This article provides a number of fluffy options for you to consider if you create your own Dark Eldar Kabal. Options were sourced from /tg/.
Kabal Motivation
Every Kabal wants something. Sure, all good Archons want pain, but what else does he or she want?

Kabal Age
| Kabal Age (d100)
|
| 1-50
|
Extremely Recently: Not very powerful.
|
| 51-75
|
250-1000 years ago: Middle-aged as Kabals go; can range widely in power.
|
| 76-90
|
1-2 thousand years ago: Most that are still around are powerful in their own extremely localized fiefdoms. Not a lot that are shadows of their former glory; Vect didn't leave much behind when he wiped somebody out.
|
| 91-99
|
3-10 thousand years ago: Vect's Kabal arose around this time. Kabal is either extremely powerful or a shadow of its former glory.
|
| 100
|
Before the Fall: Kabal is either extremely powerful or a shadow of its former, extensive glory.

Kabal Leader's Personality
| Archon/Haemonculus/Succubus Personality (d12, roll twice and add for really colorful results)
|
| 1
|
Insane- His mind is so twisted and erratic that even Tzeentch couldn't read it
|
| 2
|
Sadist- Your leader's desire to see others suffer is disturbing, even for a Dark Eldar
|
| 3
|
Calculating- He rivals Vect in his level of playing chess
|
| 4
|
"Intimidate by Example"- Your leader considers fear (and mutilation of failed subjects) to be the best of motivators
|
| 5
|
Delusional- Perhaps he thinks that torturing people is doing them a favor? Or maybe he believes that he actually some sort of God. Who knows
|
| 6
|
Indifferent- Sex and drugs gets old after a while. Your leader is more cold-hearted and jaded than the CEO of a suicide booth company
|
| 7
|
Hatred- Your leader is motivated by vengeance or a deep-seated hatred that fuels him to indescribable acts
|
| 8
|
Flamboyant- The only thing he loves more than his fancy outfits are dramatic displays of destruction and carnage; with him as the centerpiece
|
| 9
|
Arrogant- His pride outshines all others in Commorragh. They refuse to even have their clothes touched by all but the purest and most expensive courtesans.
|
| 10
|
Curious- "These grey-skinned creatures; send a raiding party to one of their worlds. I wish to know if their fore-heads can be used for something useful."
|
| 11
|
Hedonist- Your leader cares for little other than ecstatic pleasure and seeks out the highest of highs. Would probably release daemonettes into Commorragh just to fuck them.
|
| 12
|
Ambition- Torture and raiding are all fun and games, but he's in it for the big leagues. Vect better watch his back
|
Kabal Demeanour
| Kabal Demeanour (d6)
|
| 1
|
Swift As The Wind - Faster raiders even than other DE. They'll have the skin off your body faster than you can scream in torturous agony.
|
| 2
|
No Stone Unturned - Thorough looters and pillagers. Nothing is left untouched.
|
| 3
|
Purity Above All - A particular hatred of psykers, for the attention from She Who Thirsts that they bring.
|
| 4
|
See, But Don't Be Seen - Sneaky and undetectable right until the point where they leap out and feed you your own testicles to laugh at your gurgling.
|
| 5
|
Xenophobe/Xenophile - Particular hatred/interest for alien species. Might capture them for a zoo, or just slaughter them because they're not Dark Eldar.
|
| 6
|
Why do you hate Commorragh? - Particular hatred for their super-pure and uptight siblings.
|
Kabal Flaw
| Kabal Flaw (d8)
|
| 1–2
|
We Stand Alone - The Kabal maintains distant relations with everyone, seeing imminent betrayal everywhere.
|
| 3–4
|
Pride in the Colours - The Kabal insists on wearing gaudy and ostentatious ornamentation declaring their might and wealth.
|
| 5–6
|
Kabal Cult - The Kabal practices exotic and extreme rituals, even for the Dark Eldar.
|
| 7–8
|
Eye to Eye - The Kabal finds pleasure only in the slaughter of hand-to-hand combat.
