Why beans? And what makes them so dangerous? Nobody knows, and he certainly isn't telling. Best to be worried, just in case.

After centuries trapped in a prison of ice, Praznagar was freed into a world that was totally different from the one he had known before. Unable to fit in, he seemed destined to waste away his uniquely vicious talents in the unsatisfying Balloon Party Animals Circuit. That was, of course, until he chanced to see a Blood Bowl match. His mojo rekindled, he sought out a team worthy of his mettle. He couldn't fine one, so the Nefilim Fieldmice snapped him up instead, and made him their captain.

A big hit with fans an commentators, Skrit Sewer-Scuttle earned two MVP awards in his first two matches. Experts are convinced that Skrit is destined to go far, mainly because the little sod scampers away at the first sign of trouble.

He came out of nowhere, a filthy mercenary who hooked up with the Fieldmice when they were a rat short against Bionoghast. Thrown into the line as cannon fodder, the mystery rat not only survived, but thrived. The bloodied journeyman was signed up as a permenant team member, and hailed as The Dawnsqueeker. Well, it's better than Duane.

Biron isn't cut out to be a Blood Bowl player. He has an artistic soul. Unfortunatley, his poetry is utter drivel, and he has been forced into playing just to pay off his massive debts, and escape the bailiffs that have sold his wife into slavery and eaten his children.

Shiloh can't remember the day he joind the Fieldmice, but suspects it was done for a drunken bet. Now he's angry, but being weak and cowardly, he takes it out on opponents who are already down.

The embittered elder brother of a famous children's entertainer, Rattus Q Rattus (and he insists on the Q) intends to use his Blood Bowl career to eclipse his brother in fame and wealth, and so consign him to his own horrible history.
