Memnaelar Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) So, I'm a relatively new player and haven't had the chance to deep-dive into the lore of Malifaux as much as I'd like, but I'm weirdly intrigued by the University of Transmortis. Have there been any actual appearances of Von Schtook (as opposed to letters, references, etc.) anywhere in Wyrd canon? I did a forum search and saw the "Leveticus is Albus!" fan fic (which seemed both hilarious and possibly dead-on) but otherwise, I have no idea if he's just a peripheral lore figure, potentially another Master in disguise, a possible future Master, etc. Anyone have any further information on him? edit: Corrected the spelling, redid the search, and it seems like there was a lot of speculation about him two years ago and that it's been a bit quiet lately. I take it nothing much new has turned up? I mean, if Wyrd *wants* to drop any new hints here, I'm not going to complain. ;-) Edited August 10, 2016 by Memnaelar see above 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 I don't think he was intended as a major player in the fiction. More of an interesting side character that they might trot out again at some point. I seriously doubt he will become a master though. It would be interesting to see some more of his 'students'. Maybe a new Upgrade called 'Went to school' or some such that gives that sweet action the other students have to deny triggers (or something else).

silicon_dioxide Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 There is a new story in Ripples of Fate with Von Schtook. He plays only a very minor part of the story, but you get a bit more insight into his "school". Of course there are also the letters he writes in the Transmortis box. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Bear Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Theres a lot of information on him and the school in the TTB book "Under Quarantine". He appears in person during the narrative Bestiary at the end where he attempts to forcefully matriculate a recently deceased Guild spy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it leaves very little doubt that that the Von Schtook and Leveticus are two different people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Leveticus is clearly different. He's an alternate dimension Rick. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nukemouse Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Albus Von Schtook is awesome and i wish he was a master. In fact it was my assumption based on the Academic tag that the new Ressur master would have been Von Schtook able to take Academics as undead, similar to Tara and Death Marshals, though ripples showed me i was wrong. Albus would make a wonderful master, but I'd just as gladly take him as a Henchman or anything really, he's one of my favorite characters in the stories.

Parker Barrows Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Oh. As presented, he's definitely a *Master. Honestly, I was hoping the same. Under Quarantine makes him look like Master level character or maybe even stronger. He is the Rezzer that is the biggest threat to Malifaux as a whole. I really want him, but I can see him being used as a greater threat (maybe a Nythera-like campaign where the winning faction takes him down?). I dunno. I just think he's awesome. *Then again, Hayderrin (spelling?) leads an army that proves to be a major threat to the entire Guild once they take down the Quarantine Wall. Pretty impressive for an Enforcer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I would disagree. As presented in the final story Anna is a master, and we all know she isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludvig Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 Levetirick!!! I have the old metal sculpt but no waifs so now I just need to make morty clones to play him. Changelings with the meaty parts painted as robot parts instead could work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzy Lovecraft Posted August 13, 2016 Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 Not Alice, Morty Waifs! He does tend to kill Morty's for his own selfish needs, and there's millions of parallel universe Morty's to choose from. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
