Soulblight Gravelords – Kritza, the Rat Prince
6" 5 5+ 2 Even in life, the aristocratic Kritza was often compared to Ulfenkarn’s many rodents – and not solely for his pinched features. He spent exorbitant amounts on rich Nulahmian fragrances, and no luxury was sweeter than that acquired by wheedling into another’s confidence before betraying them for personal gain. When the Wolf took power, Kritza thought to play the double agent, currying favour with Radukar while acquiring information with which to ingratiate himself to his would-be liberators. Radukar was not fooled and savaged Kritza to the brink of oblivion. Kritza fled to the sewers, supping the brackish blood of rodents in order to survive. He soon discovered to his horror that the Vyrkos curse had been imparted unto him in distinctly verminous fashion.
The Rat Prince was born. For years, Kritza dwelt in Ulfenkarn’s sewers, emerging only when he was sure that Radukar would not finish him off. Hiding his sewer stench behind a thick cloud of equally nauseating perfume, Kritza preys upon mortals without restraint. His victims are overrun by rats or sliced to ribbons by the Rat Prince’s vicious gnawblade, and whenever Kritza feels outmatched, he will simply transform into a swarm of vermin and slip away through cracks in the walls. | ||

THE VERMINOUS COURT: Kritza believes himself an appreciator of the finer things in undeath, and his rodent servants are adept in snatching away trinkets and treasures for his collection.
