      Thats a Dark Eldar, or Drukhari. You know, the space elves that went so incredibly, interstellar, ballistic with sex and torture that they, uknowingly, created the chaos god Slaanesh which started with this big ass psychic explosion that killed a lot of Eldars. And i mean a lot!

      Or if that’s your thing, go ahead!

        Isn’t Drukhari’s whole thing is that they fully embrace the tenents of Slaanesh - over the more reserved and secretive Eldar cousins after their great empire collapsed with their excess birthing a chaos god?

        If I recall, Drukhari survive by extracting the very essence of another creature’s most tormented pain, agony or whatever qualifies as excess.

        So they would go out of their way to extract it through cruelty, abuse, torture or whatever achieves the desired response they are looking for and push a person to the extremes into a state that you wish you were dead and then push even further keeping you there on the fine edge to get their fill then, then dispose of the husk once it served it purpose or they got bored with their “toy”.

        I am only have a passing interest in the universe so I am opened to be corrected on any point if I missed something or misinterpreted

          Close, they do everything that a Slaanesh worshipper WOULD do for that essence, but they do it in an attempt to NOT have their souls devoured by Slaanesh for eternity. It staves off Slaanesh for ill-defined reasons, while Slaanesh would greatly prefer voring all of the Dark Eldar’s souls en masse.

            So it is like they have a “chaos disease” or a “drug addiction” and they do what they do as a means to engage in the high of their excesses while not suffering from all that “chaos corruption” nastiness.
