The Plague Priest of Clan Pestilen occupy the highest and most senior position within the Clan, just below the Plaguelords themselves. These lords of pestilence guide their foul brothers in the eternal pursuit to create the greatest and most horrific virulent disease known to all Skavendom and use it to weaken the surface world for their final apocalyptic invasion. It is the Plague Priest who stoke the righteous fury of the younger Plague Monks, teaching them litanies of hate and breeding intolerance for all customs outside their own. Loyal and fanatical, these ratmen are singularly devoted to their holy cause.[1a]
