A head as large as Droog himself lowered to his ear.
‘Establish a Rustler’s Guild.’ ‘What?’ ‘End your small-time enterprise and consolidate.’ ‘Why?’ ‘You will grow great and strong, and all the North will know your name.’ ‘Why are you telling me this?’ ‘Why, only because I care about you and want to see you triumph … darling.’
Bolgaroth is a 15-foot brute rudely exiled by the Shuttering just as the demonic larva was (27.05). His ambitions of being a schemer are frustrated by his size and sinister visage, but that has not stopped him from trying to set elaborate schemes in motion across the North.
