Jerzy the Walking Corpse - Plague Carrier


Jerzy is the only survivor of the Burning Pox that laid waste to the town of Reglerhof – although you wouldn't think it to see his skin. He remains covered in painful sores and pus-filled buboes; testament to the unnatural origins of that feared disease.

Jerzy wandered from settlement to settlement, relying mostly on sympathetic people or particularly pious priests for food and shelter. Ending up in Brigandsburg, Jerzy will join with any warbands who are brave enough to remain in close contact with him for any length of time.

He once encountered an acolyte of a mysterious god who gifted him with a simple amulet made of pitted metal, he doesn't know much about the god, but he has found that a prayer to 'the Grandfather' while clutching the amulet reduces the pain from his sores and reinvigorates his tired muscles.


I picked up this random Leper miniature from the old Citadel C46 Villagers range.

    1. It was a totally random eBay pickup years ago - I didn't pay the current going price though! :O
