Asurmen

Asurmen was the first Eldar Phoenix Lord. Following the fall of the Eldar, Asurmen founded the first of the Aspect Shrines, the Dire Avengers. He travelled the Craftworlds, teaching those Eldar who wanted to learn. The greatest of his students went on to found their own aspect shrines and become Phoenix Lords themselves.

Asurmen's name means the Hand of Asuryan, and his children were the Asurya. Asur means light in the Eldar language. Following the fall of the Eldar, Asurmen founded the first of the aspect shrines, the "Dire Avengers". His ancient armour has vambraces with integrated shuriken catapults. He carries the first "Diresword", called the "Sword of Asur", which contains the soul of his long-dead brother, Tethesis, who was killed by a daemon.
