Skullface was a rat soldier in Cluny the Scourge's horde who served as a captain. When the horse carrying the horde's cart stopped moving out of total exhaustion, Cluny needed someone to provide it with motivation. He ordered Skullface to bite the horse. Skullface was afraid the horse would bite him back, and tried to resist, but Cluny scared him into obedience by whipping him with his tail and threatening to kill him.
Skullface reluctantly leapt onto the back of the horse. However, as soon as he landed on the horse, the beast bolted forward at a high pace out of fright. Skullface fell onto the road and was run over by the cart.
