Beliefs

  1. The Shattered Spear must have a chief! I will Name the one who proves himself worthy of the rank.
  2. The Troll Lord suspects that it was I who betrayed the warband, and such perception could serve us well; I will set him and the Head-Taker against each other and find out who is stronger.
  3. The rout of our army has destroyed the ranks of the Servants; I should choose one among us to induct into the mysteries.

Instincts

  1. Always keep a caged crow for a quick sacrifice.
  2. Always keep my ritual knives close at hand.
  3. When threatened, whip out the Starlight.

Bio

Of all the characters, only the Servant has a secret; her dark deities granted her a vision while she slept – the warband would be utterly destroyed if Bloodspitter remained chief. It was the Servant who crept into the Mannish camp in the guise of a black wolf and treated with Commander Haldane of the army of Men, telling him of the warband’s location and disposition. When Haldane came upon the Shattered Spear, it was a slaughter. Her gambit worked, though, and the Whisperer blamed Bloodspitter and murdered him in his sleep.

Who the new Chief should be, the gods do not say. It is the Servant’s responsibility to grant the worthy Orc a Name, so that the others will follow him. Gods be willing, he will be a stronger leader than the last one.
