Merraid Oarburgh

"My, my. Such intimate confidants. Could they be a couple...? If so, how sad. She's just my type. Girls really ought to go out only with girls. Don't charge down the wrong path."

- Merraid while spying on Gin and Natala.

"I am the fangs of the reaper of Oarburgh. My blade of death and I... ...Will pray for peace and order for you in the afterlife."
