HISTORY/Bio:
Originally Part of the Thug Life crew…
Ratnick is a wannabee thug master and leader of men. His lack of self esteem and constant paranoia that hes about to die make him difficult to take seriously. Often called the weasle his greasy hair, tall and thin appearance and large protruding eyes gave him a distinctive shifty look
Ratnick feel in with Royan, Kredge, and Aaron in the Crow Alley area of Ados. Royan, the leader, proved weak in Ratnicks eyes and after Ratnick jumping him and getting no support from the others, Royan left the scene.
Ratnick teamed up with Mongo and managed to score enough to get the both of them out of the city, specifically a coin in the possession of one of the alley gangs. They left the city on the run, knowing they could never go back, and trying to get as far away as they could. They kept drifting west and eventually ended up in Dunstrand.
After a few troubles there, they moved on to Karolak where they fell in working for some of the gangs there – even meeting Taer Oshman in the process. Eventually they landed a full time gig as enforcers and protectors for the Order of the Stone Hand and their new guild house in Karolak.
Ratnick was originally a Dungeons and Dragons magic-user character. He was famous for talking with a nasally overbite and ambushing his own party in greed and stupidity. They forgave him, but he tried again and he was killed. He corpse was animated and used as a meat shield by the party and constantly made fun of.
He addressed himself in the third person tone, and demanded to be known as ‘Ratnick the Great’.
This group disbanded after turning on each other in a horrible scene in CY 9142.
Rafe Ryan Rand, Aaron, Ratnick The Great (the first appearance!), and Kredge.
