![]() ![]() They wield the Lore of Slaanesh or the Lore of Shadows, both designed to confuse and demoralize the enemy. In addition to their physical weapons, each of these daemons is an accomplished spellcaster. Any injury one may manage to deliver to these daemons will only elicit moans of pleasure, shudders of delight, and squeals of exhilaration. They do not fear death or pain and thrill at the prospect of torment, their own or another, for they seek sensation just as any of Slaanesh's children. The Keeper of Secrets is not only sadistic, but masochistic. They enjoy the sensation of talon on bone, of organs quivering against their pincers, and the pitch of a dying man's last scream. Many simply sit, stupefied, as the Keeper of Secrets toys with them before finally ripping them to pieces. Indeed, such is the glamour of the daemon that few mortals have even the will to raise a blade to them in defense. Even a mortal in full plate armor is nothing to this creature, for it's pincers flense through metal as if it were wet paper. With exquisite precision can it slice a man apart. Īrmed with catching claws and a pair of deadly pincers, the Keeper of Secret's lithe form belies the damage it can inflict. They push both their followers and their foes to the absolute highs and lows of physical and emotional sensation, sating both their own and their master's desires for these deadly extremes. A Keeper of Secrets delights in the pain and suffering he is aroused by the doom and the torment it visits or finds in others. They are beautiful and disgusting in equal measure, transfixing their prey with their impossibly fluid grace and the aura of sheer domination that emanates from their being. However, most Keepers of Secrets are many-limbed and their eyes shine like polished jewels. It is said that due to this, no two Keepers look alike with some appearing almost humanoid in the face while others appear as beasts or monsters far removed from any humanity. Keepers are perhaps the most physically varied of the daemons, each formed from Slaanesh's own hand, their forms reflecting his muse, his mood, and his interest, all things that are very changeable. ![]() Portrait of an Exalted Keeper of Secrets. ~ Liber Chaotica Volume 2 on the Keepers of Secrets He moves with such grace, his actions so measured and sensual, yet he is deadly indeed! See him there! Many-limbed and jeweled eyed. Those who survive the daemon's coming weep, for never again will they come so close to perfection. The painter paints with his own blood, the singer claws at her imperfect throat and chokes on her own melody, emotions run hot and entire communities are consumed by debauchery of the darkest kind. However, a Slayer of Slaanesh is a beast of excess just as much as any of his sisters and as he comes closer, artistic mastery becomes outright madness. What they create is far beyond their skill, the mediocre fashioning masterpieces in the midst of the Keeper's aura. Those given to the creative arts are particularly affected, taken by sudden bursts of skill and inspiration. An unclean trembling takes to the air, affecting everything and everyone. Animals agitate, the earth itself spews forth sweet water from deep beneath the soil, trees creak and wood warps. When they emerge into the material world, it heaves and expulses at their coming. Distinct from the Lesser Daemons of Slaanesh, who only occasionally partake in death-dealing and are much more given to a wide range of artistic expressions and sensation, the Keeper of Secrets is specifically formed and deployed for violence. They are so named for their purported ability to hear anything said anywhere, thus making them the Keepers of Secrets. Slaanesh is subtle, as are his creations, but when all other avenues to achieving a desired goal have failed and bloodshed remains the only option, it is these grotesque beasts that the Dark Prince sends to do his bidding. Unlike bloody-minded Kharneth, it is not the way of the Prince of Pleasure to resort first to violence.
