Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • In Warhammer Fantasy Battle, most skaven seem to have this as their Hat, with the ones at the top usually being full fledged Magnificent Bastards.
    • The same can be said about the Dark Eldar in Warhammer 40,000, as well as a majority of Imperial Governers and Chaos Sorcerers.
    • Among the Skaven, Grey Seer Thanquol from the Gotrek and Felix novels takes the cake and eats it. He appears as a would-be Big Bad in what seems like half the books, always having his schemes foiled by the titular pair of heroes. At one point he finally gets them in his claws, only to realise they have no idea who he is. Cue the Villainous BSOD.
  • Duke Rowan Darkwood from Planescape thinks that he is fated to conquer Sigil. He is wrong.
  • Ertai from Magic: The Gathering.
