- Homeworld – Voidborn
- Origin – Eldari
- Archetype – operational
Rogue traders are a rare breed of people in the Empire. Their role was to be the vanguard during the Great Crusade, discovering new strongholds of humanity and the first point of contact. In this role, they are given special allowances that few in the Imperium have. This includes working with xenos.
Yrliet is an Aeldari sharpshooter that the player meets on Janus, one of the independent worlds. As a companion, she is ideal for defending the defense line, taking out enemies that no other companion can reach. Yrliet's unique ability, in my sights, can be very useful when an enemy absolutely needs to hit.
9 Jae Heydari
Black market trader Xenos Tech
- Homeworld – Imperial World
- Origin – Cold Trader
- Archetype – officer
Jae Heidari first met in Footfall and played a rogue-type companion in the game. If equipped with Bring it Down, she can be used much like Cassia! Talent, which gives the ally an extra turn. Combine this with Move Move Move! Talent, which gives an ally extra movement points, is an important part of combat strategy.

When the player first encounters Olfar, the Fury in Chains during the mission, he is held captive by Drukhari. It is up to the player to release him or not.
As a companion, Olfar works well as a line defense, much like Argenta's sister, and can work well as a duo with Cassia or Yrliet. At this point in the game, most players will put a battle sister in the party, unless they want a space marine in the party.
