> Rurinil blade dancer

While his Coterie knows almost nothing about his past before joining though most have suspicions and even more have wild theories to explain his rise to power each becoming more outrageous with each retelling. The truth is a little less extreme than a former high autarch running off with a Farseers daughter to the dark city to gamble spirit stones for a fleet where he cheated the archon into giving him his first ship. In the beginning he was a free-spirited soul who while happy was never truly content in his home and didn’t understand how people didn’t feel the same. In his youth he tried to channel his energy into creating all manor of things and took a time on the path of the bonesinger, in this he gained a passion of working on ships and how travelled the webway and explored space. This was short lived as the Craftworld would soon go to war, so he changed his talents to crafting weapons and ammo gaining a taste of tools for war. After years of shaping psycho plastics, he felt ready to move on but before making the decision he went to clear his head and to do this Rurinil decided to climb the fall of dreams. It was here he met Syndriel, this started a long and complicated relationship that would last for much of his life.  Seeing her make her way to the same challenging climb he decided to be bold and challenged her to a race up the falls with the prize being the others company. Laughing at the absurd challenge she accepted, and the race started, the climb was easy enough for any Eldar and he found a few times he was outpacing her, so he started to show off allowing her to overtake him. When she got to the top first, he fined outrage and stated that she would never beat him again, from there they spent hours together under the stars and setting sun. after this glorious evening both met each other frequently then moved in together his path was one of service at this time and they lived happily for many years. one evening Rurinil came back home to find Syndriel in an off frame of mind and she confessed that she was going to join an aspect shrine namely the striking scorpions, this left Rurinil fractious, and he eventually joined a temple himself he became a howling banshee. It was here he gained a true taste for death and fearing what he could become left the shrine but was called back to war this time feeling morose he joined the shadow spectres.

After he expelled his demons Rurinil and Syndriel started living together again now he was on the path of service and she a warlock. This is where his life changed completely and his path, life and home became severed from him. During his work he was showing his discontent and without even realizing it started talking to rangers. This attracted the wrong kind of attention and after one word to many in the wrong place he was approached by the Craftworld leaders and told he had to leave and become a ranger.

Before he left he tried to contact Syndriel but she was sequestered in training for the with path and could not be distracted from that training so he left a message crystal in there home, with no other options Rurinil messaged the rangers that he had herd all the stories of the wider universe from and explained his exile and asked to join them , they accepted this and said they would come back for him but would take some time so he decided to strike out on his own to try and met the ship faster.

It was during this trip he became entangled with the void dragons while he was walking he stumbled on a ancient webway port and decided to stay the night in one of the abandoned buildings then everything went wrong, when Rurinil woke he found a dark Eldar party had tracked him in the webway and where coming to take him to a fate worse than death but ether by luck or fate he was rescued by Eldar of a type he had never known, at first he thought they where craftworlders with shuriken weapons and grav tanks but didn’t recognize the large dragon rune then he saw they had splinter weaponry as well and where flitting around like hawks using strange jump packs. The dark Eldar retreated or where taken prisoner, Rurinil cautiously emerged from his hiding spot and approached the Eldar only then realizing they were corsairs.

The corsairs’ seeing he was not an enemy and an outcast offered for him to come with them because as a corsair anything he wanted could be achieved and no restrictions would be placed on him this sounded like a dream come true so he joined the void dragons corsairs and never looked back.

As a corsair his aspect training came in useful as it allowed him to be far more effecting in combat and raids leading him to becoming a felarch in short order but his real advantage and the trump card he held was his ability to craft weapons of great quality even being able to mimic some of the aspect shrines weapons, his best work he used as bribes and rewards for power and favour, eventually he gained enough political power to become a baron, from here he used not only crafted weapon and armour but also plundered treasure to gain what he needed from the other crews. After years of power building, he moved against the prince ensuring that all the crew on the bridge where his men save the bladeswarn who he had no ability to influence. When the time was right, he moved against Avel the Fireflash, Rurinil planned his ambush well he had his voidstorm bands tackle the princes bladeswarn and he offered the prince his life in exchange for his fleet.

he prince chose his fleet and died with a melta pistol to the head, this didn’t work as the shadowfield saved the prince so a fierce melee duel, with the bladeswarn out numbered and down and a circle of voidstorm around him Rurinil duelled fir hours or minutes it was impossible to say but ether luck or fate came to his aid and he managed to get a lucky slice in and slit Avils gut winning his life enduring fame and most importantly his own fleet now he had a legend to build.

## wargear

* void saber - Void Sabres are archaic weapons seem most frequently among Aeldari Corsairs. Crafted from wraithbone interlaced with a rare anathemic crystal found upon Dead Worlds orbiting the edge of the Ghoul Stars, Void Sabres are considered by some within the Aeldari race to be accursed. However in many Corsair bands these weapons are considered status symbols. Rurinil's void saber is a relic of the fleet that is "handed down" to each prince holds. stylized as a ancient power spear with a gleaming star-metal blade that has carved apart most races in the galaxy.

* fusion pistol - he Fusion Gun is a melta weapon developed by the Aeldari and commonly used by the Fire Dragon Aspect Warriors, as well as Storm Guardian units. This powerful weapon has a short range, but is capable of reducing an enemy battle tank to a pile of molten slag or vaporize an enemy soldier in under a second. Rurinil's fusion pistol was a artifact found when defending khain's shrine, for unknown reasons its ability to punch through armor is almost unparalleled,

* the dragons embrace - this is an enhanced suit of mesh armour featuring reinforced plating across vulnerable areas, a system of energy fields to screen against harmful radiation and extremes of temperature, and a gravity distortion matrix which allows the wearer to operate effectively in zero gravity environments. most often employed by corsairs in boarding actions, it is however rairly widely distributed due to the complexity of its maintenance. the dragons embrace are vacuum-hardened suits of custom tailored voidplate armor are gifted to high ranking void dragon officers, protecting them as much from the depredations of there subordinates as from enemy fire.

* Shadowfield - A Shadowfield is a rare defensive item that surrounds any person in a dark miasma of energy that Lyanna secured during her second visit to Commorragh. The field requires a great deal of concentration to activate, and a massive amount of self-confidence to maintain. On top of that it can hide the wielder at will in aura of darkness. However it is not indestructible and can be overloaded with enough damage, leaving the wielder vulnerable.

* Corsair Jet Pack - Corsair Jet Packs are wargear used by Eldar Corsairs. These differ from the crude solid fuel Jump Packs used by more primitive races, instead utilizing sophisticated gravitic vanes and pulse impellers to enable the wearer to maneuver with grace and ease. Corsairs often use these jet packs to carry out surface raids and ship-to-ship boarding assaults, able to operate them psychically without conscious thought. These jetpacks, however, do not have the ability to cover large distances, unlike those worn by Swooping Hawks.
