Shriek alpha

Shriek alphas are deadly shriek combatants encountered on the battlefield. Their ability to use stealth—by sneaking behind enemy lines to cause havoc—have earned them the reputation as the "darkspawn assassin". These alphas live up to their title, as their ambushes have turned the tide of battle many times.
== Background ==
The shriek alpha emerged about the same time as their lesser kin, the shriek, although they are more intelligent, and therefore possess more power and influence over the regular shrieks. During a Blight, they lead their kin into battle, preferring ambush over a straight attack. Needless to say, they are utterly loyal to the Archdemon, and can prove frightening on the battlefield. Shrieks are actually called "sharlocks", but they are known as shrieks due to their ear piercing scream in combat.
Unlike other alphas, the shriek alpha will charge in with the rest of them, preferring straight combat to a safe distance.

* Shrieks actually cannot perform the cast animation of Mark of Death. The ability will never go off, causing them to attempt to use the ability multiple times in quick succession.
