Core Summary

Role in the Universe

Ratter functions as The Country Club’s mobile artillery platform. Once a heavy machine gunner within The Matriarch’s 1st/3rd Rat Infantry, he abandoned that command structure and resurfaced inside the shock team.

Within the Marrow Wastelands, Ratter provides suppressive dominance. Where others cut, he overwhelms.

Psychological Profile

Manic. Unpredictable. Hyper-aggressive.

Ratter’s temperament borders on ecstatic violence. Field notes indicate a disconcerting enthusiasm during sustained fire operations.

His outward “cuddly” aesthetic contrasts violently with the destructive scale of his weapon systems.
