Prometheus Skuleo, aka Theus aka Theo Ratskull aka Corpse-Looter aka Pest Who Gnaws the Roots of Power, is a Greek-American Were-Rat, and he's equally proud of both heritages. He's tired of "his people" being shat upon by everyone with power, and he intends to put a stop to it. He's a charming, deceitful little man who by all rights should be creepy as hell, yet exudes a strange charm. His work as a muck-raking underground reporter tends not to pay at all, or even cost him money, so he runs a profitable sideline in valuable information and fenced goods.
