Fletcher, the Cannibal Warlock
Seven feet tall, built like a grizzly. Sooty, bald, covered in tattoos. Rules the Accursed Den by sheer will but cannot fit through the Tunnel that leads to Lesdy in the Greenhouse — whom he hates.
Fletcher's story: As a child he was led out into Sarkash and left to die. Desperate necromancers found the feral boy chewing on rabbit carcasses in a gloomy glade. They took him in, but no force or threat could control him, and he slowly grew more powerful. Eventually they too abandoned him to die, hurling him into the Accursed Den. This became his domain. He wants to use Aldon to pressure the Shadow King into getting rid of Lesdy for good.
He has the oddly-shaped key to the door between the Debris Room and the Statue Room.
Stat block: HP 20, Morale −, Hardened skin −d4. Red-hot flail d8 + severe burn (Agility tests −2 for a day).
Uses a Power every third round (automatically succeeds). d4: 1–2. Nine Violet Signs Unknot the Storm: d2 bolts of lightning for d6 damage each.
- Daemon of Capillaries: one creature chokes for d6 rounds, d4 HP damage per round.
- Ich-bin-luft (unique): Fletcher is invisible the next two rounds. Can still attack.
When Fletcher takes damage, big chunks of human flesh rain down as if in sympathy — the PC who hit him must test Agility DR8 or take d4 damage.

The desperate necromancers who raised him are unnamed and ungrouped — possibly an offshoot of the Death Ziggurat priesthood, possibly independent. His sympathetic flesh-rain is unique to him; mechanism unwritten.
