Similar to the Dark Elf one really.
Tyrion, Defender Of Ulthuan
Prince Tyrion is the greatest living warrior of the High Elves. He is a descendant of the first Phoenix King, and some elven bards say that he is in fact Aenarion reborn, so valiant and skilled is he. Tyrion was Commander at the glorius battle of Finuval Plain, where he routed the host of Malekith and slew the Witch Kings personal champion Urian Poisonblad. He is the protector of the Everqueen, and defender of all Ulthuan.
Teclis, High Loremaster of the White Tower
Twin to mighty Tyrion, Teclis is wholly the opposite of his brother. Physically he is frail and must sustain himself by imbibing magical potions of his own creation. He is not a master of swordplay nor strategy. However he is the greatest living Mage in this age of the world, and his mastery of the magical arts is unsurpassed by any living creature. It is claimed that his power is on par with the Great Necromancer Nagash, so it is fortunate that Teclis has devoted his life to thwarting the powers of Chaos and death. It was Teclis who first taught Imperial wizards how to control the raging energies of the magical realm, and on his instruction the Colleges of Magic were set up. It was only with the aid of Teclis that Emperor Magnus the Pious was able to push back the forces of Dark Gods in the last great war against Chaos. truly teclis is one of those legendary heros who's actions shape the world.
Imrik, Dragon Prince Of Caledor
Caledor is now a silent realm. No longer do the skies ring to the cries of Dragons and the roars of their fiery breath. No more do the caves rumble with their sounds nor does the earth shake beneath their heavy tread. Instead there is nothing but the hollow echo of the Elves' footsteps in the ancient halls.
Most noble of these Princes of Dragons is Imrik, Last in the line of the Phoenix King Caledor. It is he who remains one of the few who can wake the dragons in time of need, and then only a few. Gone are the days when his followers rode into battle atop mighty Fire Drakes. Now it is imrik alone who fights in the traditional manner of his house.
And fight he does! In the defence of his homeland, and indeed all Ulthuan, Imrik is a stalwart bastion of strength.Together with Tyrion and Teclis, the descendant of the great house of Aenarion, he stands as an unbreachable wall against the many foes of the High Elves and the mystical Isle of Ulthuan.
Eltharion the Grim, Warden of Tor Yvresse (http://oz.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/highelves/gaming/specialcharacters/eltharion.htm)
Eltharion the Grim is the Warden of the City of Tor Yvresse. He dwells in a high tower overlooking the ancient metropolis and can be seen flying high above it on his ferocious and loyal War Griffon, Stormwing.
Eltharion the Grim is amongst the most famous of High Elf heroes. He is the only general who has led a successful raid against Naggarond itself and returned to tell the tale. During that raid he was mortally wounded by a poisoned blade of a Witch Elf, but an apparition of his dead father roused him to seek revenge and save Yvresse from destruction. Such was the power of Eltharion’s will that he returned from death’s door to exact his vengeance on the Goblins that had murdered his family and destroyed his ancestral lands. He fought and defeated the Goblin horde of Grom the Paunch inside the very gates of Tor Yvresse. When the previous Warden of the city was killed in a magical duel with a Goblin Shaman, Eltharion was chosen as the new Warden. Many years later he was defeated in single combat by the Witch King himself while defending the ancient city of Anlec from a Dark Elf incursion. The evil Malekith had him blinded and tortured, and then sent back to the Phoenix King as a living example of his cruelty. Now Eltharion is recovering in the care of Belannaer in the holy Tower of Hoeth, where he is training hard in the ways of the Swordmasters. His skill and strength are returning rapidly and he will soon be ready to embark on a bitter quest for revenge, which will lead him once again to face the dreaded ruler of Naggaroth. The profile given here represents Eltharion before his defeat at the hands of Malekith.
Eltharion the Grim, The Blade Reforged (http://uk.games-workshop.com/highelves/special-characters/6/)
When Malekith once again attacked Ulthuan, Eltharion, Warden of Tor Yvresse, was eager for battle. Mounted on Stormwing, he flew to Anlec, where Malekith's force had massed. He knew the Witch King would seek to claim his old throne in the ruined palace, and instead of leading the army in defence of the realm, Eltharion waited inside the ruins. The High Elf force was destroyed and when Eltharion confronted Malekith, the Witch King turned his dark powers on the impetuous Elf, wracking Eltharion with magic. The Witch King tried to force Eltharion to swear loyalty to him by threatening the survivors of the High Elf force. Eltharion refused and Malekith's Executioners beheaded the High Elves who had survived the battle outside the palace. The broken body of the Warden of Yvresse was returned to Ulthuan, blinded and barely alive. Belannaer tended to his wounds and Eltharion soon recovered, but his mental scars ran deep. Belannaer instructed Eltharion in the ways of the Swordmasters and the skilled Elf learned exceptionally quickly, soon becoming a match for the Master himself. Belannaer gave Eltharion command of the Swordmasters, a task that Eltharion relished.
Once again he met the Witch King, as Malekith's invasion broke through the Dragon Gate and into the Inner Kingdom. The Swordmasters had been ordered to aid the Handmaidens in their duty as guards to the Everqueen. When her forests came under threat, the Swordmasters rushed to the Everqueen's aid, and in the ensuing battle he wounded the Witch King. It was a feat that no mortal had ever achieved, but now Eltharion seeks to destroy Malekith and has taken the fight to Naggaroth. Even the calm words of Belannaer cannot stay his desire, and the Phoenix King has granted this special request. Belannaer holds on to a fragile hope that Eltharion will overcome the bitterness that burns within his heart, but also knows this is a war his pupil must fight on his own.
Alarielle, Everqueen of Avelorn (http://oz.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/highelves/gaming/specialcharacters/everqueen.htm)
Ulthuan is co-ruled by the Everqueen, the chosen representative of Isha - the Elven goddess of earth, plants and forests. Alarielle is the name of the ruling Everqueen, and she is said to be the most beautiful to have borne the favour of Isha since the far off days of Astarielle. Where the Everqueen walks, the fields start to blossom and flowers spring forth from the ground. The white birds of Avelorn come to rest on her hand, and her silvery laughter rings throughout the blessed glades of the Gaen valley. Her flowing hair is like a golden cloud, and it is said that so great is her beauty that it can move even the immortal gods. Her power is that of nature itself, so when she mourns the skies weep with her, and when her eyes darken thunder roars across the Gaen valley.
Korhill, Hunter Captain of the White Lions (http://oz.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/highelves/gaming/specialcharacters/korhil.htm)
When the Captain of the White Lions met his death at the hands of the Dark Elf Assassin, Urian Poisonblade, the bodyguard of the Phoenix King gathered to select a new leader from amongst their ranks. Their choice, approved and blessed by the Phoenix King, was the warrior Korhil.
It was Korhil who hunted and caught the great lion Charandis. This lion was a particularly dangerous, massive and ferocious creature mutated by the warping power of Chaos seeping from the magic-riven Annulii mountains. Though the great lion had slain many warriors, and countless innocent Elves besides, Korhil bravely wrestled the beast and slew it with his bare hands. His first taste of battle came soon afterwards. A Dark Elf reaver band ran riot in Chrace until they came to Korhil’s village where the young Elf slew their leader, Saurios Nightblade, in single combat. This was reckoned a great feat of arms, for Saurios was a master swordsman schooled by the Assassins of Naggaroth, whilst Korhil was still but a young lad.
The White Lions claim Korhil to be the strongest Elf in all Ulthuan, which may well be true, for he is without doubt amongst the tallest of all his kindred. Even so, he is no lumbering giant, but wields his long axe with a dexterity and grace that makes even his fellow White Lions appear cumbersome. His honest demeanour and noble bearing have won him many friends amongst the Lords of Ulthuan and other races besides.
