The Pirate Prince Karhedros is a male Dark Eldar who served as the Archon of the Kabal of the Burning Scale and was known as the Lord of the Serpent Void, Victor of the Wars of Vengeance, First Scion of Commoragh and Beloved of She-Who-Thirsts.[1a]

At some unknown point, he resided in the Dark Eldar home city of Commoragh in the Webway where Slaanesh planted the seeds within his mind to create the "true" home for the Eldar race.[1d] Thus, he left with those loyal to him which included his lieutenant Akrelthas, a cadre of Wyches and a bodyguard detail of Incubi where they acted as pirates and slavers in order to flee the persecution on Commoragh.[1-p109] They began targeting the Imperium of Man where Karhedros attempted to discern what was valuable to it as he deemed that personnel or equipment was not whereupon he determined that worlds were useful.[1b] Thus, he secretly established a base on the world of Entymion IV where he intended to use conflict to create a portal into the warp from which She-Who-Thirsts could transform the entire planet into a Daemon World that would become new Commoragh and become a beacon for the Eldar race. During his secret shadow conflict, he learnt of the existence of the renegade Soul Drinkers Chapter and seemingly formed an alliance with Chapter Master Sarpedon though intended to use him to achieve his goal.[1a]

Eventually, Karhedros succeeded in his goal by using sorcery to open a tear in reality and his continued survival made hims believe that She-Who-Thirsts approved of his actions thus elevating him to a Pirate King.[1c] Thus, a rift in the warp began to develop from which Daemons began appearing into the material realm. As his plans came to fruitrition, Karhedros believed he was reborn as a god and that he would become the herald of a new reunified Eldar race that served She-Who-Thirsts. During this time, he attacked Commander Reinez of the Crimson Fists but during the struggle, the Space Marine sent the Dark Eldar Pirate King flying into a warp portal where he was killed by the entities on the other side.[1e]
