Hand Of The Archon ^kt21

The warriors of the Drukhari Kabals lie at the heart of every Drukhari strike force, pirate fleet and slave raider assault. They are the cruelest members of their caste, hungry for power over their fellows and thirsty to taste the suffering of others.

Each warrior will have forged a fearsome reputation for himself in the war-torn halls of High Commorragh, and has proven himself in multiple battles to be a merciless combatant. The more vicious and ruthless a warrior is, the better his chances for advancement within the Kabal.
