The Rat King
"The Rat King? He knows the city better than anyone. That man knows every tunnel and sewer drain, every hidden entrance, every cellar door. I reckon he even knows the tunnels the mountain itself carved long ago before man first set foot upon this rock. He's been here as long as I can remember, and longer. I imagine he's more a part of of this city than any building. Hell, even than the prince himself. He might as well be a part of this old rock itself." - Gang leader in the The Strand.The Rat King is an enigma of sorts. He appears here and there throughout the city, seemingly of his own accord. He is thought to encompass a whole slew of bizarre abilities, including the power to turn into a swarm of rats at will, and to move almost instantaneously through sewer passageways and entrances. How he gained these powers is unknown, though whispers say perhaps he gained them through dark dealings. Others tell stories about him becoming one with the "undercity", as it were, and being gifted the powers by the city itself. In any case, he's thought by most to be a fable, an urban myth, or even a bogeyman at this point.
