QueekвЂ™s temper is infamous amongst both his enemy and allies, having fought, defeated and survived almost every challenge that was thrown against him. Queek is an uncommonly bloodthirsty and egotistical warrior whose need to conquer even the most impossible challenges has since earned him an infamy amongst the annals of Skaven history as the legendaryВ Headtaker, theВ Dwarf-Smiter, the greatest Warlord to have ever graced the tunnels ofВ Skavendom. Queek has been groomed by Gnawdwell from the moment of his birth to be the ultimate warrior, provided with the best armour and weapons, protecting him from the otherВ Lords of Decay, and also staging assassination attempts to keep him on his toes. Warlord Queek Headtaker, is the legendary, and much-feared,В Great Warlord of Clan MorsВ and the personal right-claw ofВ Warlord Gnawdwell, the one and true Grand Ruler ofВ Clan Mors. Players choosing Skaven will be able to select from the following Legendary Lords with which to lead their Grand Campaign. Though no matter how divided their race may be, they are nonetheless unified in a single cause, and that cause is to conquer the surface world and bring about theВ Great Ascendancy, where it is said that the Horned RatвЂ™s children will swarm across the face of the earth and claim all of it as their own. There is simply survival, survival in a turbulent society that only spares those that possess the brute strength, extreme cunning, and the vicious instinct to outmaneuver and kill the opposition, no matter the cost or the body count of either friend or foe.

To every Skaven, there is no such thing as pity, remorse, compassion, or cooperation. Such disunion and ruthless lack of cooperation stems from the SkavenвЂ™s insatiable need to survive, thrive and reign tyrannical over his other brethren. The Skaven race as a whole is extremely divided, often far more divided then perhaps any other race known in existence. Out of all the mortal civilizations within the greater world, no single race, neither the ruthlessВ BarbarianВ tribes of theВ North, nor the savageВ GreenskinsВ can be compared in terms of instability to that of the Skaven Under-Empire. It is believed by all of Skaven-kind that the world is destined to be theirs, for they consider themselves the Supreme Master Race, undeniably superior in every way to all the other races of the World. From deep below the earth, these scavengers have built a vast Empire, whose military power and incomprehensible numbers has the potential to smother the kingdoms of theВ Old WorldВ in a seething tide of violence and anarchy.

The Skavens as a whole are a cruel, treacherous and highly numerous species that have since spread their loathsome corruption to the farthest corners of the Warhammer World.

TheВ Skaven, sometimes known as theВ Ratmen, theВ RatkinВ or theВ Children of the Horned Rat, are a malevolent and diabolical race of large humanoid rat-creatures that inhabits a massive inter-continental underground empire known in their tongue simply as theВ Under-Empire, where at the very heart of Skavendom lies the horrific city ofВ Skavenblight,В the species capital city and the probable birthplace of the Skaven race.
