→Population: grammar
==Population==
Almost all Escher are female, making them unique and perhaps the most strikingly different of the Houses of Necromunda. The few Escher males are physical derelicts; shrivelled shriveled and imbecilic, perhaps due to a genetic defect in the House bloodline, or the aftereffects of an alchemical plague which many believe was the same as that which decimated the population of [[House Aranthus]] several centuries ago and ultimately led to its downfall.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}} This physical dereliction may manifest as the males being born "simple, stupid, shameful slops of humanity." while "Most of them are stillborn born".{{Fn|10b}}
One notable exception to the physical derelict male population is [[Reiko Tori]], the twin brother of [[Bri Tori]] - the pair being the female and male offspring of [[Red Tori]] {{Fn|10b}} of House Escher (leader of the [[Wild Hydras]] gang). The twins "came from the same genesis cycle" and "... shared a womb and shared a hammock".{{Fn|10b}}
