Vrrmik

Grand Warlord Vrrmik was the representative of Clan Mors during the time of the Black Plague and would later become the Grand Supreme Warlord of all Skavendom over the last period of the Skaven Wars. An especially large specimen, Vrrmik was also an albino.

Vrrmik held great envy against Vecteek the Murderous, the representative of Clan Rictus and holder of the Twelfth Throne of the Council of Thirteen. ^[1a] During the invasion of Karak Grazhyakh, the dwarf city underneath the Fauschlag of Middenheim, Clan Rictus sent Clan Mors to invade, hoping to weaken their rival while claiming the main share of the glory. Vrrmik instead conspired with Clan Pestilens to secure his own victory. ^[1b] During the assault, the Skaven warlord was able to claim a runic weapon of the dwarfs, the hammer Drakdrazh, and then feigned defeat, which caused the army of Middenheim under Mandred von Zelt to return to the surface, assaulting the army of Vecteek of Clan Rictus from behind. ^[1c] Following the defeat of Vecteek, Vrrmik became the Grand Supreme Warlord of Skavendom. ^[1d]

In his new position, Vrrmik was responsible for waging war against Mandred von Zelt, now renowned as Mandred Skavenslayer. He tried to bait him during the siege of Averheim, but was thwarted. ^[2a] During that battle, Vrrmik lost an ear through Legbiter, the Runefang of Middenland wielded by Mandred. ^[2b] Seeking revenge and finding that most Clans began to desert the cause as a rogue strain of the Black Plague began to infect their own, Vrrmik sought to force a confrontation. In the Howling Hills of Hochland, the armies of the Skaven and the Empire fought for one last time in the Skaven Wars. Mandred smashed Vrrmiks stolen and warpstone-infused weapon with Ghal Maraz and ended the warlords’ life.^[2c]

His skull was fashioned into the Helm of the Skavenslayer, which remained in the Imperial Armoury.
