HighRoller was once a happy court jester, laughing and playing games. But, in a typically arrogant move, he insulted the former Emperor of the Hidden Kingdom and was immediately cast from the great East Citadel. He wandered alone in the forest, brooding and learning to hate humans. As fate would have it, he was struck by lightning, and gained the ability to speak the language of animals. He quickly discovered animals great weakness for candy and bribed them with sweets. Many animals joined his cause and helped kick humans out of their homes and castles. Now animal kings and queens must pay homage to HighRoller and do his bidding. As the new Emperor of the East Citadel, HighRoller gets to do whatever he wants and what he typically wants to do is attack humans (or get animals to attack humans for him), eat candy and play games. In fact, HighRoller is a master of many folk games and these skills actually translate to the battlefield in dangerously unexpected ways. Combine this with the fact that he likes to play dirty, and HighRoller is a formidable opponent for even the most skilled members of First Squad!
