Festus the Leechlord

The Leechlord of Nurgle has but one purpose: to bring ever more repugnant forms of life into the world.

Stalking the northern forests in moth-eaten robes clinking with vials of unimaginable concoctions is the muttering, shuffling figure of Doctor Festus. Once a prolific curer of plagues in Nordland, he made a desperate pact with Nurgle after encountering a strain of Gnashing Fever he could not stem. Thus the Plague God filled his brilliant mind with every detail of every ailment known to the mortal world, washing away his compassion and replacing it with an intimate knowledge of disease and a desire to experiment. Though his curative powers are greater than ever before, woe betide the fool who crosses the Doctor, who delights in force-feeding his latest creations to unfortunate victims.
