A thug, @, is a Rogue quest guardian.

Encyclopedia entry

A worshipper of Kali, who practised _thuggee_, the strangling
of human victims in the name of the religion. Robbery of the
victim provided the means of livelihood. They were also
called _Phansigars_ (Noose operators) from the method employed.
Vigorous suppression was begun by Lord William Bentinck in
1828, but the fraternity did not become completely extinct
for another 50 years or so.
In common parlance the word is used for any violent "tough".
