Personnal - Betrayed by Blood
The players could hear the sound of heavy footsteps and low growling coming from the darkness, and they soon find themselves surrounded by a group of bugbears.The bugbears are led by two warlocks, who are wielding wicked-looking daggers and chanting in a guttural language. One of them addresses Mukli directly: Warlock 1: "We've come to take you back to the tribe, Mukli. You belong with us, not with these soft-skinned weaklings." Warlock 2: "You're a fool, Mukli. The tribe is stronger now, thanks to our new allies. And we have a message from our master. He wants you dead."

The Kulg'snick is Mukli's previous tribe, their name translates to Brutal Slayers in Goblin.
Their patron demon is named Urzath, the Lord of Malice. Urzath was once an archdevil who sought to undermine the power of the gods by sowing discord among their followers. When he was cast out of the Nine Hells, he found a new home among the ranks of the Creator of Strife's demon minions.
Urzath's powers of deception and manipulation make him a fitting patron for the bugbear warlocks. He grants them the ability to sow strife and discord among their enemies, and to bend the minds of those around them to their will. He delights in watching chaos unfold, and his followers revel in the power they gain from creating it.
As a demon of malice, Urzath's appearance is twisted and grotesque. He stands over ten feet tall, with leathery wings and a barbed tail. His skin is black and oily, and his eyes burn with a fiery red light. His voice is like the scraping of rusty blades, and his laughter is a sound of pure malevolence.
