Their impossible acrobatics are such that no blade can strike them, nor bolt or blast find its mark upon their flesh. Solitaires are incredible warriors, able to move faster than the naked eye can follow. Should one of the dreaded Solitaires deign to join a battle, they can slaughter entire enemy regiments in impossible displays of martial prowess. Since the Fall, a place has traditionally been reserved in a masque's structure should a Solitaire lend their considerable abilities to a cause, but they are otherwise unchanged, centred around three distinct Troupes: the Light, the Dark, and the Twilight. The organisational structure of a masque hails from the ancient days of the lost Aeldari Empire, when the Laughing God Cegorach's devotees were theatrical performers first and foremost. These solitary Harlequins represent the monstrous pride that led the competing heroes on their dangerous quest an aspect of Slaanesh herself.

Like all Harlequins the Solitaire wears a Holo-Suit during performances and in battle. Indeed, a Solitaire's role is afforded the utmost fear and respect by other Aeldari of any faction, for only the bravest, strongest and most incorruptible of their race could play the part of their greatest nemesis and remain sane.

The Solitaires, as their name implies, are solitary individuals who roam the Webway, only joining a Harlequin masque for a battle or performance when the fancy takes them. Called Arebennian in the Aeldari Lexicon, they are doom incarnate, for they play the part of She Who Thirsts in the Dance Without End, and once their path is chosen no one can stay their hand. Solitaires are the strangest and most dangerous of all the Aeldari Harlequins. A Harlequin Solitaire leaps into the fray against Chaos Space Marines.
