Eldrad Ulthran was the mightiest and most ancient Farseer of the Asuryani’s Ulthwé Craftworld. He was perhaps the most gifted psyker ever born amongst the Aeldari after the Fall, his incredible foresight having saved many thousands of Asuryani lives.
Before the Fall of Cadia in ca. 999.M41 during the 13th Black Crusade, Eldrad was already over 10,000 Terran years old.
Among Eldrad’s accomplishments are supposedly: igniting the Second War for Armageddon so as to spare the precious lives of 10,000 Asuryani, igniting the Sanapan Scouring, the Mortis Annihilation and the Third Coming of Orian, as well as an attempt to warn the Imperium of Man of Horus’ treachery even before the Horus Heresy had begun.
Ulthran was responsible for warning the Asuryani of Iyanden of the coming of Hive Fleet Kraken and partially awakening the Aeldari god of the dead Ynnead during the Battle of Port Demesnus.
This latter deed led directly to the Night of Revelations in Commorragh and the birth of the Ynnari faction, which Ulthran staunchly supports as he believes they represent his species’ only chance for salvation against the predations of Slaanesh.
Ulthran created and carries into battle the Staff of Ulthamar, and his resilience and power has been a rallying point for the declining Aeldari people.
