Kalig

Kalig is a character in the Heretic Kingdoms setting. He is one of three possible starting Puppets in Shadows: Heretic Kingdoms and its remake/sequel Shadows: Awakening.

## Background

*Bandit King and leader of the Guild of Steel in Thole, until his son (Nemek) - in league with the demonic Penta Nera - lured him into a deadly ambush and had him killed. A man of few words with a taste for vengeance and very large weaponry.*

*Dead for a year (as of Shadows.* - Shadows: Awakening Sanctuary text

*Kalig, they called him the Bandit King. A warrior and a mercenary, he led the Guild of Steel in Thole. Sadly for Kalig, he trusted his own son a little more than he could afford... Some called him a barbarian, but few lived who did so!* - Artbook description

## Shadows

Having learned of Nemek's plot to seize control of the Guild of Steel, Krenze began fortifying Kalig with essence. This allowed his soul to maintain its identity in death, making it a viable Puppet for Urz'Rha.

* "What? Is that it?"
* "Hah! I am the best!"
* "Too easy."

**Running out of time**

* "Out of time..."

**Leveling Up**

* "I keep getting stronger!"
* "The better I get, the quicker the victory."
* "Power... victory... Glory!"

**Triggering a trap**

* "Ugh!"
* "How did I not see that?"
* "That was careless."

**Destroying an empty urn**

* "It’s a good thing I like smashing stuff for its own sake..."
* "Why make ‘em if you’re not going to store stuff in ‘em!"
* "Worth it just for the breaking noise."

**Learning a new skill**

* "Ha ha ha! Now they’re really in for it!"
* "Let’s take it up a notch!"
* "This is more like it!"

**Idle for one minute**
