Marazhai Aezyrraesh - History: Creatures of malice and avarice that dwell within the wounds of the galaxy, never has there been a more apt description of the Drukhari kindred of the Aeldari.They are the penultimate of an uncaring, ruthless galaxy that preys upon the unsuspecting and defenceless. Pain is their meat and suffering their wine, the psychic sustenance by which they stave off their ultimate end at the hands of the Dark God She Who Thirsts who dwells beyond the thin skin of realspace. Feeding off the misfortune of other intelligent species, they are held together by the fact that every other species that dwells within the galaxy would turn on them the moment they could.But these alliances of convenience, shaky at the best of times, run contrary to the inherent perfidious, backstabbing nature of the Drukhari. Yet they follow the byzantine rules of their wretched society of the great Webway city of Commorragh, living in a constant politically cutthroat arena while grappling with the far greater civilisations they prey upon.Among those high-rung players is Marazhai Aezyrraesh, a dracon or officer of the Kabal of the Reaving Tempest and a true scion of Commorragh.But something unexpected has happened and the balance he has worked hard to achieve has been thrown into disarray. For while he has mastered the political space of the Drukhari's realspace slave raids, the rules of Commorragh society operate under truly incomprehensible logic that would sooner end in his corpse thrown out into a gutter if so much as even a single one of his political pawns is misaligned. This makes his position even more precarious as, in taking steps to protect himself, he must rely upon the unpredictable and mercurial nature of a Human Rogue Trader to ensure his next steps play out smoothly.But politics is a dangerous game with life, sanity and sanctity on the line. And sometimes, the people taking chances and playing the game well are those who lose most often -- what might become of a Drukhari when their only lifeline is the one they used?Before coming to rely upon a mon-keigh, it would be generous to say the heir to the von Valancius dynasty and Marazhai had a turbulent relationship -- anything less would be quite abnormal. Drukhari raiders always want to pursue that which others have, and the Drukhari have very little without an ample supply of slaves captured from other intelligent species and stolen goods. But the dynastic worlds of a Rogue Trader and all that they have to offer can, at times, prove too tempting a target to resist. Even more so when they are defended by someone like the Craftworld Aeldari Ranger Yrliet Lanaevyss who seems more than capable of providing rich entertainment to a cruel, capricious soul. But things seldom pan out well when so many moving parts are involved in a plan.Now Aezyrraesh's once entertainment may well be his only safe haven from that which once served him. However, trust is not something easily bought, even more so when the one trying to earn the trust is by their very nature untrustworthy. But strange circumstances make for strange bedfellows. And only time will tell now whether this relationship with the Rogue Trader might have a chance to bud into something more or will end with one at the other's throat.Psychically energised by the pain and suffering of their foes, Drukhari delight in making sport of battlefields in which their lessers are fighting for their lives. They find a sickening glee in watching them cower and scramble while trying to mount some kind of desperate defence or heroic last stand. Only to then have it picked apart by the drug-fueled mania of the various cults that dominate Commorran society. In this way, Marazhai's unique Drukhari origin offers a special trait that separates him from the rest that empowers his ability to act in battle even whilst gripped by great pain.
