Pale Stalker

The Pale Stalker is the name given to an extremely powerful milk-white Slaanesh Keeper of Secrets, that took part in the War of Beasts on Vigilus.

She is a huntress of inhuman skill and patience[1a], who first appeared as part of the Black Legion's summoning of Daemons onto the Imperial warships, that sought to keep them from reaching Vigilus. The Pale Stalker materialized onto the Laurels of Victory, which served as the flagship for Marneus Calgar and she was able to gravely wound the Ultramarines Chapter Master, before his Honour Guard sent her back to the Warp[1b]. The Keeper of Secrets was later summoned upon Vigilus' Kaelac's Bane continent by the Thousand Sons, in a last act of spite against the Dark Eldar forces that had defeated them. Blizzards were raging upon Kaelac's Bane at that time, which left her nearly invisible to the Dark Eldar, who then became easy prey for the Keeper of Secrets. The fearful Xenos named her the Pale Stalker and within three weeks of her manifestation, the Dark Eldar had lost a full third of their number. The remainder were so petrified of the nigh-invisible Keeper of Secrets, that the Dark Eldar made one last raid into Vigilus' Hive-sprawls, to capture as many prisoners as they could, before the Xenos fled the world.[1a]
