Arch-Warlock

Arch-Warlock of Clans Skryre

An Arch-Warlock is a powerful member of one of the Clans Skryre.^[1]

The greatest of the clan warlocks who have risen to the top through politics, devastating use of power, sheer cunning and outright assassination are known as Arch-Warlocks. The smaller clans of Skryre may be controlled by a single individual, but the large clans are often led by mastercovens that consist of many Arch-Warlocks. All have incredible technology at their disposal, with lightning projectors and warpstone powered armour being commonplace,^[1d] many are armed with Warpfire Gauntlets, Stormcage Halbards and Piston Claws. ^[1e]
