Lore & Background
He is a fearsome fighter who can cut enemy units to pieces, and he has been fought to a standstill only once, by the Chaos champion Crom the Conqueror; that outcome is partly explained by the mauling his army took, whose survivors fled and left him alone on the field. Between wars he hunts Skaven in their tunnels, never realising how often he comes close to their Hell Pit, and he leaves only when he tires of the killing, coming back whenever the urge to explore and kill returns. The Red Eye Mountain orc Borgut Facebeater impressed him enough to serve directly under him instead of being killed as a rival.
