Deathmaster Snikch
Eshin’s supreme operative is a potent instrument of murder and sabotage, unseen until the fleeting moment of his victim's death.Deathmaster Snikch is the Chief Assassin and prime agent of Lord Sneek, Lord of Decay and Nightlord of Clan Eshin. His infamy is only exceeded by the mystery which surrounds his whereabouts at any particular time. Lord Sneek ensures that this is the case – as long as no one knows Snikch's location no one can truly feel safe. Deathmaster Snikch has appeared all over the Old World at one time or another, seldom being seen but always leaving his distinctive symbol traced in blood beside the decapitated heads of his victims. No one truly knows what horrors the Deathmaster has perpetrated during his long and mysterious existence. It is only on the battlefield that the Deathmaster's presence can at least be felt, stalking his victims, concealed beneath the magical Cloak of Shadows, its ensorcelled power strong enough to make a mockery of the most intricate defences. Where the stealthy tread of Deathmaster Snikch falls, no prince or warlord is safe from his blades.

Abilities
- Deathmaster's Sigil
Snikch leaves his distinctive symbol traced in blood beside his victims, so others will know the Deathmaster is abroad, and live in mortal dread. - Concealment Bombs
When a bomb is smashed, a dark smoke curls out, concealing those who wish to hide and choking everyone else. - Scurry Away!
"He who runs away lives to fight another day!" - so the foul, craven adage goes. - Slippery
Those who are "slippery" cannot be cornered or pinned - they simply "slip" away…

This highly dexterous unit dodges blades and missiles with ease; its luck is known to run out quickly when facing magical weapons, however.
