Kabal of the Bloodied Hand
"It is in their desire for true-immortality that they Kabalites find themselves inexplicably locked to our existence. This locks simulates loyalty unknown to the other Archon, and we shall use it up, just as we use the Dark Stars." - Kaela Mensha Baretz Sonok
The Kabal of the Bloodied Hand was founded by Baretz Sonok, Hierarch of the Incubi Order of the Spider. He did not gain this title through training, he gained it by besting the Hierarch in combat, through taking the title "Kaela Mensha" he upset the orders whom still offer some amount of support of the God of War. The attack on his home, then a Dracon of the Poisoned Tongue Kabal, resulted in his ascendancy to the Hierarch seat.
His first act as Hierarch was to take down the statue of Khaine and replace it with one of himself. The Incubi subordinates, trained to kill and not to question that the strongest rules, accepted the gesture, and continued their vigorous training. His position allowed him to familiarize himself with the weapons of the Incubi, not generally allowed to the normal population. He ruled as the Hierarch of nigh a millennial before his boast of superiority could be seen. He was seen striking down an Avatar of the God Khaine in a single blow in a furious raid of Biel-Tan.
He openly spoke of the necessity to forget the few Gods that still find reverance in the Dark Eldar society, such as Khaine. His followers believe his stated superiority on this account.
The Kabal follows as Acolytes might follow the words of a god. Their rituals consist of partaking in the Bloody Communion each morning with their soul intakes. This involves the ingestion of a concotion of drugs that drown the Kabalites with sensory hallucinations, and with all the erected statues and propaganda of their Archon, they cannot help but be drawn into the fray of belief that has poured out around him.
His name even means "Branded Messiah," and he bares the mark of an assistant slave of the Haemonculi. The skill and wit of the Archon never comes into question, for he has proven time and time again that he has the abilities to walk the tightest of edges, and lie down his own razor paths for those whom follow, until he reaches a desired pinnacle.
Since the lapse in the control of the Black Heart Kabal, the Bloodied Hand Kabal is gradually moving to obtain more subrealms, ones that will not provoke a full scale attack. The Archon sits, watching the events of the Dark City like a predator, awaiting the time when blood covers the streets of Commorragh, so that he may clean up behind them.
Armor Theme -
I like the chaos black primary pattern with an enchanted blue/liche purple for details, as well as one blood red gauntlet.
