==The Deathknights of Crail==
The Deathknights of Crail are the Terrorvortex version of the The Knights Of Crail.
Their veins all flow with Anti-Telharsic power, as they have been corrupted by the knife of evil. Due to this they consider themselves on an eternal quest to spread evil across the galaxy. Their power is equal to, or perhaps even greater than the original Knights Of Crail.
Unlike The Knights of Crail which defended the city of Dunkeld when it was under siege the Deathknights instead choose to attack it, brutally slaughtering warriors of justice and innocent civilians alike. They are among the first characters Angus sees when he arrives beyond the Terrorvortex.
=== Grandmaster of Death and Decay ===
The Proletius of the terrorvortex universe was stabbed by the Knife of Evil and turned into the Grandmaster of Death and Decay. He is considered the mightiest scion of evil. Corrupted by darkness he slaughters indiscriminately, Anti-Telharsic pulsing through his veins and forcing him to act against his true nature.
He obeys orders only from Zargothrax, slaughtering when told to. Like all other Deathknights, Proletius is on an eternal quest to kill all that would oppose the forces of evil.
