Editing Queek Head-Taker (section)

==[[The End Times]]==
Appearing primarily in the 4th book, Thanquol (no surprise there), Queek was assisted by Skreech Verminking in the final war for Karak Eight-Peaks, making a temporary alliance with Skarsnik to finally push out the dwarfs. It was here where Queek managed to kill Belegar Ironhammer, shattering what many considered the last hope for the dwarfs of the Worlds Edge Mountains. Belegar did manage to get a nasty blow in on Queek, crippling him severely. Naturally the Skaven betrayed the Night Goblins and the resulting scuffle obliterated all of the fallen hold after Skarsnik detonated a Skyre explosive in a spiteful “If I can’t have it no one can!” action…but the bomb was defused so that amounted to nothing.

The Head-Taker was later seen leading a massive swarm of Skaven against Karaz-A-Karak along with all the other Skaven special characters (minus Skrolk, who blew up with Lustria, and Tretch, who the writers forgot about). True to form, he challenged [[Thorgrim Grudgebearer]] to a duel for the fate of the Everpeak. The High King effortlessly beat down Queek (likely helped by the wound he suffered from Belegar) while shouting all of the warlord’s crimes from the Book of Grudges. Only after smashing Dwarf-Gouger, cutting his skull banner off, and listing the death of Belegar Ironhammer did Thorgrim finally kill Queek Head-Taker by crushing his neck with his bare hands. Queek’s death broke the Skaven army and they all fled back to Skavenblight, however the wounds he inflicted on Thorgrim did allow for Deathmaster Snikch to end the High King’s life.
