Skraank Champion Lore

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 was born with even more heightened abilities than those common to his kind, his long, bat-like ears allowing him to detect the presence of individuals from the vibrations they cause in the air. Conversely, while his large eyes allow him to see perfectly in the dark, even mild sunlight leaves Skraank blinded. When traveling above ground, he therefore adopts metal disks with slender slits that keep out the worst of the glare.

From a young age, Skraank realized how different he and his people were from many other Ogryn tribes. He found he was quicker, more cunning, and could achieve far more by planning and stealth than others could with brute force. He delighted in pulling practical jokes, stealing, and generally sowing chaos. As he grew, the roles of thief, spy, and assassin came naturally to him and, not content with remaining forever beneath the Dawnmounts like so many of his tribe, he chose to walk abroad in the world and hire out his skills to those in need of subtle and deadly solutions to their problems.

Skraank has mastered the art of death in numerous ways, and his weaponry reflects his versatility. He wields two short swords, Gizzard-Gouger and Gut-Gorer, with a speed and skill few other Ogryn – even those from Skraank’s own tribe — are able to match. Should these not be enough, he carries two long knives, former swords belonging to a knight of Kaerok that Skraank slew by driving Gut-Gorer’s slender blade through his helmet’s eye-slit. He also possesses a heavy crossbow, once a defensive fixture onboard a Dwarf treasure ship that Skraank ‘liberated’. An array of short throwing daggers completes his armament, meaning that whether his targets are lightly or heavily armored, or engaging at close or long range, he always has the right tools for the job.

While Skraank is a killer in no uncertain terms, solo assassinations are not where his true talents lie, and nor do they bring him true joy. His greatest love remains sowing havoc through disruption and sabotage. Such are his skills he can trick enemies into believing they are being attacked by far more than just one creature. One Banner Lord named Sir Delane, jealous of the extent of the neighboring noble’s holdings, secretly hired Skraank to raid his rival’s territory. The man was convinced by the destruction Skraank wreaked that a powerful Orc raiding party were striking the area. Delane’s rival surrendered part of his land in exchange for Delane’s military assistance — the ‘Orc raids’ ended soon after.

On another occasion, the Ogryn Gutbrawlers tribe hired Skraank to help defeat a force of Aravian colonizers seeking to expand their holdings in western Peltas. During the night, Skraank mounted repeated, sudden, and violent assaults on the Aravian sentries. This, coupled with one of his favorite disruptive techniques — setting fires amid tents and supply wagons – caused the whole camp to degenerate into chaos, leaving them unprepared when the main Ogryn attack came in the morning.

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.
