Cabal - Notable Members of the Cabal: Slau Dha - Slau Dha was an Eldar Autarch who served as a member of the Cabal's Inner Circle and offered John Grammaticus the chance to become an agent of the Cabal. Despite this, Slau Dha held humanity in low regard and commonly referred to them with the derisive term "mon-keigh" in the Eldar Lexicon. He was also one of the organizations most violent and militant members, but was extremely loyal to its cause. This loyalty made the Autarch sneak members of the Cabal into the Black Library, where they learned of the coming of the Horus Heresy. This knowledge allowed them to begin trying to shape the Imperium's impending civil war to their advantage. When Eldrad Ulthran began eliminating members of the Cabal over fears their plans would actually destroy the galaxy rather than save it from Chaos, Slau Dha was among the last of its members to be targeted. Eldrad and his agent Barthusa Narek infiltrated Slau Dha's palace on an unknown world, and ambused him when he was alone. Slau Dha condemned Eldrad as a traitor to the Eldar race before summoning a force of Harlequins. After a vicious battle, Slau Dha was slain, though Eldrad was wounded as well.Gahet - Gahet was a reptilian xenos and a powerful psyker who was a member of the Inner Circle of the Cabal and a member of a species whose origins predated even that of the Eldar. Gahet's species was known as the "Old Kind" and he may have been a Slann. A member of the inner circle of the Cabal, Gahet frequently acted as the organization's handler for its agent John Grammaticus. When Eldrad Ulthran decided to eliminate the Cabal in order to save humanity and find a new way to defeat Chaos in an alliance with Mankind, Gahet was one of the first members of the organisation he targeted for elimination. On an unknown world Eldrad attempted to reach Gahet, enduring a vicious psychic probe in the process as the alien tried to discover the Farseer's plan. However Gahet was stabbed from behind by the real Eldrad, with his previous target revealed to be Barthusa Narek. Gahet's dying body was then reduced to ash by Eldrad's telekinetic lightning.G'Lattro - G'Lattro was an unknown xenos who was a member of the Cabal's Inner Circle. An insectoid xenos, G'Lattro served as the Cabal's spokesperson and interpreter. He was the primary voice of the Cabal during their initial meeting with the Alpha Legion.John Grammaticus - Human psyker who served as a Perpetual, a being genetically engineered by the Cabal to possess the ability to reincarnate whenever death occurred, granting him functional immortality.Athithirtir - Athithirtir was a xenos and a Cabal representative to the Alpha Legion who informed the XX Legion that the Raven Guard was to come into possession of the undifferentiated Primarch gene-stock. He was slain after the Alpha Legion stole the genetic material from the Raven Guard.Damon Prytanis - Damon Prytanis is a human Perpetual, though this is not his true name as he had lived for so long he had forgotten it. Unlike his fellow human Cabal agent John Grammaticus, Damon held humanity in little regard and was known to remain loyal to the Cabal. He was even known to use the demeaning Eldar Lexicon expression mon-keigh for his fellow humans. Prytanis had been alive for untold lifetimes. Shortly after the ancient Battle of Iwo Jima in 945.M2, he was recruited by the Cabal and worked as an assassin throughout the rest of human history. Prytanis was later responsible for rescuing his fellow Perpetual Cyrene Valantion from Word Bearers custody and bringing her into the Cabal. He was forced to die and regenerate several times before Cyrene believed his story about the existence of Perpetuals. Later Damon accompanied Grammaticus to Macragge on his mission to kill Vulkan with Fulgurite. During the mission to kill Vulkan, Damon was badly mauled by the Night Lords Primarch Konrad Curze, though he used a flask holding a captured daemon to banish the Primarch into the Warp. Following the events on Macragge, Prytanis was charged to serve alongside the Eldar Slau Dha with looking after Grammaticus in a Cabal outpost. However this was infiltrated by Eldrad Ulthran and his assassin Barthusa Narek. The Ulthwe Farseer was determined to eliminate the Cabal due to his growing fears that their agenda would actually lead to the extinction of the Eldar if humanity was swallowed by Chaos. Prytanis was the latest target of their assassinations, but the human put up a vicious defence and summoned a team of mercenary guards. Eventually Eldrad and Narek were able to overwhelm Prytanis, and his neck was broken by the Word Bearers. As he was regenerating, Narek shot him with a shard of Fulgurite, finally killing the immortal assassin permanently.Cartur Umenedies - Cartur Umenedies was a Judge of the Adeptus Arbites during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy era. In truth, Umenedies was also an agent of the Cabal and was given functional immortality by the xenos organisation. However he was not a true Perpetual, and thus could be killed by conventional means despite his immortality and he would not reincarnate following death. During Eldrad Ulthran's campaign to destroy the Cabal, Cartur was among the first of its agents to be eliminated.Cyrene Valantion - Cyrene Valantion, known as the Blessed Lady by the Word Bearers Legion and the inhabitants of Colchis, was an early Confessor. She was the sole survivor of the destruction of the Word Bearer's "perfect city" of Monarchia on the world of Khur by the Ultramarines, losing her sight due to being exposed to the blinding light of Lance orbital bombardment when the Ultramarines razed the city. Thereafter she was venerated by many of those who followed the Word Bearers religious ideals, and was made a Confessor by Lorgar himself. Cyrene became very close and trusted friends to Argel Tal and Xaphen, who came to her with their troubles. One of the three Abyss-class Battleships was named in her honour as Blessed Lady. Cyrene was killed by the Legio Custodes for being in their way at the start of the Drop Site Massacre, and spent the next Terran year having her soul torn apart by daemons in the Warp. Later she was resurrected by Erebus as part of his scheme to better control Argel Tal. However she was apparently killed again during the Shadow Crusade when the starship Fidelitas Lex was heavily damaged. In truth she had reached an escape pod and met Cabal agents led by Damon Prytanis, who revealed that she had been transformed into a Perpetual following her resurrection. Prytanis asked her to come with them.
