Queek Headtaker

Queek's personality can be associated to that of a powder-keg; unpredictable and dangerous. It is said that Queek can not be bribed, that he didn’t care for threats and that he led armies fearlessly from the front. Unnaturally fearless and bloodthirsty with an over-flatted ego to match, Queek considers himself the greatest Warlord to have ever lived, as any self-respecting Skaven should. Unlike many other Skaven Warlords before him, Queek has been known to back-up these claims as willingly as he is to boast about them, as shown with the many heads that now decorate his trophy rack. Queek has shown an unnatural interest in both finding and fighting the strongest enemy he can find. From massive Black Orcs to Dwarf Thanes and rival Skaven Warlords, Queek has fought and defeated each and every one of them.

Queek had also earned himself a reputation for madness, having a disturbing affection for his collection of severed heads he keeps upon his trophy rack. Upon his trophy rack consists of the heads of all those that have challenged Queek in the past, such as the head of King Krug Ironhand of Karak Drazh, Warlord Ikit Scratch of Fester Spike, Warlord Sleek Sharpwit of Clan Mors and the hands of Baron Albrecht Kraus of Averland amongst other noteworthy challengers. Those that would dare to touch his prized possessions have had their wrist cut off by Queek personally. At times, Queek has been seen talking to these heads when nobody else is looking, and at times even when they are, as if the skulls themselves still retain the souls of those he decapitated in ritual combat, giving the Warlord advice on how best to destroy his enemies.

Although Queek is a magnificent warrior, the Warlord hasn't been readily known for his cunning, if he has any at all. Queek is as thick as he is bloodthirsty, preferring a daring frontal assault rather then to use wiser and more efficient means of attacks. In comparison to other Skaven, Queek dislikes scheming and intrigue of any kind, which is one of the great reasons why the Warlord has a great distrust of the politically-minded Grey Seers. Even Lord Gnawdwell has expressed his disappointment to Queek's rather inept intellect for things other then fighting, often remarking the Warlord as a dangerous yet blunt instrument.

Queek, like many Skaven before him, was born unto this world within the many Breeding Pits owned by the burly warriors of Clan Mors. Queek's litter was born large and black-furred, a sign that these Skavens shall grow up to be true killers within the violent and unstable society of their Clan. Queek was by-far the largest of his lot, and in time, he eventually devoured his own brothers even before he opened his eyes or fully grew out his fur. Seeing great potential within Queek, Warlord Gnawdwell personally took Queek under his wing and trained him extensively to be his new protegee.

Queek has been groomed by Gnawdwell from the moment of his birth to be the ultimate warrior, provided with the best armour and weapons, protecting him from the other Lords of Decay, and also staging assassination attempts to keep him on his toes. Queek is an uncommonly bloodthirsty and egotistical warrior whose need to conquer even the most impossible challenges has since earned him an infamy amongst the annals of Skaven history as the legendary Headtaker, the Dwarf-Smiter, the greatest Warlord to have ever graced the tunnels of Skavendom.
