Warrior of the Chamber
Gharkan Steelsoul is the most influential member of the once-respected Shadowflame Clan. He and his clan resided in Zharr Naggrund and were very close to the pulse of Chaos Dwarf society. The Shadowflame had garnered a fair amount of power considering that it had a reputation for not producing many sorcerors. Everything changed however when part of the clan's secret agenda was revealed by it's enemies.
A rival clan had placed a skilled spy into Shadowflame's midst. This spy discovered a shocking truth. Clan Shadowflame held some radical and dangerous beliefs in regards to their treasonous kin to the west. Gharkan believed strongly in a world dominated by Chaos Dwarfs. He also knew that with their current strength, the Chaos Dwarfs could never rise to conquer the lesser races. He therefore came to the realization that rather than eradicating their heathen Dwarf brother; the Chaos Dwarfs should make them see the truth in Hashut's darkness. If this dream was made into reality, if the Chaos Dwarfs and Dwarfs united as one, the entire planet would cower before their might.
These plans came to light long before Shadowflame could even begin trying to convert any Dwarfs. Outrage spread throughout Zharr Naggrund. Shadowflame would have surely met it's end their if not for the pull they had within the city and the silver gilt tongues of their envoys. Rather than be put to the knife, the entire clan was banished from Zharr Naggrund and was stripped of nearly all of it's status. Gharkan and his clan were left to stand guard over a small and ultimately unimportant fortress near the Ash Ridge Mountains. They were warned to never again speak or act on their dangerous theories under pain of death.
Clan Shadowflame now sits in isolation. Their time occupied with greenskin outbreaks and the occasional Skaven attack. They show a cowed and hopeless face to the rest of the Chaos Dwarf world. Behind this facade however is an endless stream of machinations. They will do what is best for the Chaos Dwarfs whether they agree with it or not. Small and secretive excursions are already being made into Dwarf territory. Once a method is found for turning Dwarfs to the right path, Clan Shadowflame will no longer need to linger in silent shame. Deep rage has arisen in the Shadowflame Chaos Dwarfs. They now vow that if their plans should come to fruition, they will take control of the Chaos Dwarf empire. Gharkan had always felt that the dominance sorcerors held on their society was unfair. He now wishes to attain a new title in addition to being the head of Clan Shadowflame: Emperor of the Chaos Dwarfs.

Yeah, Gharkan's first lieutenant, the Bull Centaur Asgor Jaghoof, is commanding Clan Shadowflame's forces. I'll post up a story or two about it in a few days. I first need to read all the fluff for the campaign so I know whats what.
