Awakened dwarf saboteur captured by Architect Houston, tortured, and mercy-killed by Juice Box.
Arief draws his curved blade in the middle of a Larracos street and swears that when the fighting starts he will have his revenge against Architect Houston. The reason: Houston, a Viceroy outworlder leading The Madness, caught Arief's brother as he attempted to sabotage their fortifications.
They say the brother was tortured before Juice Box infiltrated the camp and ended his suffering. He is a casualty of the awakened sabotage campaign that bloodied every enemy encampment and breached every inner circle except the Naga's and Houston's Operating Theater — and the reason Arief's grief is now aimed at one specific masked man.
The sabotage-campaign casualty whose torture drives Arief's vendetta against Houston.
