Gakta

Gakta are one of the Slave Races created by the Flesh-Angels and the Accursed for the Dark God's use in battle. They are also the most numerous of the Slave Races.

Appearance
Gakta stand at the shoulder of an average man; their skin is pale and silver in colour, with no hair. They have grotesque faces, and express pleasure in the act of killing. Their eyes are generally black, red or dark purple. Their blood is indigo in colour.

Characteristics
They are ruthless, fast and brutal in battle, and terrifyingly efficient while under the Dark God's control. When not, they will still slaughter their enemy, but not as willingly.

Population
Gakta population has fluctuated wildly over the ages. In the First Wars, the Hordes of the Dark God could number in the hundreds of thousands. During the First Calamity, this number was even greater, and in the Battle of Um'taran, nearly five million were summoned. Even now, Gakta infect the north and are great in number.
