Fang the Wrathful or Rustback as he was originally know was a reject forgewrought who made it down to Kharlia through a series of mishaps. After being found and educated by Arthur Nightstalker he learned the ways of Dearuhk thinking her the goddess of good. In this way he was a misled creature and was a sort of tragic figure in history amongst thousands of other tragic figures.

History
Early Infancy
Although his beginning is a fairly murky history, Fang met Arthur Nightstalker who was a Vampiric Dearuhk worshipper. After taking the infantile forgewrought, known as Rustback, under his wing he trained him in the ways of Dearuhk and the powers of darkness. He grew to think Arthur his father and would start to serve him unerringly thinking he was doing all that is good. He befriended two particular Dark Knights in the Nightstalker clan known as Hevill and Dominic. After a few raids Rustback, now known as Fang, joined the Olcas Mearog under Arthur as a Khaosweaver. Arthur so claimed "He (Fang) is like a son to me" as the Dark Knight ruthlessly did his will for the greater good. Fang also was Joe Romane's guard when he was captured and became enraged when Romane was released freely. He continued to with follow every order of Arthur's with out question or hesitation.
Mid Infancy
As his lingual skills improved he learned to write and speak in an eloquent fashion. In addition he had a small diary he would write his thoughts in:
- "Thy ears hath heard the cries of her Dark Majesty. I wonder sometimes, is it possible for my people to dream? Is it possible for my people to see visions? Prophecies? Omens? Perhaps mine form came from the will of her Dark Majesty. Skin of steel adorns my visage with a few revealed patches of cables... am I built for war?"
Fang started to question what he was doing, wondering if what he was doing was really for the good. He was getting closer and closer to realizing what he was doing was nothing but pure evil, slaughter, and destruction. Once he came to this realization he had an emotional crisis, although in his love for Arthur and Arwane, his father and his mother, his lord and his lady caused him to continue to follow their orders with out a moment's hesitation.
As the Culmination grew, so did Fang's power. He continued to search and fight for his father's approval.
Alignment
Fang has a complicated alignment which although it fights for the forces of Chaos and Evil, he tends to act in a way which is Lawful Good or at least what he thinks to be Lawful Good. In the end though he could be seen as an overwhelming force of Chaotic Evil alignment.
Recently though he had gained enough maturity to know what he was doing. Although his conscious battles him he continues to do the actions of Evil for his father figure. And his chaotic view has become that of a lawful view, obeying with out question although as much as he tries he always has second thoughts.

- Type: Divine
- Rank I: An improved healing spell. Long, nasty gashes or shattered bones that would normally put a warrior out of a fight can be patched quickly through application of this ability. However, the risk of reopening the wound is greater than ever, and proper medical attention and rest after casting is recommended. The chance of infection stands as well.

- Casting time: 1 turns. (1 time per day)
- Duration: N/A.
