Description (Specifications)

The Roth Thokken are a distinct Vargr subspecies (not merely an ethnicity). The Roth Thokken are psionic from birth and born blind.

Very early in the First Vargr Diaspora, the Roth Thokken were the first wave of ostracized Vargr -- those not fitting the perceived normal phenotype of the species -- to leave Lair forever. The Roth Thokken vector sent them to the coreward-trailing Angfutsag Sector where they were forgotten until rediscovered by the Suedzuk Vargr after the latter were themselves marginalized for their infamous behavior at the Sack of Gashikan in -1658.

History & Background (Dossier)

The Roth Thokken are among the Tsekhaerz -- "small races", a term of dismissal used by mainstream Vargr. A more derogatory term often used is ilksangerz, effectively meaning "strange races" or "alien races".

During the first two centuries of the Third Imperium's contact with the Vargr, the Imperium only encountered the Roth Thokken once, describing them in appearance much as the "Kokosha" [sic], though somewhat smaller, and completely blind. Instead, they were described by the Imperials of the time as relying completely upon various psionic powers, including "hideous mental attacks and mind possession techniques" previously unknown to Imperial science. Those researchers likewise claimed -- or had come to the conclusion -- that the Roth Thokken had developed these powers as a part of a "barbaric history" involving a bloodthirsty religion that they still followed fervently at the time of writing.
