{{NecromundaPortal}}
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a powerful [[Orlock]] [[Road Boss]] who lives on the planet [[Necromunda (planet)|Necromunda]].{{Fn|1}}

===Biography===
[[Image:SlateMini.jpg|thumb|right|220px|{{PAGENAME}} with [[Macula]].{{Fn|1}}]]
A member of [[House Orlock]], Slate is the leader of the [[Sump Dogs]]; under his command they have become one of the hardest Necromundan [[gang]]s to ever ride the ash roads of [[Hive Primus]]' [[Spider Points]]. The Sump Dogs also control a dozen of the Hive's [[Ash Gates]] for their House and this has led Slate to become a shining example of Orlock leadership.{{Fn|1}}

Adding to his legend is Slate's reputation for being nigh-unkillable, having survived bullets to the chest, blades between the shoulders and even being thrown under the wheels of his own rig. Because of this, the mere sight of Slate and his faithful [[Cyber Mastiff]], [[Macula]], are enough to send the Sump Dogs' enemies running, lest they end their days as a mile-marker on the Spider Points, like so many before them.{{Fn|1}}
