'''Tretch Craventail''' is a [[Skaven]] special character introduced in the 7th edition of [[Warhammer Fantasy]]. He is the second "generic" skaven character, following in the paws of [[Queek Head-Taker]].

	In a race known for their duplicity, Tretch is famous for being incredibly cunning, which really speaks quite highly to his abilities to deceive and plot. In short, he's the shiftiest bastard that ever shifted, and, combined with amazingly impressive lucky streak, he's basically living the Skaven version of the American dream. Also, his name Tretch, is obviously taken from "treachery" (say it out loud).		In a race known for their duplicity, Tretch is famous for being incredibly cunning, which really speaks quite highly to his abilities to deceive and plot. In short, he's the shiftiest bastard that ever shifted, and, combined with amazingly impressive lucky streak, he's basically living the Skaven version of the American dream. Also, his name Tretch, is obviously taken from "treachery" (say it out loud).

	Born into [[Clan Rictus]], one of the richest clans in all of Skavendom and big rivals to [[Clan Mors]], he started out as a simple clanrat soldier in the ranks of an unnamed regiment. While normally one would expect the life of a clanrat to be nasty, brutish, and short, Tretch is a real go-getter who knows when to grab life by the horns and take it for a ride. After his regiment took part in a raiding force that captured a group of Night Goblins near Crookback Mountain, Tretch was left in charge of the valuables recovered from the greenskins as a reward for his plan of spiking their fungus beer with sedatives so that the Skaven could capture them alive for slavery purposes. Apparently, his Clawleader didn't pay much attention to the implications of one of his underlings coming up with such a devious plan, because he left the ambitious young ratman alive after the Night Goblins were secured.

Apparently, his Clawleader didn't pay much attention to the implications of one of his underlings coming up with such a devious plan, because he left the ambitious young ratman alive after the Night Goblins were secured.

	Tretch, realizing that if it worked once, it might work again, waited until all the Clawleaders and Chieftains present in the raiding force met to discuss (read: argue furiously) over what direction the column and its newly acquired slaves should take. While his superiors were busy debating (read: trying to claw one another's eyes out), Tretch distributed the contents of a small keg of mad cap mushrooms among his prisoners. Mad cap mushrooms, for reference, are what Night Goblins eat before battle to turn themselves into berserk balls of death, and in this case, they worked to perfection. Chained together, the greenskins starting spinning and whirling in a maddened frenzy through the packed tunnel, catching up the Skaven leaders in the murderous chaos. Sooner rather than later, Tretch's Clawpack needed a new commander, and he happily volunteered.

	Since that day, Tretch's star has pretty much permanently been on the rise, supplemented with good luck that would put someone literally covered in horseshoes and baptized in four-leaf clovers to shame. At the Battle of Black Crag, it was Tretch who found the hidden path that allowed the Skaven to attack the Dwarfen gunline and turn the fight in their favor. It was Tretch who led the digging of a tunnel underneath the camp of Orc warlord Dagbad, Scourge of the Darklands, so that the Skaven could steal every goblin in his camp right out from underneath his nose. When Skaven forces attempted to capture an Imperial galleon on the River Aver (the Horned Rat only knows why), only Tretch swam free from the wreckage. Time and again, Tretch survives when all those around him die, whether it be escaping the blast of a malfunctioning weapon team, avoiding being mauled by ravenous monsters, or somehow emerging alive from a murderous clash on the battlefield that left his entire force devastated.

However, the introduction of the "Undercity" mechanic, which offers a way to get food, mitigates this problem. Especially now that he starts with one, at least in Mortal Empires.
