The title of Nurglitch is given to all Skaven whom have taken up the mantle of the leader of Clan Pestilens. In reverence for Nurglitch I, the first of his name who led Clan Pestilens to their glorified position as one of the Under-Empire's Great Clans, all who take up the position are required to take his name as well, in descending order from the first Nurglitch all the way down to the current holder of the title.

The current Nurglitch of Clan Pestilens is Arch-Plaguelord Nurglitch VII.

Notable Holders of the Title[]

  • Nurglitch I - The very first of the pestilential Plaguelords, Nurgtich I rode atop a Great Pox Rat and bore a Plague Censer into battle. Such was his love of decay, he was in a constant state of frenzy and all who beheld him were inspired to the same madness.
  • Nurglitch IV - Nurglitch IV was the arch-plaguelord of Clan Pestilens during the era of the Black Death and the Skaven Wars starting in 1111 IC, Nurglitch ruled Clan Pestilens during a brief period where it had an iron grip on the Council of Thirteen. However, through the schemes of Seer Lord Queekual, this good fortune was not to last. Nurglitch was conveniently absent the day the Black Death ravaged Skavenblight itself, having holed up in the distant Pestilens fortress of Blisterdeep.
  • Nurglitch VII - The current Arch-Plaguelord and rival of Kritislik. Like his precedessors, Nurglitch tried many a scheme in order to take control of the Council of Thirteen.
