(Expanded the fluff so that there's a real reason for banning him. Simply accepting defeated opponents doesn't sound like a reason for Vect to have Pyralist banished.) |

The Archon of the Kabal is a young lordling named Pyralist Praxeter, a young noble who discovered the Mind Widow after a hunting trip went wrong and he was left stranded on Mesolethe, a planet in the Medigeminus System, for several decades. In this time he learned the ways of the spiders, how to hunt and kill, surviving on human and other creatures for sustenance and he would hunt and eat the spiders as well when he mastered their ways.
His family had given him up for dead, his brothers gleefully so, and when he returned he had to fight them to regain his position as heir and eventual head of House Praxeter. He took his remaining sisters for his brides, sold his only remaining youngest brother to a Haemonculus to experiment on, and began importing his beloved 'real family' into Commoragh. During this time he played a game with his enemies, capturing them and putting them in a labyrinth with his pets. If they could master the sensory overload and survive, he would spare them and permit them to join his Kabal. If not, well, he would join the spiders for their feast. This, in itself isn't particularly bad (by Dark Eldar standards) except he would extend this practice to lesser races causing his Kabal to have a minority of non-Eldar.
Vect caught wind of this and had the young Archon cast out. Outraged by his exile, the young lord returned to the spider-lands that had nourished him in his youth seeking to make a personal fiefdom out of it. He now raids from out of the shadow of its moon, slowly gathering a large and grotesque army of mutated humans with which he plans to retake his birth right in Commoragh. However, the entrance of an Imperial Crusade into the Sector, along with the presence of the Zhar-Tan Eldar, is forcing Praxeter to lay low, lest his carefully gathered army be laid to waste.
