“Hear ye! Hear ye! I’m the Cursed City crier, and today I bring you tales of Octren Glimscry, the death scholar relentlessly pursuing the masters of Ulfenkarn. Make sure you also ask about my special offer on jashbin fruit.”
The Mortal Realms are full of foes who were once friends – Sigmar and Nagash, Sigmar and Gorkamorka, Sigmar and, actually Sigmar just isn’t great at keeping friends. Now, we have Octren Glimscry, once a friend and colleague of Torgillius the Chamberlain.
Octren spent many decades delving into the mysteries of the Realm of Death. Along with Torgillius, he experimented with grave-sand, seeking the secrets of immortality. But the now-chamberlain stole his research and fled to Ulfenkarn. To rub salt into Octren’s wounds, his former friend then perfected their work. You might not be able to see it behind his death mask, but Octren is furious.
Now Octren has followed his former friend to the Cursed City, and he’s going to use his many lifetimes of experience to track down Torgillius. We don’t imagine it’s to present him with an award for services to science either.
As Octren pursues Torgillius and his master Radukar relentlessly through Ulfenkarn, some who fight alongside him privately question whether he means to slay the villains or join them as a lord of undeath. It’s best not to turn your back on him, just in case.
Octren Glimscry is available along with seven other heroes, including Jelsen Darrock and Qulathis the Exile, in Warhammer Quest: Cursed City. Learn more about all of them and the villains they will face by visiting the Cursed City website.
