	Short, stout and sure to stomp your arse, Bardin is here to help out his ~~dawris~~ and slaughter some rakis (and anything else that comes in the way). Either he continued his quest for Karak Zorn as a Ranger Veteran (Which is canon), returned to his roots as an Ironbreaker, or forsook life in pursuit of honorable death as a [[Slayer]]. After the trip to Drachenfels however, the regrets that surfaced made him look to his old passions of becoming an Engineer, and thus, became an Outcast Engineer. Life STILL isn't smooth sailing for him, as Lohner's journals reveal that his daughter has gone missing. Whether she'll be found is anyone's guess...

	*'''Ranger Veteran''': Karak Zorn is yet to be found, but the defense of Reikland currently comes first for Bardin. Bardin the Ranger Veteran favors the use of ranged weaponry to punish foes from a distance, but he's more than able to hold his own in melee if a hail of crossbow bolts doesn't do the trick. Cousin Okri would be proud. While this used to be the least powerful of the range-focused careers due to lacking a consistent means of generating ammo for itself, recent balance updates have made it into an extremely versatile and powerful support class. Of particular note is a talent that gives a chance for every special enemy you kill to drop a bomb, which is just hilariously strong.		*'''Ranger Veteran''': Karak Zorn is yet to be found, but the defense of Reikland currently comes first for Bardin.

	*'''Outcast Engineer''': Bardin's fourth unique DLC locked class (chronologically the 2nd paid class DLC). Ever since he returned from castle [[Drachenfels]], Bardin has been busy locking himself alone studying machinery. According to Lohner, his uncle '''Drakki Dagsson''' used to be an engineer whom Bardin looked up to, much to the dismay of his traditionalist dad '''Gorrek Dagsson''' who shuns technology and often came to disagreements with his brother Drakki. Upon learning Bardin was going to become an apprentice engineer, Dagsson went to disengage pneumatic supports at the mine out of anger and caused an earthquake, which also happened at the same time when Bardin was about to receive his apprenticeship. Dagsson managed to get most of the Dwarf to safety before the debris and stones swallowed him alive with the remaining Dwarfs. This forced Bardin to quit his passion to follow in his father's footsteps, becoming an Ironbreaker, and good ol' Drakki took the blame for the mining accident and became a slayer out of guilt (because of how heroic Dagsson was) and died in a troll cave. Still, tragedy did not end there for Bardin for he would later fail to defend his home, his family and his beardling son just because he wasn't strong enough to fight off a gutter runner, even led his entire team of sentry ~~died~~ saving him in the process. Filled with grief, Bardin decided to leave his hold and search for Karak Zorn as an excuse to exile himself (because seeker sounds better than exile) but ended up joining Victor's anti-ratman crusade at Ubersreik instead. The demon living in castle [[Drachenfels]] read everyone like an open book, including a magic resistant Dwarf, and it sarcastically mocked Bardin of his old shame. Having realized maybe he should never have followed his father's path and ~~perhapes~~ he was never suited for being an Ironbreaker, he went back to his old tinkering passion. With Lohner's help, Bardin acquired materials, minerals needed for his various tools of destruction like his signature crank gun (read: [[Awesome\|handheld Gatling gun, or handheld super repeater handgun because Richard Jordan Gatling doesn't exist in the Warhammer world]]) and is now out to destroy all those Thaggrakis and Dumals with it!... Unfortunately, despite the sheer and undeniable cool factor of the class, the Outcast Engineer often stands rock-bottom of Vermintide career tier lists; he is very squishy (despite his appearance) and has no options to buy himself some space so he will go down quickly if he's in the hands of a player who doesn't know exactly what they are doing, nor does he have any abilities that synergize with and support his teammates (unlike the Ranger Veteran). Outcast Engineer can be a decent boss killer and do OK in support of a ranged-focused party if the player behind him is good, but there are better options out there.		*'''Outcast Engineer''': Bardin's fourth unique DLC locked class (chronologically the 2nd paid class DLC).

The Drachenfels DLC reveals that Kerillian basically has the biggest impact on the story out of the whole party, with consequences reaching to the rest of Warhammer. She received a vision about how Ubersreik MIGHT have to do with the fall of Athel Loren.

	*'''Grail Knight''': MOTHERFUCKING GRAIL KNIGHT!!! The first unique class introduced and locked behind a DLC wall. It was revealed one day Kruber found out his Bretonnian lineage after he received a mysterious letter that was addressed to him with the '''de Mandelot''' surname. According to Lohner, he used his huge information network to ~~traced~~ back Kruber's bloodline and found out his father was actually a Bretonnian! but not just any Bretonnian: '''Foricarl de Mandelot'''! who used to be a well-known grail knight in Parravon after he saved the city from a dragon with style! He was widely worshiped since then with arts, music, and clothes referencing him. It wasn't until the duke's son, an arsehole by the name ''Willibald'' who is jealous of the hero's deed that he killed his father, the duke of Parravon, and framed Foricarl for it. The lady had to intervene herself and turned the fucktard into a frog but it was all too late, for Foricarl had already self-exiled in shame. Despite that, he continued to slay beasts and killing chaos shit like a badass until he finally settled at '''Ubersreik Hills''' and impregnated Kruber's mama, only to leave her before Kruber was even born. With the lady's blessing, Kruber is now '''Markus de Mandelot'''! And he now has [[troll\|the privilege call his teammates peasants, acting cockier and mightier than even Kerilian, while Bretonnian dancing all the way to the waystone, one-shotting any foe he came across with his magical sword ability]] (a voiceline while waiting to start on a Chaos Wastes expedition ''really'' has him imply he's been talking down to Saltzpyre after becoming a Grail Knight just to be a troll). Just like Slayer Bardin Markus can't use ranged weapons in this career (because peasant weapon dislike and chivalry bullshit), and he doesn't even have the option of throwing axes like Slayer Bardin does (again, see above), but his special buffs, move speed and ability make him a fantastic boss killer and crowd controller.		*'''Grail Knight''': MOTHERFUCKING GRAIL KNIGHT!!!

Then there's the '''Trail to Treachery''', which involves Sienna's sister Sofia and finally brings everything about her past to a (burning) head.

			A fourth DLC campaign, '''Karak Azgaraz''' was announced during Warhammer Skulls 2023, with a plot set on exploring a lost Dwarf hold.

	It's later revealed that the career switching in between missions is canon. How? As Lohner writes, [https://www.vermintide.com/news/franz-lohners-chronicle-the-changer-of-ways Tzeentch has taken a gander at the team], changing their histories and lives and nobody notices because "that's how it's always been". It takes a conscious effort for everyone to notice and dispel the illusion. Now, whether that was actually Tzeentch or Olesya [[Troll\|fucking with everyone]] is anyone's guess...

	The Witch-Hunteriest Witch Hunter continues to hunt... More Skaven and Rotbloods than witches, but he hunts all the same. After the Ubersreik campaign, the Order of the Silver Hammer still [[Derp\| stupidly tried to deny the existence of the ratmen]], spinning the invasion as a myth. How "Salty" he was in his reaction formed the crux of his future: Either he gained more political power in the chaos, allowing him to secretly fight the ratmen (The canonical choice), spoke out against the stupidity and abandoned the order to become a bounty hunter, or he lost faith in humanity entirely and relished in fanatical worship of Sigmar. As the events of the game go on however, even this faith in Sigmar is shaken, and he organizes a pilgrimage to the Chaos Wastes to assuage his fears. Journals reveal that he's coming on more to preaching and thinking on the Eternal Flame... After the Chaos Waste pilgrimage, he rededicated himself to Sigmar and became a Warrior Priest, somehow managing to become even more of a fanatic in the process.

	*'''Witch Hunter Captain''': The deaths of several Captains over the course of the End Times has allowed Victor to rise in rank, but he has had to accept that the Witch Hunters won’t recognize the fact that there’s an entire fucking empire of ratmen just below their cities; Saltzpyre now uses his new political position to fight the menace in secret. In addition to a fancier hat, Victor as a Witch Hunter Captain can do everything he could in the first game and also gets some abilities that help him support his allies.		*'''Witch Hunter Captain''': The deaths of several Captains over the course of the End Times has allowed Victor to rise in rank, but he has had to accept that the Witch Hunters won’t recognize the fact that there’s an entire fucking empire of ratmen just below their cities; Saltzpyre now uses his new political position to fight the menace in secret.

	**Unique active ability: ''Shield of Faith''- Saltzpyre generates a barrier on himself or his allies, making them invincible for 5 seconds. The shield explodes when it expires, dealing damage to nearby enemies. Can be upgraded to affect both Victor and someone else simultaneously, extend its duration to 8 seconds while granting the ability to trample weaker enemies, or provide a revival and healing effect.		**Unique active ability: ''Shield of Faith''- Saltzpyre generates a barrier on himself or his allies, making them invincible for 5 seconds.

	===Markus Kruber (aka Markus de Mandelot)===		===[[Markus Kruber]] (aka Markus de Mandelot)===
	[[This Guy\|Faithful, dependable Markus]], always willing to help out, continues to serve against the Ratmen for both coin and conscience. The universe seems to have rewarded him for being a nice, simple guy because none of his careers turn out badly for him. Either he gets deeper into merc life (the canon choice), he takes some time off to breathe as a Huntsman, or he's recognized for his achievements and gets inducted into the Order of the Reikhammer as a Foot Knight. Later in the story, his ancient bloodline is revealed and he becomes an official Grail Knight of Bretonnia. This means he somehow made the journey to Bretonnia, fought all manner of beasts and monsters (while drunk) and even [[Awesome\|proved himself to]] [[The Green Knight]] before finally sipping some <strike>[[Lileath\|elven goddess]]</strike>[[Lady of the Lake\|Lake Lady]] bathwater, gaining the requisite powers, stupid French accent, and... [[Troll\|"chivalric" manner]]. Let's just hope his good luck continues to hold, eh?

	*'''Mercenary''': The life of a mercenary has suited Markus well, in no small part due to not having to answer to incompetent leaders like he used to. Being a Mercenary allows Markus a good degree of versatility, with medium armor that grants protection without losing maneuverability and a focus on using sweeping attacks to clear out hordes.		*'''Mercenary''': The life of a mercenary has suited Markus well, in no small part due to not having to answer to incompetent leaders like he used to.

	**Unique active ability: ''Blessed Blade''- Smite a target with a holy blade. Can be upgraded to deal even more single target damage with a slash and stab, change into a horizontal crowd cleaver or stay the same and increase movement speed upon kill.		**Unique active ability: ''Blessed Blade''- Smite a target with a holy blade.

	===Kerillian===		===[[Kerillian]]===
	The elf continues to be a standoffish, if slightly nicer, jerk, though her sensitivity masks hidden scars. Her faith forms the crux of her careers, whether remaining a faithful, if conflicted, Waywatcher promoted to Waystalker (This is canon), a Handmaiden more devoted to Isha and protecting others, or losing herself to bloodlust and becoming a Shade of [[Khaine]]. The Drachenfels DLC reveals that Kerillian basically has the biggest impact on the story out of the whole party, with consequences reaching to the rest of Warhammer. She received a vision about how Ubersreik MIGHT have to do with the fall of Athel Loren. With pride and without any thought, she ambushed two regiments of soldiers from Nuln meant to reinforce the city, leaving it undefended... From the Skaven. That's right, [[Fail\|because of her pride, she's responsible for ALL of the slaughter and death caused by the Vermintide, and contributed more than a fair bit to bringing about the End Times]].This explains her biting behavior, a shield to her own failures. The pilgrimage to the Chaos Wastes broke her resolve and caused her to question her faith, giving up her regrets to Isha and becoming a Sister of the Thorn, losing part of herself and becoming more cynical than ever.

	*'''Waystalker''': Frustrated with the clumsiness of her companions, Kerillian has resolved to further hone her skills to compensate further for the "lumberfoots". As a Waystalker, Kerillian further specializes in her longbow, both for precision sniping and for raining arrows on enemies.		*'''Waystalker''': Frustrated with the clumsiness of her companions, Kerillian has resolved to further hone her skills to compensate further for the "lumberfoots".

	**Unique active ability: ''Thornwake''- Raise a thornwall that blocks movement. Can be upgraded to last longer, deal more damage and apply bleed at the cost of duration or explode with poison when it expires, increasing damage dealt to enemies caught.		**Unique active ability: ''Thornwake''- Raise a thornwall that blocks movement.

	===Bardin Goreksson===		===[[Bardin Goreksson]]===
	Short, stout and sure to stomp your arse, Bardin is here to help out his dawris and slaughter some rakis (and anything else that comes in the way). Either he continued his quest for Karak Zorn as a Ranger Veteran (Which is canon), returned to his roots as an Ironbreaker, or forsook life in pursuit of honorable death as a [[Slayer]]. After the trip to Drachenfels however, the regrets that surfaced made him look to his old passions of becoming an Engineer, and thus, became an Outcast Engineer. Life STILL isn't smooth sailing for him, as Lohner's journals reveal that his daughter has gone missing. Whether she'll be found is anyone's guess...

	*'''Ranger Veteran''': Karak Zorn is yet to be found, but the defense of Reikland currently comes first for Bardin. Bardin the Ranger Veteran favors the use of ranged weaponry to punish foes from a distance, but he's more than able to hold his own in melee if a hail of crossbow bolts doesn't do the trick. Cousin Okri would be proud. While this used to be the least powerful of the range-focused careers due to lacking a consistent means of generating ammo for itself, recent balance updates have made it into an extremely versatile and powerful support class. Of particular note is a talent that gives a chance for every special enemy you kill to drop a bomb, which is just hilariously strong.		*'''Ranger Veteran''': Karak Zorn is yet to be found, but the defense of Reikland currently comes first for Bardin.

	**Unique active ability: ''Steam-Assisted Crank Gun (mk2)''- An interesting active ability that's more like a third weapon, activating Bardin's special gun. Switching to the gun doesn't use up the bar, nor does it build up automatically. You "Reload" the gun in order to fill up your ability bar over time, and you can fire it as long as you have "ammo" in it. Can be upgraded to fire slower but stronger slugs, immediately start out firing at full speed, or have a longer ability bar that temporarily isn't used when you kill a special.		**Unique active ability: ''Steam-Assisted Crank Gun (mk2)''- An interesting active ability that's more like a third weapon, activating Bardin's special gun.

	===Sienna Fuegonasus===		===[[Sienna Fuegonasus]]===
	As fiery and feisty as ever, the U5's witch is here to blaze a trail through rat and rot alike. How she does it forms the basis of her paths in life: She either made an attempt to discipline herself as a Battle Wizard (Canon), split between freedom and control as a Pyromancer or lost herself to the flame as an Unchained. It's eventually revealed in Lohner's journals that Sienna "had" a sister named Sofia. They weren't on the best terms, but they were family, so when Sofia was accused of being a [[Necromancer]], Sienna burned the town responsible for accusing her. [[Fail\|And then it turns out she WAS a necromancer, so Sienna burned her too]]. Note the quotation marks, as Lohner recently got a letter from someone claiming to be Sofia, blackmailing him to do her a favor or else some of his unsavory secrets would be revealed. This fiasco finally blew up in everyone's faces (which fits Sienna) when Sofia finally made her appearance known in the Trails to Treachery, and now the 5 have to deal with whatever madness she has.

	*'''Battle Wizard''': Ubersreik taught Sienna the value of self-control, and while she was reluctant to do so she has learned to control the flame for the first time. The greater degree of self-discipline Sienna has as a Battle Wizard allows her to focus on perfecting her spellcasting, letting her cast spells more quickly, more often, and for more damage.		*'''Battle Wizard''': Ubersreik taught Sienna the value of self-control, and while she was reluctant to do so she has learned to control the flame for the first time.
