Weran

Weran, otherwise known at "the rat king", is a character from Strife. He is the leader of a group of semi-humanoid subterranean dwellers who live in the sewers beneath the city.

One of the missions on which the player must embark during the first third of the game involves convincing Weran to aid The Front by providing access to a hidden access point in The Order's castle so that the player can destroy the shield generators and open up the castle to a frontal assault by Macil's forces. He agrees to the task in exchange for a suit of acolyte armor with a respirator, needed for his people to scavenge food from above ground. He also helps the player by offering a large quantity of weapons, ammo, gold, and other useful items.
