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 brethren, having been the main aggressor during the two great Skaven Civil war that has ravaged much of the Under-Empire for centuries, and almost overthrowing the Council of Thirteen itself. Also known as Plague Monks, the disciples of disease and decay, they 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 chants, but also by the terrible stench and diseases that accompanies them, as the doctrine of the Clan indicates that to spread the disease to the enemy, one should also suffer it in their own flesh. Strangely, far from weakening and dying, these infected Skavens are actually quite stronger than the average Skaven, as the very disease they have only toughens these creatures into something, un-skaven. During battle, these fervent Plague Monks charged into battle without hesitation, eager to unleash their rabid hatred upon their hated enemy. sell their military services by mere economic advantage; instead lend his warriors to any cause they believe can serve its objectives. Often traded partnerships or promises of cooperation with clan warlords who are desperate for help. In the really big battles, Clan Pestilens diseases can deploy specially created for the occasion, spreading around the world terrible pandemics such as the Black Plague, the Red pox or plague of Bleeding Eyes.
