Breach Marshal

Breach Marshal

Medium humanoid (duegar), lawful evil

Duergar Linebreakers are heavily armored shock troops trained to smash through enemy formations and fortified defenses with enormous Shatterhammers. Clad in blackened steel with deep crimson markings, they advance with grim discipline rather than reckless fury. Some consume Ironheart fungus before battle, suppressing fear and pain to focus entirely on breaking the enemy line and opening the way for the Dominion’s forces.
