Raiders aren’t smart in general and Slit knew that. But he did know he had to be if he wanted to stay alive. Truly dumb raiders didn’t survive long. So he took up a habit of talking to captives before they were ‘handed’ out. He convinced them that he was a prisoner and that he’d help them escape if they taught him some stuff. Most fell for it but some didn’t. Those few soon found themselves under the harshest of raider entertainment.And so he learned the ways of the educated. He was no genius, but his life taught him to grasps things quickly or else lose them forever. It was because of this mentality that he never realized the things going on behind his back. The dumb raiders he lead had another stallion who was just as devious though only half as smart as him. That bastard, managed to nearly kill him.
Thats when he met Peppermint. He tried his usual tactic of walking past them as if he was no harm and stabbing them in the back. Only, Peppermint could smell the blood on him and bucked him before he could strike. Then she robbed him as he laid there bleeding to death. It was only when he said that there was a fun place they could go to, cause he could see the bloodlust in Peppermint’s eye. She agreed and they did have ‘fun’.
Slit is still a Raider leader. His group doesn’t pillage as much as before but they are still raiders. Due to him not actively ordering them to attack (Though he never told them that they weren’t allowed to rape and pillage), he is considered a former raider, hence his position in the ‘Formers’.
