Sssair Gleamling

Sssair Gleamling (also known as Ssair the Gleamling), is Greater Daemon of Slaanesh, known as a Keeper of Secrets.

History
The origins of the Greater Daemon Sssair Gleamling is not known. But what little information that can be gleaned from various sources is that Sssair Gleamling was once the master of a powerful warband of Chaos Daemons known as the Muderval. The Dark Prince had formed this formidable host comprised of Daemons from all four Chaos Gods in order to to attack the Eldar world of Lohiac in order to obtain souls. Slaanesh ensured the cooperation of the other Ruinous Powers by bargaining gifts and worlds to ensure their compliance. No less than four Eldar Craftworlds banded together to defend the gateway on Lohiac that could gain the Daemons entry into the Webway. The war between the Murderval and the Eldar lasted for many years, until finally, the Daemons closed in on their prize. The gateway was protected by 3 powerful Avatars of Khaine. Using great cunning and guile, Beasts of Nurgle known as the Mouldkin attacked the Avatars enmasse. Distracted by this threat, Sssair Gleamling launched the Murderval into a flanking attack and utterly annihilated the Avatars. With the prize in their grasp, the Daemons were ready to enter the Webway, but their plans were foiled with the arrival of a new threat in the form of a Dark Eldar host lead by a troupe of Harlequins. Mired by the Eldar reinforcement, this allowed the Eldar Seer Council to seal the Webway portal permanently, denying Slaanesh his prize. Sssair had failed his dark patron in achieving his covetous prize and was by the valiant efforts of the Eldar of Lohiac. Leaving his host bloodied and humilated, Sssair's power and influence was left waning. Soon a rival Daemon Prince sought to gain prominence in his stead. A beautiful and cunning Daemon Prince sworn to the Lord of Change, Tzeentch duped the Greater Daemon of Slaanesh into yielding power of the Murderval into his stewartship. He promised Sssair Gleamling that he would return the daemonic host once it had claimed its millionth soul for his patron god Tzeentch. But Ssair had been tricked, and soon found himself imprisoned within the Impossible Fortress, and the leadership of the Murderval under Corflich Loatheheart's control.
