Profile

Skulga Rime is the boisterous heavy assault specialist of the Riftwyrn Coalition. An enormous barrel-chested Dowutin who looks like a walking tank dressed as a crimelord, he wears red-and-white armor beneath a heavy white-fur trimmed coat. Prominent tusks and a thunderous presence make him impossible to ignore. He leads the Dowutin Stompers with crude joviality and overwhelming force.

Origin and Rise

Skulga rose through raw power and charisma in Dowutin mercenary circles. Known for smashing through fortified positions others deemed impenetrable, he gathered a crew of fellow heavyworlders and outcasts who shared his love of loud combat and bigger payoffs. The Coalition recruited the Dowutin Stompers for their unmatched ability to break enemy lines and demolish strongholds.

Personality and Tactics

Loud, crude, and surprisingly jovial, Skulga loves war stories mostly exaggerated, loud music, and post-raid feasts. He treats his crew like rowdy family. In combat he becomes a volcanic engine of destruction. He leads from the absolute front, smashing openings for his crew to exploit. Decisions are made during raucous moot feasts by majority shout.

Strengths

Weaknesses

• Volcanic Temper: Once provoked, he can become mindless and ignore tactical opportunities.
• Sentimentality: Secretly mourns lost crew members, which can be exploited emotionally.
