Arhra is mentioned in all eldar codecii back to 2nd ed. He also (briefly) appears in a flashback sequence in Path of the Warrior. He's mentioned in the incubi fluff, too. He's cool :) I really, really, really want to do a conversion of him, but lack the skill required to do it justice.

I agree that Cypher could be a goer. Erebus, maybe, but personally I think he's a boring one-dimensional git. Sly Marbo I dont actually know any fluff for, other than him being a rambo rip off.

OK, ready for round 2? I've made it 5 characters this time, and all of them are suggestions I've recieved plus my own few. Here they are in the order I drew them out of a hat.

1: Cypher
2: Commissar Cain
3: Chaplain Grimaldus
4: Iron hand Straken
5:Asdrubael Vect

Start campaigning! Good luck!

-1 to grimaldus as he's so unimportant ive never even heard of the bugger.

+1 to Vect for being considerably smarter than your average bear.

+1 to Chaplain Grimaldus of the Black Templars. When the temple he was fighting in fell down, he got some servitors to carry it around for him.

-1 to Vect for being just another over the top evil mastermind.

+1 to Cypher for being so elusive that GW forgot to put him in a codex.

-1 To Vect for ruling a Kabal that sounds more emo than most.

-1 to grimaldus for being not only obscure but also for being a black templar - a chapter so dull they haven't had a codex since 3rd ed.

+1 to vect for being the only special character who not only rose from obscurity (a lowly slave) but is the only playable character who rules an entire species. Chapter master? 1000troops? Pah! Vect is the undisputed leader of every dark eldar in existence. And there are a lot of dark eldar, lemme tell ya.

+1 to Grimaldus who once slapped down the princeps of an Emperor class titan for being a wuss.

-1 to Vect because, like Eldrad, he's a stinking, filthy xenos.
