'''Keepers of Secrets''' are the [[Greater Daemon]]s of [[Slaanesh]].{{Fn|1}} Created subconsciously by the Prince of Pleasure, these Daemons are the ultimate manifestation of his desire for physical excess and pleasure in battle. {{Fn|4}}
==Keepers Overview==[[Image:Rune-KeeperOfSecrets.JPG|thumb|right|100px|[[Dark Tongue]] rune for Keeper of Secrets in battle==.{{Fn|16}}]]
Each Keeper of Secrets has a unique appearance that mirrors Slaanesh's mood at the time of its creation. Their looks can range from terrifyingly-haunting-but-almost human to bestial, though all are tall and lithe with long claws and limbs and a crown of horns that sprouts from their head and intoxicating eyes that look like black crystals.{{Fn|1}}
The Keepers of Secret live to feed from others' emotions, especially fear, hope, and despair. They love the sensation of cutting through flesh and bestowing the feeling of pain onto their enemies.{{Fn|1}} As well as striking amazingly fast with their limbs, they also cause corruption in another way: they love to turn emotions such as courage, bravery and valour into selfishness and other emotions.{{Fn|4}}
==Exalted Keeper of Secrets==
The greatest Keepers of Secret are known as '''Exalted Keepers of Secrets'''. Glamour-wreathed, stiletto-clawed and black-hearted, Exalted Keepers of Secrets are the ultimate expressions of every obsession, their sickening presence enough to drive lesser warriors to rapturous seizures. Perverse acts of tortuous intensity are committed with lightning speed and dark glee.{{Fn|11}}
