Having said that there.....

In the book Chaos Child (even though this evidence to the contrary is fluff)
I am pretty sure that the Eldar Jaq Draco and Co captured a solitare...

He did appear to be the leader of the Harlequins that were on that planet.

So I dunno, I think that he _is_ the Harlequin NCO / CO as such....

Anyone like to confirm / deny that which my memory serves....
Or traitors....
