Shank

Shank the Clank was a Mekboy in Waaagh! Big Zag.[1a]

Though a skilled engineer, Shank was not above disreputable business practices; he sold the same Warbike to many different customers, causing significant animosity towards himself and between the indignant Orks.[1a]

Shank met the Painboy Stimma when a Shokk Attack Gun accident left the Mek with his assistant's body in his chest cavity. Stimma's intervention left him in excellent health, benefiting from the additional organs.[1a]

Stimma commissioned Shank to create him a Killa Kan to serve as his Red Gobbo for an Ork-controlled revolushun, in exchange for reaping a harvest of scrap from numerous soon-to-be dead Orks. Shank crafted a top-notch machine; the only problem was that it was certainly a lot more like a Warbike than a Kan.[1a]

After a beating and a good few crossed words, Shank eventually turned out a mighty beast, which was christened Da Red Gobbo Too, into which a little one-eyed runt named Footspike was interred. Exuberant as he was, little Footspike did not immediately launch a revolushun, being more concerned with seeking revenge on those that had done him wrong.[1a]

Eventually Shank was cut down by his own creation, during Karanos' Grot Revolushun.[1b]
