I’ve heard a bit of a darker reason for a Solitair’s exisitence. I’m relatively sure it’s from old fluff, but very cool. One of the first trials an Eldar will been faced with in his becoming a Harliquinn is to expose his soul to Slaneesh and survive, without it being consumed. Many are, and once their soul is eaten by the Prince their body dies. The ones whom pass become the Players and Harliquin members. However, a very small minority of Eldar expose their souls; it is consumed by Slannesh, yet their body remains. It is these haunting figures, already dead basically, that play the role of Slaneesh in the Act’s of the Fall. Pretty fitting role I guess, since their soul is already eaten by her.
