Illic Nightspear has wandered the [[Path of the Outcast]] for thousands of years, seeking unknown regions of the [[Galaxy]]. He is known to different [[Ranger]] bands by many different titles; the Sentinel of the Stars, the Wayforger, the Shield of Alaitoic, and he cares little which name is used. A master of the [[Webway]]'s geography on a level that only the [[Harlequins]] surpass, it is said by the Eldar that he can arrive unheralded upon any planet, stepping through its [[Webway Portal]] with ease. Indeed, some say that he knows too much.{{Fn|2}}
Over the centuries, Illic's knowledge has benefited Alaitoc and its brother Craftworlds greatly, having guided many Eldar warhosts through the paths of the Webway to do battle on faraway worlds and arriving to turn the tide of battle. In addition, his skill and accuracy with a [[Ranger Longrifle]] is unparalled unparalleled and many an [[Ork]] [[Warboss]], [[Necron Overlord]], [[Chaos Champion]], and [[Imperial Guard]] [[General]] have met their end at his gaze. However, Illic has walked the Path of the Outcast for so long that it is no longer clear if he can ever leave it. Thus he wanders the galaxy, pursuing some hidden agenda that his acolytes whisper is the only thing staving off the [[Rhana Dandra]]. He has fought against the rise of the [[Necron]]s, sought out lost [[Seerstone]]s, and many say he seeks to transcendent the mortal plane altogether. Despite his mysterysmysteries, he has nonetheless attracted a loyal following of [[Eldar Pathfinder]]s.{{Fn|2}}
Initially trailing the Necrons in order to study them, Illic Nightspear would find himself a captive of the infamous [[Necron]] [[Overlord]] [[Zahndrekh]] on the newly conquered [[Tau]] world of [[Cano'var]] alongside the [[White Scars]] [[Space Marine Captain|Captain]] [[Kor'sarro Khan]]. Khan and Nightspear would join forces with the other prisoners in attempting to escape the world, and the two were the only survivors of the bloody battle against [[Obyron]] and his guards.{{Fn|1a}}
