Clan Pestilens

"If any is to command here, it should be me. To Clan Pestilens will go the honour of overthrowing the man-city. We have great plans! Great Plans! It is our secret weapon that will destroy the human city!"

- Vilebroth Null, representative of Clan Pestilen during the Invasion of Nuln



Clan Pestilen is one of the four great Skaven clans that are feared throughout their domain for the vile diseases and plagues these Skavens have learned and unleashed upon this world. Probably the most feared out of all the Great Clans, these Skavens are feared by their enemies and allies alike, having been the main aggressor and instiagor of both of the two great Skaven Civil Wars that has ravaged much of the Under-Empire for four centuries, and almost overthrowing the Council of Thirteen from their power. Also known as Plague Monks, the disciples of disease and decay, these Skavens have dedicated an unhealthy fervor to spread pestilence and corruption in the name of the Horned Rat to all those they see fit, even their own brethren.

These foul warriors are not only recognizable by their characteristic appearances and looks, but also by the terrible stench and diseases that accompanies them, as the Clans doctinre belives that in order to truely obey the Horned Rats wishes, they must be the very embodiedment of their God's title as the Harbinger of Disease. Unlike their brother clans, Clan Pestilen dosen't sell their military service for mere economic gains; but rather to lend their warriors to any cause that they belive will only further thier own objective. Their current leader, Lord Nurglich the VII, Plague-Lord of Clan Pestilen, has ensured a position of power within the Council of Thirteen.
