Genlock (variation)

Most numerous of the darkspawn, the stocky, tough Genlocks are notoriously difficult to kill. The few stronger and more intelligent Genlocks are the alphas. The alphas are the generals and commanders among the darkspawn armies. While many common Genlocks possess a resistance to magic, the most intelligent of the alphas become gifted sorcerors, with many abilities akin to blood magic. These are the emissaries and they usually only appear during a Blight to watch that the commanders and generals serve the archdemon's interests and not their own.
