Clint Smashgrab

Level 50, Were-Kin, Light Recon Specialist: a three-foot warrior in studded leather and a Rambo bandana with a metal bar for a foot, one of six schoolboys of the Chee transfigured into were-castors by Imogen's own spell before her cleansers were sent in, bald and one-legged when not a beaver. He upgrades Point Mongo's southern wall and puts out a burning leg with his tail; torn apart under Fort Freedom in front of Holger, his body never found. He lives on as a child in Signet's ink.
