Happy to have free will and life again, Lorka swore his forces to the Proditkar Movement's own, and effectively rerouted his troops, weakening the Grox forces stationed on his homeworld of Ugandalore.

After the war, Lorka would take time to effectively rework and re-manage his empire and military, making a more stream-lined, more organized command system, making his forces no longer the savage shadow of the Ugandals, but a vicious, organized force, based off manipulation and guerilla warfare.

With this, the Proditkar happily began using their elite new warriors in battle.

The Ruins Hand is run by the Cano Clan, just as much a family as it is a Kin group. The all together leader of entire Dead Watch Operations is the Overmaster. Whether he is part of the Clan or not does not seem important, only that he bee the finest military man of the empire.
