Skreet Verminkin is a Skaven Warlord who has risen to command his vile army through a mixture of devious cunning and ruthless savagery. Skreet craves power and all that have stood in his way have come to a nasty, usually painful, end. Having secured his rank and status, Skreet now holds it by making sure that his underlings fear him more than any foe. Those upstarts that Skreet thinks may one day grow bold enough to challenge his rule soon find themselves ordered to carry out suicidally dangerous tasks, or else they mysteriously disappear, never to be heard from again.[1a]
