Job
As High Minister of the Catacombs one would think that Killdeer is always very busy and works alot. This is not true. Instead he eats and drinks to his heart's content, orders around and abuses other rats, including his sister and rests on throne.He leaves almost all of his work to his second in command, Billycan. Killdeer, enraged and humiliated by banishment years before, ambushed the High Minister Trilok and stole his silver pendant, claiming himself the new High Minister. He also snuffed out Trilok's key defenders, the leaders of the Trilok loyalists. He did this at the perfect time. A flood called The Great Flood struck the Catacombs from the sewer and Killdeer said they had drowned.
