Deathmaster Snikch

The Skaven's most devious mastermind

Of all the Clan Eshin assassins thought to be scattered across the Skaven’s subterranean strongholds and within the cities of the surface-dwellers, the one known as Deathmaster Snikch is truly a most dreaded figure of speculation. His deeds and whereabouts are the stuff of rumours that echo throughout the Under-Empire, suiting his master Lord Sneek, the Grand Nightlord of Clan Eshin and member of the Lords of Decay – because as long as no-one knows Snikch’s real location, then no-one can ever feel truly safe. Once deployed, Deathmaster Snikch does not fail, and it is all but impossible for anyone to divine his presence. Snikch is likely the mastermind behind many of the ratmen’s most devious acts of sabotage; great fires, heinous bombings, the failure of war machines on the eve of tide-turning battles – who knows how many of the world’s pivotal disasters were really the work of the Deathmaster?
