Forces of the Gravediggers

The newest lore update just dropped in the app, and it’s a deep dive straight into the trenches.

Forces of the Gravediggers brings fresh insight on every warcaster, warjack, and more — get to know what drives these brilliant tacticians and the engines of war they command. Whether you're fielding them or facing them, it’s intel you can’t afford to skip. No spoilers!

Okay, here’s a spoiler anyway:

Rosko’s warcaster talent manifested in her late childhood, about the same time she first met her father. Almost immediately after their first meeting however, Rosko was abducted by the Cryxian forces, led by warwitch Deneghra. Deneghra intended to condition Rosko into a living weapon of the Nightmare Empire, and would have succeeded had Caine and the Hellslingers not rescued Rosko and returned her to Cygnar.
