Lore:

Risqruel Drath, spent his early years among the trees of the Great Lowlands’ Endless Valley. He was renowned for his swift hands and an insatiable appetite for luxurious treats and shiny trinkets, and his adventures were the stuff of legend—well, at least in his own mind. They often involved liberating the choicest nuts and baubles from wealthy forest dwellers, which he rationalized as “redistributing excessive wealth” to himself. Risqruel’s curiosity and wandering paws landed him in a whole heap of trouble the night he tried to steal a powerful fey rune etched into the bark of a sacred tree by the brownie sorcerer, Mossog. believing it to be a treasure map to the greatest cache of nuts ever hoarded away, Risqruel snuck past the dozing brownie and attempted to liberate the rune. But it activated, and its fey magic surged into Risqruel, awakening within him an intellect and magical prowess that were beyond those of a mere squirrel. Unfortunately, it also awakened Mossog, who attempted to strip the Risqruel of the rune’s powers—a process that involved the loss of a great deal of blood and the removal of entrails. Preferring to keep his entrails inside of him, thank you very much, Risqruel fled into the rainforest. However, with his newfound intelligence came an awareness that life amounted to more than collecting nuts and trinkets. And with the legions of Chaos destroying his beloved forest by the hectares in their hunt for rebels, he found a new purpose. Risqruel began conducting raids on the empire’s patrols and outposts using his spells, claws, and teeth. And when he spotted a lone battle mage who used magic cards to protect the Kha’zi and spoke of rising up and breaking the chains of tyranny, Risqruel’s ears perked and whiskered twitch. At last, he’d found someone with the audacity to make a difference. And so Risqruel Drath surreptitiously follows the battle mage out of the rainforest and into the Wastes of the East. He watches his unwitting companion from a distance as they make for New Sskah City. And he waits for his chance to strike a mortal wound against the heart of the Chaos Empire.
