You shall have to read his background, he's not mutated.

BTW, many thanks for finally giving us some sub-50k inducements.

You're welcome. I thought it overdue.

OK - I'm a bit late realizing this but:
In Spike 1 Chaos lost the star player(s) Brick Farth and Grotty.
In Spike 2 Dark Elfs lost Ithaca Benion.

Are we to assume that the other teams also lost these stars - i.e. the stars "retired"?

There are quite a few Stars that won't be returning. Some we might be saving for the future, others we might simply have decided not to use for various reasons.

[plasmoid]

I get that
The question was more: So Brick (and Grotty) and Ithaca have also stopped playing for the other teams that they used to be playing for?
Or have they just stopped playing for Chaos Chosen and Dark Elfs?

They aren't part of this edition, they aren't printed in any of our source material. Use them if you wish, but until we print the rules for older edition Stars for use in the current edition, they aren't current.

Having read Spike 2 more thoroughly now, I have another question:
Regarding the ehe Weather Mage: it states that the result can be modified be either plus or minus 1 or 2.
So not +0?
And is the modifier chosen before the roll or after? I'd assume after?

The effect lasts until your next turn Begins - (and can be voided by a Kick-off roll of Change the Weather) - so I'm assuming that the effect can carry over the end of a drive, or even the end of a half?
It appears to me that Weather Mage is a decent weapon against one turn score for just 30K.
I mean Blizzard, Pouring Rain and Very Sunny (not so much Sweltering Heat) could all mess up an OTS.

Sweltering heat could remove the Troll from an Orc team, thus negating the 1-turn TD!
