The Dice Roll …

Ugly Mike

Ugly Mike quickly braced his crossbow on the guardrail while loadng a frag bolt. Aiming by intuition he fired the bolt just ahead of the entrance the Escher were sneaking out of. Before the frag bolt landed Ugly Mike loaded a smoke bolt and fired it at exactly the same spot as the frag bolt. The Escher that had make it out of the corridor dove for cover while Ugly Mike slung his crossbow over his shoulder and moved to a new position.

Lucius Larch

Lucius has been leading the Call of Aleister for just over a year now. He took over after Reverend Marlowe took a plasma pistol shot to the face that evaporated not only his face but the back of his head also. The Call of Aleister has prospered under Word-Keeper Lucius’ aegis.

Lucius is known for striding into battle with righteous dignity as he clears corridors and rooms of heretics and discontents with his hand flamer Fury. He is even more adept with his two-handed axe Righteous. Watching him swing and twirl Righteous can mesmerize his foes leaving them motionless for a fast fatal swing of Righteous that decapitates them.

Billy the Boy

Billy has been with the Call of Aliester since the beginning. And was in fact a boy when the gang formed. He ran with the gang without being formally accepted as a member at the start and usually ran errands for the members. When his friend and mentor Isaiah was killed during a fight with the Delaque. Billy went on a one-boy hunt until he tracked down, isolated and killed each member of the gang responsible for killing Isaiah.

Cawdor BonePicker

A much older Billy the Boy (the name stuck) still wields his flail and stub gun when heading to a fight. He is absolutely loyal to the Cawdor, the Redemption and to Lucius. In fact he almost always fights at Lucius’ right side. There’s an unspoken bond between them, Billy always knows when some attack is aimed at Lucius’ blindside and Billy always intervenes, protecting Lucius.

Billy’s ability to move through the hive and gather information is very valuable to the Call of Aleister. The skills he used hunting down the Delaque, gathering, analyzing information and using it to manipulate events have turned him into a master of intrigue. He likes his ‘silly’ name of Billy the Boy because it’s hard to take anyone called ‘Billy the Boy’ as a serious threat.

Introducing a new Necromunda Cawdor Gang

whole cawdor gang

Cawdor gang “The Call of Aliester” traversing the south wall of Grippen sector. They’re a poor gang as many are in Grippen sector and get most of their credits by clearing out debris-filled areas, recycling/reselling the trash and finally receiving credits from the Administorum for making more hab-space available.
Everyone knows that the ‘recycling/reselling’ step is really just moving the trash to another area that the gang will eventually ‘clean out’ and repeat the cycle.
Lucius Larch the gang’s current Word-Keeper manages the gang’s contacts in the Administorum during the day in his role of ‘business professional’
even though the ‘business’ is never specified.

Ugly Mike has been with Lucius since they were punk kids. During a promethium heist an unlucky shot hit a promethium pipe Mike was sheltering behind. A jet of flaming promethium broiled away most of his lower jaw leaving just the bone and his teeth. He took to wearing a metal mask to cover and protect his jaw. His preferred weapon is a heavy crossbow.

Billy the Boy, the another gang member is almost a sycophant of Lucius’, he always runs in front protecting Lucius with his stub gun and flail.
