Karthus

right|300pxKAHR•thuhs – Common: the name of a wolf-like creature native to the crag-lands of Udlao’sone. It is unclear whether this name was given to him by his parents do to his appearance or assumed at a later date from his temperament.
Originally Nerith Karthus, a mercenary from the Udlao'sone provinces, he was hired during a skirmish between rival bandit clans both terrorizing the rocky crag-lands. Karthus was originally hired to help defeat the opposing clan, and did well for his fees. After his employers won the cause, they kept Karthus on for his wolfish ferocity in battle and lack of qualms for the bandit's lifestyle. He won a fair amount of loot and booty among their ranks, and when the head decided to stop paying him – claiming that he had been earning far more than he was paid on his own amongst their ranks - Karthus killed him and took command. He went on to conquer the other unruly clusters in the Udlao'sone province and won the position of Bandit Lord. Karthus rules his Clan by the Viper’s Tongue Code, allowing his victims to be horribly tortured or maimed so long as they are not killed. Their Clan’s efficacy lies mostly in rape or abuse to encourage ransom payments.
