Queek Head-Taker

Queek Head-Taker (also known as Headtaker in some editions) is a Skaven special character for Warhammer Fantasy. Introduced in the very first Skaven army book in 4th edition, Queek is the acting head of Clan Mors, as its true leader Gnawdwell sits on the Council of 13. Reared specially by Gnawdwell himself, Queek is uncommonly brave, savage and skilled for a standard skaven; unlike most of his cowardly, ill-trained ilk, Queek is a skilled warrior and has a fierce pride, meaning he revels in facing down and defeating enemy champions. His favored weapon is an enchanted warpick called "Dwarf-Gouger", which comes in handy given that he spends most of his time fighting dwarfs and night goblins.

Queek is reckless, kill happy and mentally unstable(he believes his trophy heads speak to them, and he values them as trusted friends and confidants). Despite (or possibly because of) this, he has some of the most cordial relationships that any skaven has ever had with another. For his skill on the battlefield and lack of political skills Gnawdwell considers him irreplaceable and is actually proud of him. He also has a buddy in Ska Bloodtail.

Up until the creation of Tretch Craventail in 7th edition, Queek was the only Warlord-based skaven special character.

Sadly he (like so many other characters) met his end during The End Times, getting himself captured and publicly executed by the Dwarfs.
