Spectre of Despair
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
The Spectre of Despair is a famous Harlequin Solitaire.[1]
During the Noctis Aeterna, the Spectre of Despair stalked the Imperial Governor Sylas Ghorondine who was trapped within the Nykos System due to a lack of Warp travel. Fleeing from one world to the next and expending entire Regiments of the Imperial Guarda s bodyguards, the Spectre of Despair mercilessly pursued him. Upon Nykos Secundus, the Governor abused his authority to leverage the deployment of an Eversor Assassin. In a vicious duel across the Governor's palace, the Solitaire was badly wounded but managed to lure the Eversor into the Governor's sanctum before giving the final blow. The resulting explosion obliterated the Assassin, Solitaire, and hapless Governor.[1]
