Wraith Stalker

"Release the hounds."

Corruption, horror, and foulness are synonymous with Dire Wraiths yet no caste embodies this more than Wraith Stalkers. These beings are not true Wraiths but human beings infected with Wraith magic and DNA that has warped their minds and physical forms into feral hunting dogs for the Wraiths.
