'''Ikit Claw''' is the Master [[Warlock]] [[Artificer|Engineer]] of [[Clan Skryre]], making him a [[Skaven]] special character in [[Warhammer Fantasy]]. Oh and he invented the [[DOOMWHEELS]].

Similar to other immortal Skaven like [[Lord Skrolk|Lord Skrolk]] ([[Clan Pestilens]]) and [[Throt the Unclean]] (Clan Moulder), he achieved immortality due to years spent obsessing over magic runes and artifacts of other species. He is one of the oldest [[Skaven]] still alive and was present when the second Skaven civil war happened.

He is a white furred Skaven and, like every other white furred Skaven, good with magic; a talent he has put to good use by spending his entire life studying magical lore and mastering the dark [[magitek]] of his Clan. Just like a certain [[Mannfred von Carstein|whiny vampire]], he journeyed around the world in search of any magic related item to study even if it meant risking his life or disobeying other Skaven clans (He once pissed off Clan Pestilens by trespassing on their territory in Lustria). Other than his obsession with magic, he is one of Skryre's most skilled and prolific inventors and he invented the [[DOOMWHEELS]] we and the Skaven love (but is hated by the man-things and dwarf-things because they don't like to be zzaped and rammed by the damn things), and it certainly proved that he is the most powerful and smartest (for a Skaven) warlock of all. His most notable physical characteristics are the [[power armor|face-covering metallic mask and artificial arm-brace]] he invented for himself centuries ago, to cover his scars from a failed experiment which badly burned his face and his left arm.

Just like every other [[Skaven]], he is egotistic and ignorant. His greatest goal is to create a weapon that would surpass <s>[[Metal Gear]]</s> uhm, I mean he wanted to create a weapon so dangerous that he would make himself more famous than his master Morskittar, the current ruler of [[Clan Skryre]]. He doesn't give a shit about other Skaven or the under empire or other-things, he just want to be famous even if means to destroying the entire world. What a dick.

===The Doom-Sphere===
Ikit Claw's obsession with creating weapons of mass destruction has led him to create a doomsday weapon akin to the real life atom bomb: the Doom-Sphere. He first kick started the plan after he took many of Kraka Drak's engineers as slaves. Of course, the stubborn and vengeful nature of the dwarfs has led the Dwarven Master Engineer Klarak Bronzehammer to stop him. Due to the typical Skaven incompetence however, Ikit Claw suffered a humiliating defeat similar to [[Thanquol]] in a typical [[Gotrek & Felix]] chapter, but that doesn't stop him. He came back once again to improve the sphere with metal-alloy he stole from his rival Bronzehammer, only to be bested again by him. Yet, Ikit Claw survived and so long he lives, he will never stop creating doomsday devices to threaten the very fate of the world just to boost his own ego.

==The End Times==
It is said Ikit claw, [[Throt the Unclean]] as well as both of their respective clans (Skryre and Moulder) worked together on creating the ultimate Skaven killing machine that turned out to be the "Stormfiend". Although both publicly announced that only the chosen clan gets to use these badass new toys, they still put them up on sale for profit in the Skaven black market where everyone gets to buy one, especially the cunning grey seer of [[clan Fester]] Rasknitt who had his very own deathrattler Stormfiend.

Ikit Claw was first seen in the Skaven siege of Karak Kadrin where he contaminated the dwarf hold full of poison wind. Later, he went to help with the siege of Kharaz-a-Kharak where he was seemingly killed but was actually only wounded. After the Skaven allied with chaos, Ikit Claw went to stop Nagash's ascension with the Nurgle possessed Isabella von Carstein and her Nurgle army. Ikit Claw was able to plant several warpstone bombs inside Nagash's Black Pyramid (which cannot even be scratched by the Tomb Kings). It wasn't an easy task however since the pyramid inside was guarded by a necromancer and many constructs, like Ushabti and Greatbow Ushabti, not to mention Nagash himself being around. Luckily with Isabella distracting the bone daddy himself, Ikit Claw was able to detonate the damn thing. After some what later, Nagash sent Apophas to kill Ikit Claw for his asinine bomb prank which led him to Skavenblight where he killed a bunch of rat shit. It is said Klawmunkast and his Rat Tank was there to hold the Apophas in place before Ikit Claw sent him to the chaos realm with his warp stone bomb. So yeah, Ikit Claw actually gets a lot of shit done in the end times and he has proven himself to be the one and only creature in the world to blow up Nagash's indestructible (not anymore, lol) Black Pyramid as well as Apophas, the seemly undying spooky scarab guy.

Also, he probably helped [[Clan Skryre]] in blowing up [[Morrslieb]]. If it weren't for those pesky [[Lizardmen|magical amphibians]] living in the jungle, he would've had the moon's gigantic falling debris smashing into the world and thus destroy it and making all his dreams come true.

==Total War: WARHAMMER II==
On April 4th 2019 he was announced as part of "The Prophet and the Warlock" DLC for [[Total War: Warhammer II]], bringing with him a whole bunch of new toys for the ratty bois including Ratling Guns, Warplock Jezzails and Doom-flayers. In addition to that his faction [[Clan Skryre]] will have access to a "Forbidden Workshop" allowing them to upgrade certain units like DOOMWHEELS, Warp Lightning Cannons, et.c. Oh and he gets to plant hidden nukes under the cities of other factions, which will turn them into ruins. So that's nice.

{{Topquote|Everyone, they concerned for Queek’s sanity. Perhaps you worry less for what is in Queek’s head, and more on keeping what is in yours.|Queek on his mental stability.}}

'''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 Thirteen]]. 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, another peculiar Stormvermin who was larger even than Queek, yet remained oddly loyal.

He spent most of his time in Karak-Eight-Peaks, where he regularly fought against the night goblin hordes of [[Skarsnik]] and the dwarven holds of Belegar Ironhammer, the latter of which he would personally slay during the End Times.

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 [[Thorgrim Grudgebearer]].

==His Collection of Heads==
*'''Ikit Slash'''-A rival Skaven warlord, now the massive skeleton on the Headtaker’s trophy rack. He was the leader of the Fester Spike warren, which were deemed as traitors by Clan Mors, and thus sentenced to death. Queek had built an elaborate series of tunnels all around Ikit’s base, which Ikit promptly filled to the brim with his own forces. [[Just as planned|Exactly what Queek wanted.]] The Headtaker personally killed Ikit who was all alone. He was the most vocal of Queek’s voice, offering constant praise and warnings against any potential betrayals.
*'''Morglum Blacktooth'''-The first head to adorn Queek’s trophy rack. An orc warboss that Queek slew during his very first victory. Blacktooth’s voice would later lead Queek to Dwarf Gouger. Queek regarded him as the smartest of the heads, which is questionable considering this was an orc we’re talking about. Unfortunately, Blacktooth’s skull was shattered during the battle of Karak-Azul. Queek killed many dwarf-things in Blacktooth’s name.
*'''Krug Ironhand'''-A dwarf thane. His voice rarely spoke, only encouraging violence or to warn Queek of danger.
*'''Sleek Sharpwit'''-Also known as Old-thing, he was Clawlord Gnawdwell’s favored pupil before Queek. He walked a thin line of scheming for and against the Headtaker before eventually deciding enough was enough. He was no match for the younger and hungrier warlord, even while hopped up on warpstone. His skull took Blacktooth’s place on Queek’s rack and remained an ever present voice of condemnation and lecture for Queek.
*'''Albrecht Kraus'''-The former baron of Averland. His hands also adorn the trophy rack, in addition to his head.
