Skaven - Thanquol and Boneripper

Jul 18, 2024 2:50 PM

"Madness! MADNESS! Can it be possible that you don't remember me? Can it be possible that you have masterminded my failure-fall by mistake? Did you not destroy my works in the Nuln warren, oh those many years gone by? Kill-killing my plague priest, burn-smash my gutter runners and my engineers, killing even my first gift of Moulder?... Did you not follow me north, foiling my every attempt to capture the earth diggers flying machine? Did you not twist-taint my servant-slave and turn him against me when you flew to the Waste? Did you not rip-take the machine from me when my magic had it in its grips? Impossible! Impossible that you don't know me! Impossible that all is by chance! My whole life! My whole LIFE!"

Grey Seer Thanquol, confronting Gortek and Felix after two long decades, only to find out they don't even know who he is.

Thanquol is arguably one of the greatest and most infamous Grey Seers the Skaven Under-Empire has ever known. He is a particularly favoured agent of the Council of Thirteen and the arch-nemesis of Gotrek and Felix. Over missions beyond counting Thanquol has commanded armies, sought information or artefacts, supported furtive Clan Eshin activities, and attempted to fan insurrection amongst the enemies of the Skaven race. Ambitious and self-serving, even by Skaven standards, Thanquol misses no opportunity to use his scheming guile to improve his own personal standing wherever he goes. He is a master at manipulating or "misunderstanding" orders to his own personal advantage, turning rivals and allies alike against each other whilst Thanquol reap the rewards all for himself.

One more before I really tackle the Skaventide box. Thank you as always for taking a look! I think my favorite part of Thanquol is he's one of the rare survivors of the Old World and did so through Palpatine logic, "somehow he survived" likely by out-crazying the chaos gods.
