The Harlequin

The Harlequins are a faction of the Eldar race to whom the responsibility of remembrance falls. They travel from Craftworld to Craftworld, keeping the legends and ancient history of the Eldar race alive through their dance, drama and martial performance. The Harlequins are both servants of the Laughing God - the only deity of their race to survive the Fall - and custodians of the hallowed Black Library of Chaos. For the Harlequins there is no distinction between art and war; they are the archetypal warrior poets, travelling the labyrinthine expanses of the Webway, bringing enlightenment to their audiences and certain death to the servants of darkness.
