Ickitchkit grew up in the blighted wastes. His childhood was spent traveling between the clans many hidden caches in the waste to stay ahead of the roving hordes of undead. His clan peddled relics from lost ruins and service as exterminators with frontier settlements for basic supplies. Long ago his clan had been blessed with dragonblood, and even now many of his cousins were marked with greater strength and endurance that gave the Tch'Squeak a unique place amongst the disparate nezumi clans trying to reclaim their long lost empire.

For his part, Ickitchkit set off to find his own fortune as a young adult after discovering an old tome of vestige lore in the ruins of some forgotten library. With mastery over these lost spirits he hopes to launch a new reconquista.
