Mydilian
Acothyst Mydilian is a Dark Eldar Haemonculus.[1]
History
In 703.M41 he was grievously injured somehow, but regrown by his masters in the Coven of Twelve. Seething after an imperfect regrowth that he judged to be a deliberate slight, the disfigured Mydilian gifted his masters in the Coven of Twelve with a flock of Aelindrachi shaderavens. The avian terrors were well received, for though it is rumored their caw slowly drives those who hear it insane, it would have been seen as an act of cowardice to refuse them. Given the inherent strangeness of the Haemonculi, few noticed that the Coven of Twelve were becoming ever more eccentric.[1]
A year to the day after Mydilian’s gift, several of the Coven’s senior Haemonculi departed into a shattered spar of the webway without warning. Their clarity of thought long gone, they plunged through a forbidden gate onto a long-lost Crone World, rubbing their clammy hands in anticipation of having daemonic ‘specimens’ to experiment upon.[1]
Upon a plain of burning bones the Covenites found more in the way of Daemons than they bargained for. The horizon was scarlet from end to end with the footsoldiers of the dreaded Blood God. A never-ending cycle of battle began as the souls of the Haemonculi were claimed as playthings by Khorne himself, denying them any chance of regeneration in their Commorrite lairs. They were condemned to an endless grind of unimaginative but extremely gory deaths, whilst Mydilian and three of his peers enjoyed a sudden promotion.[1]
