Talkinn, Master of the Swarm

Very little is known about the dwarf Talkinn. He appeared suddenly in Rykthaven around 437 YoU and set himself up in the former church of Caldis supported by a large group of followers. As diseases and sickness spread across the northern districts of the town he promised relief to those who would embrace his master. Thus his congruation grew steadily and quickly he and the cultists around him grabbed controll of most districts north of the river.
In 438 YoU during the cleansing Talkinn was challenged by Bloddwyn, Bernard, Farkasz, Yandrak and Jhessalia in the church. As swarms of rats and two large plagebearer demons attacked the group it was Bernard who knocked out the priest by hypnotizing him with a spell. Unable to act Talkinn found himself surrounded and cuffed by Bloddwyn and his companions.
For the next couple of days Bloddwyn attempeted to interrogate the cultist leader, who was amused by Bloddwyn's lack of understanding especially when questioned about Obus Beq's plans. While the town's council debated what to do with Talkinn he escaped the prison. Only rats and bones of the guards remaining.
