others who attempt to play this part are driven mad by the experience.

They seek out Eldar considered promising and able to survive the trial that all Harlequins must endure. Though they are capable of speech, it is said that any who hear them speak are cursed.

The Solitaires are combat monsters, a dazzling blaze of light and colour that leap, spin and attack with blinding speed. As they are without souls, psychic powers have no affect on them, and they are completely fearless. All who stand in their presence are filled with an uneasiness, and somehow sense that they are with a being who should not be.

Solitaires are among the few that can freely enter the Black Library of Chaos.
