ANGS OF KRATAS

The following characters appear in the Gangs

of Kratas chapter of the Kratas: The City

of Thieves sourcebook.

GARLTHIK ONE-EYE

Garlthik maintains a very careful balancing act between

his life as a Master Thief, and his role as Magistrate of Kratas.

As a Thief, he believes in freedom and cynical self-interest, yet

as magistrate he must enforce order and subjugate other peo-

ples’ interests to his own, limiting their freedom.

He negotiates this contradiction in a few ways. First, he

only enforces the bare minimum of law that is necessary to

keep the city from falling apart, such as not bothering the

farmers. Second, his continual ight against slavery, Vistrosh,

and the Therans is in the service of greater freedom.

Finally, Garlthik justiies all of his efforts to improve Kratas

and protect its residents, at least those loyal to him, as being

a ploy to protect himself. As a young Thief he would not allow

himself to get tied down to any one place, person, or posses-

sion. Now in his old age he tells himself that he only stays

in Kratas as long as it is in his interest to do so. Despite the

hundreds of loyal followers, his great hordes of treasure, and

the years spent protecting his city, he would leave it all in an

instant if it became a burden. At least, that’s what he tells him-

self. Believing any differently might bring on a talent crisis.

Garlthik now seems to show every one of his hundred-or-so

years. His greenish-gray skin is faded and wrinkled like old

parchment. He lost one of his tusks somewhere along the way,

so only one yellowed fang sticks out of his mouth, giving him

a lop-sided smile. His once-imposing frame is now shriveled

and small, and his long hair has turned white. However, his

appearance of febricity has not seemed to diminish his talents

or his keen intelligence, as more than one would-be challenger

to his rule has discovered to their dismay. This has only con-

tributed to the rumors that his survival is because of some

arcane magic.

Garlthik One-Eye is a Fifteenth Circle ork Thief.

TERRICIA

Terricia is the Supreme Slasher of the Force of the Eye, respon-

sible for eliminating any threats to Garlthik’s rule, whether inside

or outside of the gang. She is a ruthless assassin, and is quite

proicient in the use of poisons and other forms of silent kill-

ing. As the most trusted of Garlthik’s followers, she is generally

assumed to be his chosen successor in the case of his death. That

he has made her his heir apparent is surely a sign of Garlthik’s

great trust in her and faith in her loyalty, that she would not be

tempted to hasten his departure from this world. Her loyalty is

sincere and profound, as Garlthik saved her life many years ago.

She is also almost as devoted as Garlthik to the city of Kratas

and Garlthik’s ideal of keeping it free from outside control, espe-

cially the Therans.

Terricia has black and gray wings, and wears leathers the color

of night. She wears her pale hair short and spiky and has many

tattoos and scars decorating her body. She looks older than most

windlings, perhaps hinting at a hard life in her youth, for win-

dlings’ appearances do not usually age once they reach maturity.

She has an odd quirk of threatening to kill people around her

as a joke. While this can be unsettling to the uninitiated, those

who know her well know to take this as a joke. When she actu-

ally intends to kill someone, she would not be so kind as to give

her target the beneit of a warning.

Terricia is a Ninth Circle windling Thief.
