Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Such is the 'life' of The Gatemaster, a powerful demon noble, embodying a long lost word that means both to lock and unlock, to open and to close. Although their powers are great, and their loyalty can be instrumental in achieving many great things - they themselves can never use their own portals to leave the infernal realms to which they are bound. But there are always fell rumours that there might be a way. It is best not to try to contemplate what might happen should the Gatemaster be released... Instinct: To free/imprison

• Lock or Unlock literal or even figurative locks or seals with but a gesture
• Open portals to anywhere, even other planes, with ease
• Spill forth minions from many portals
• Seal the planar fabric against travel to or away from their presence by will alone

These rat-like dragon-kin prefer to strike from range using special alchemical ammunition to hamper their foes by setting them on fire, gluing them in place, and many other nasty little surprises. To make matters worse, spotting one of these little slingers is just an indication more kobolds are nearby - and if more are near than a mighty dragon may not be far. Instinct: To serve dragons

• Sling Alchemical bullet
• Lay a Trap
• Call on dragons or draconic allies
