Skraank

Ogryn tend to be viewed as brutal and unsubtle beings, but few of those appellations apply to Skraank's people. His tribe is one of many that lurks in the caverns beneath the Dawnmounts, their number wiry, lean, hunched, and more at home in dark, dank tunnels and deep crevasses than on the rugged plains or steep slopes that many other Ogryn call home. Skraank himself has bat-like ears capable of detecting the smallest vibrations, and eyes that can pick out details in near-total darkness but are blinded by sunlight, necessitating the use of protective metal disks with thin slits that he wears whenever he ventures above ground. From a young age, Skraank discovered he was superior to others in his tribe when it came to planning and cunning rather than brute force. He mastered the roles of thief, spy, and assassin, eventually leaving the underground to offer his deadly services to others. Armed with two short swords named Gizzard-Gouger and Gut-Gorer, two long knives taken from a Kaerok knight, a crossbow liberated from a Dwarf ship, and an assortment of throwing daggers, Skraank excels at sowing havoc through disruption and sabotage. One notable assignment saw him convincing Banner Lord Sir Delane's rival that powerful Orc raiders had attacked his territory. Another had him conducting repeated nighttime assaults on Aravian colonizer sentries and setting fires, leaving them disorganized and unprepared for the main Ogryn attack. Skraank keeps a tally of successful assignments scraped into the scraps of armor he wears. The notches are starting to take up all available space, but Skraank has no intention of stopping — not while his fiendish addiction to creating havoc and destruction remains unsatiated.
