Beshilu Thisrah; Rat Host of Unrest

• more detail on Beshilu; the Rat Host
• Thisrah; the great prophet
• Plague King; the Great Rat
• Rat Scripture; the Book of Broods

If the amount of time the figure is referred to is any indicator, the most important figure in the Rat Scripture, even more than the Plague King (“the Great Rat”), is Beshilu Thisrah (“Rat Host of Unrest”), or just Thisrah, which seems, from the bits that Uratha who care to know have pieced together, to have the role of some sort of avatar, or possibly a favored son or prophet, of the Plague King.

Thisrah was, apparently, the bringer of the Great Plague — the rats’ Great Triumph — to Britain in 1665. At some point, Thisrah was martyred by the Wolves, but escaped and shall come again. Whether Thisrah shall return as an individual, or as the result of the joining together of all the Rat Hosts in the British Isles, seems to be a matter of some difference among the Ministers themselves, which, like the hellfire Protestants they echo, are prone to schisms and splits.
