A cold and calculating leader, Kyre exudes an air of power and authority wherever he goes. Tall for an Aeldari, Kyre stands over two metres in height and is never without his trademark armour covered in a scale pattern representative of the Kabal’s name. The hilt of his custom venomblade resembles a serpent with his mouth open, another nod to the Kabal. Kyre chose the serpent as his Kabal’s namesake due to their stealthy and deadly nature, a fact he studied closely on the death world of Guleam. As a young, up-and-coming Dracon, Kyre found himself stranded on the death world with his fellow soldiers. The giant serpents that called the world home were able to strike without warning, slaughtering most of his warriors within a day. Only by utilising his cunning and skills did he survive, claiming the skull of one of the giant beasts for his own personal totem. After returning to Commorragh, he quickly rose through the ranks of his Kabal, and within a year he had assassinated the previous Archon, assuming command with the help of the Haemonculus Dross. Anyone loyal to the former lord was dispatched in one night of blood and terror, and the Kabal of the Crimson Serpent was born.

Kyre’s reputation amongst his fellow Archons in Commorragh was that of a madman, intent on pushing the boundaries further than any other. He commonly travelled across Askellian space to areas rife with Warp Storms and other Chaos incursions to confront the servants of Slaanesh head on, staring eternal devastation in the face. His history of daring raids on the most dangerous locales earned him a great deal of followers who were intent on pushing themselves to the outermost edge. In time, the other lords of Commorragh feared his exploits would bring ruin upon their city and moved to destroy him. When word of this reached Kyre, the cunning tactician simply moved his Kabal to a pocket realm outside of the city and focused his attention on new ventures.
