Ranquin
fanatical
authoritarian
opportunistic
delusional
Ranquin commands the Swampies with absolute religious authority, wielding the myth of Kroll as both ideological spine and political cudgel. His zealotry brooks no dissent—he orchestrates sacrificial rituals with ritualistic precision, lights torches while invoking Kroll’s name, and denounces outsiders as savages to reinforce tribal unity. Convinced Kroll will shield his people, he brands caution as heresy and brooks no challenge, from the Doctor’s reasoned pleas to Varlik’s private skepticism. When divine favor wavers, his faith curdles into tyranny, prioritizing appeasement of Kroll over rational survival, culminating in his horrifying end when Kroll drags him into oblivion.
