The Characters

In 1807 Darkwatch Brigadier General Edvard Wagonbach issued a Darkwatch priority Class 5, to the capture and interrogation of one of the undead legion of suicide bombers unofficially known as �Keggers�. Extensive efforts were made to cripple the Kegger with a long range weapon, then extinguish all explosive materials before detonation. What Darkwatch regulators discovered is that a crippled Kegger, even one crippled by a non-fatal injury, would fall lifeless, and they�d find themselves attempting to interrogate an empty husk. If regulators pretended to take their attention off the creature, it would re-animate and renew its attack.

It wasn�t until 1837 that an anonymous agent in the Darkwatch Countermeasures Division made an important connection. At every instance of battle with a Kegger, a Nightmare, or a Nightmare lair was often found at a close proximity. It is currently hypothesized that Keggers are in fact unwilling puppets of the far more dangerous Nightmares. Because they lack the ability to think for themselves, Keggers become the perfect undead familiar; tenacious, bold and egoless. The Kegger will charge toward an advancing enemy, its body strapped with explosives, the rictous grin stretched across its face a clear sign of its master�s felo-de-se intensions.
