Skalrag

A wily, conniving, haughty fox, Skalrag was an aide and captain to Badrang the Tyrant in Fort Marshank. Among his duties was to report the goings-on of the fortress regularly to Badrang. To do this, he had a spy among the slaves, Druwp the vole. Druwp reported regularly to Skalrag, and was rewarded with food and drink. Skalrag was often taken by surprise at how much Druwp knew. Skalrag was also one of the cruel slavedrivers. Once he was paid back for his cruelty, when the squirrel slave Felldoh ripped off half of his ear with a thrown stone. Felldoh was taken to the prison pit of Marshank for his insolence. During one of Tramun Clogg's attacks on Marshank, Skalrag was ordered to take a small complement of archers out to the bay and to burn Clogg's galley, the Seascarab. He was successful, but also unfortunate enough to meet Martin the Warrior and Felldoh, two slaves who had just escaped from the fort. They half-throttled him and then left him to the mercy of Clogg's corsairs. As a prisoner, Skalrag promised Clogg that he would spy on Badrang in return for his life. Satisfied, Clogg returned Skalrag inside, but Skalrag was executed on the suspicious Badrang's orders.
