Farseer Yrthrian Mardawn hails from the Eldar Craftwodd of Saim-Hann. The Eldar of this particular Craftwodd have a unique social structure very similar to that followed by the Eldar Exodites. All Saim-Hann Eldar, including the seers, live in large extended 'families', each of which has a single hereditary leader. The leader's close kin comprise the ruling elite of the family. It is the leader of the family and his kinsmen who decide what the family will do in time of war or other crisis, and this sometimes leads to Saim-Hann families following their own agenda, with little regard for the consequences for Saim-Hann Craftworld as a whole. In some very rare cases this has even led to the families fighting each other, although most of these conflicts are settled in ritualistic form consisting of single combat between two chosen champions.
Some five years ago Yrthrian's family were drawn into iust such a feud. To resolve the conflict it was decided that the battle of champions should take place in a mere decades time - the bat of an eye for the longlived Eldar race! Yrthrian is a Farseer and by his powers of divination he determined that the path that would lead to his family triumphing lay in the Underhive of Necromunda Primus. What Yrthrian had foreseen was that in this sump of depraviry lay one whose skill with knife and blade was such that he could teach a combination of moves that would despatch the enemy champion. Who this person was Yrthrian did not know - but should he see them fight then he would know in an instant if they were the saviour that he sought.
