[center][h2]General Description[/h2][/center]

[center]
[h3]Race[/h3]
Beastkin Demonspawn

[h3]Age[/h3]
50 years

[h3]Size[/h3]
While the Beastkin vary massively in their sizes, the Wildhorn towers above all. Standing around 12 feet tall and weighing around 1000lbs, his stature gives him an exceptionally terrifying appearance, especially combined with the multitude of long, curved horns sprouting wildly form his head.

[h3]Gender[/h3]
Male

[h3]Sexuality[/h3]
Heterosexual, although the Wildhorn breeds frequently and almost exclusively in order to spawn more Beastkin rather than for sexual pleasure.

[h3]Religion[/h3]
The Wildhorn is a loyal servant of his dark master, a powerful satyr demon named Ghadur. It is through meticulous dark sacrifice and ritual that Nraz'gagr gains the favour of his master and is granted dark magical powers. Ghadur has several champions scattered throughout the world, but none have been favoured as strongly as the Wildhorn and have such either come to follow him or are left fading into obscurity and weakness.
[h3]Job[/h3]
As the skilled commander of a huge and varied army, Lancelot has appointed the Wildhorn as a Centurion, charged with fighting on the front lines in any battle that arises. He is charged with protecting any fellow Knights of Evil should they join him in battle, and will be held personally responsible for any casualties should they be suffered.

[h2][center][b]Personality[/b][/center][/h2]
[indent]The Hordefather is as brutish as they come, unfeeling and ruthless. Nraz'gagr destroys humanity not out of hatred, however, but out of a sense of duty and purpose. An inspiring commander, the Wildhorn has successfully gathered and created armies to help him in his conquest, and as a result numerous scattered Beastkin herds now follow him under a single united banner. He is far from intelligent; quite the opposite really, not possessing any real knowledge of the world except that which his masters feed him. devout above all else, the Grand Chieftain lives his life by the dark omens and visions delivered unto him by demonic father, acting solely upon their wishes, almost autonomously. As a result, he has never really had allies or associates, acting on an independent basis in the interest of maintaining and growing his followers into a formidable and destructive machine.

Nraz'gagr is cruel and primitive, with bestial instincts and thoughts, prioritising survival as the next most important thing after destroying mankind. He possesses a crude and dry sense of humour, and often holds great feasts after victory, revelling in his holy glory and success. Having interacted scarcely outside of the confines of his own horde, he is lacking in people skills, and is quick to speak his mind with very little thought about what he is saying, leading to frequent offence. Vulgar habits and a tongue faster than his brain combine poorly to leave many seeing him as nothing but an ill-natured, unintelligent beast. While partly true, there is much more to the Wildhorn than many think at first glance.[/indent]

[h2][center][b]Biography[/b][/center][/h2]
[indent]The Hordefather was spawned almost instantly after Camelot's destruction. The power vacuum left by its fall created a wealth of opportunities for lesser beings to establish themselves as potent dark forces. One such being was a powerful satyr demon named Ghadur. Ghadur was a greedy and ambitious being, wanting nothing but power and notoriety. As such, he went about stamping his mark upon the broken world by spawning a mighty champion to represent him in the mortal plane. After several attempts were met with unsatisfactory levels of success, one of Ghadur's dark rituals finally gave birth to the abomination that is Nraz'gagr. The demon Ghadur shaped him as a more terrifying exaggeration of his own visage; a ghastly fusion of man and beast, rippling with muscles, resembling a demonic ram.

Ghadur favoured the Wildhorn above all his previous creations, and gave him the power to channel his demonic powers into the mortal plane through a variety of often bloody rituals and sacrifice. The wealth of power placed in his champion's hands was staggering; but only provided that he continued to make offerings to his master, and continue to serve his purpose. Perhaps the most important ability bestowed upon the Wildhorn was that which allowed him to expand his horde, by transforming both human and nonhuman victims into horrifying, twisted fusions of man and beast known as Beastkin.

Over the coming decades, the Grand Chieftain of the Beastkin preyed upon human settlements, taking their women as breeding stock to spawn more of Ghadur's horrifying creations, and turning their children into mindless Beastkin thralls to serve the Wildhorn's will. Over the years the Hordefather earned his title, giving birth to a teeming and ever-growing horde of twisted demonic beasts of all shapes, forms and sizes, ranging from living artillery beasts, the flying monsters, to small skirmishers. More recently some of the newly formed Beastkin have had mechanical mutations, allowing parts of their body to be transformed into new weaponry. Despite his previously fierce devotion to his master, Nraz'gagr has become aware that his master's ambitions are far from lofty, and while he continues to serve faithfully for the meantime, he ahs begun to wonder at what point he will be able to challenge Ghadur and free himself from his reliance on his master for power.

The Wildhorn has never communicated with the former knight of the round table, Lancelot. While he has heard of his allegedly immense power and capabilities, he has never dealt directly or indirectly with him until now. The Hordefather has no real interest in serving him as such unless it gives him a better chance of carrying out Ghadur's commands. If anyone, Nraz'gagr would like to see Ghadur become the Dark Lord, but is aware that his master would never be able to destroy Lancelot.[/indent]

[center]The Wildhorn is terrifying to behold. Somewhat resembling a mixture of a ram and a human, he has several distinct features that mark him out as a demonic entity. His fur is a dark brown colour, matted and messy. His mouth is lined with sharp needle-like teeth, ideal for ripping flesh from his victims. His eyes are blood red in colouration like his master Ghadur's. He has a mess of lighter brown hair hanging from his jaw that resembles a beard, often braided and decorated with small metal rings. Two long horns grow backwards from the crest of his skull, while two more grow from the sides of his head, curving like that of a goat. His entire body is covered in fur. At the end of each arm is a human hand, with long, sharp nails, while at the ends of his legs are two cloven hooves, allowing him to run at startling pace while also being dextrous.[/center]

The Wildhorn stands at a thoroughly intimidating 12 feet tall and is approximately a tonne in weight. Most of this is muscle it requires to carry his considerable frame and bulk, as well as a strong, thick skeleton. While he does wear some armour into battle, his skin is thick and leathery, providing a basic level of protection against small threats like human swords and arrows. In the place of armour, he oftentimes decorates his hide with jewellery and bone charms fashioned from the corpses of both his own people and his victims, as well as runes and tattoos painted in blood.

Here the Hordefather can be seen in battle, wearing a light armour covering on his lower half, and adorning his top half with a  necklace of skulls and teeth. His abdomen is painted with demonic markings. Tattered cloth draped over his head gives him a startling and frightening appearance as he bellows curses and ushers his warriors into battle.[/center]

[h2][center][b]Traits and Equipment[/b][/center][/h2]
[hider=Demonic Beastkin]
[indent]It is difficult to judge what traits are typical of this form of Demonspawn when they are so few and far between. Apart from possessing incredible strength and size, the Hordefather is able to breed with human females in a gruesome and fatal process that sees their mangled corpses used as incubators for more Demonspawn. As well as this, Nraz'gagr possesses a strong affinity for magic due to the demon's blood within him, but this is certainly not typical of all Beastkin.[/indent]
[/hider]
[hider=Spells]
[list]
[*] [b]Summon Plague[/b]
[indent][i]Nraz'gagr can channel the powers of pestilence and famine to devastate his foes and their settlements. A range of dreadful diseases can be called upon, not always entirely under the Wildhorn's control. Some are fatal, some kill livestock and crops, and others cause mental conditions like paranoia. In a few cases, the Hordefather afflicted entire besieged settlements with insomnia, and within a few days was able to breach the settlement and slaughter the fatigued garrison with minimal resistance.[/i][/indent]
[*] [b]Call of the Forest[/b]
[indent][I]The Wildhorn can call upon the powers of nature, using the woods themselves as both defences and weapons. He can manipulate the foliage to provide cover and protection to his men, and also to ensnare and disorientate the enemy, as well as calling upon the beasts of the forest to attack his foes.[/i][/indent]
[*] [b]Earthen Barrier[/b]
[indent][i]The Wildhorn can erect a temporary and far from indestructible barrier from the earth, particularly useful to provide cover on a charge over open ground, or the allow time to rally his troops in the case that they are caught off guard or ambushed.[/i][/indent]
[*] [b]Demonic Possession[/b]
[indent][I]The Wildhorn can target enemies and open their souls to be overtaken by lesser demons, turning them against their allies and ultimately transforming the victim into a thrall for the Hordefather's armies.[/i][/indent]
[*] [b]Bloodbomb[/b]
[indent][I]Primarily a scare tactic, the Grand Chieftain can take hold of a victim by the throat, and channel dark energy into them, effectively boiling a victim's blood to the point at which their body explodes. While this explosion is harmless, it coats the foes surrounding the victim in their ally's blood and innards, often greatly damaging opposition morale and causing less experienced soldiers to flee in terror.[/i][/indent]
[/list]
[/hider]
[hider=Strengths/Skills/Talents]
[list]
[*] [b]Demonic Shaman[/b]
[indent]The Wildhorn can call on a multitude of spells and curses through ritualistic sacrifice to Ghadur, his demon overlord. These powers can be devastating when used appropriately against the enemy.[/indent]
[*] [b]Mighty Warrior[/b]
[indent][I]The Wildhorn is a formidable foe on the battlefield. His immense strength and surprising swiftness allow him to wield an array of brutal weaponry with ease and skill, cutting down unworthy foes with ease. He generally favours fighting with an axe in one hand and his bladed staff in the other.[/i][/indent]
[*] [b]Inspiring Commander[/b]
[indent][I]The Hordefather commands a vast army of Beastkin. He is an intelligent and effective battle commander, able to inspire his soldiers to fight to the death for him. Although most are mindless thralls, even the greater beasts would lay down their lives for the Grand Chieftain if that was his wish.[/i][/indent]
[*] [b]Natural Protection[/b]
[indent][I]Although far from steel plate armour, the Beastkin possess a naturally thick and leather-like hide that protects them from most basic attacks, like human swords and arrows. Of course, more powerful attacks, like a ballista or a weapon wielded by a powerful foe, would penetrate with ease.[/i][/indent]
[/list]
[/hider]
[hider=Weaknesses]
[list]
[*][b]Primal Instincts[/b]
[indent]At his core, Nraz'gagr is a beast, and as such he possesses a beast's instincts. He often reverts to primal behaviour patterns, and demonstrates a lower level of intelligence than can be found in many other powerful beings, except as a battlefield commander.[/indent]
[*][b]Inner Conflict[/b]
[indent][I]Nraz'gagr is plagued by a crucial internal conflict. he is Ghadur's champion, and it is through Ghadur that much of his power flows. Yet the Wildhorn feels his time as a puppet is coming to an end, and soon he will be strong enough to usurp his master and become a strong independent force in the world. The matter of when, and if, to strike, is all he can think about.[/i][/indent]
[*][b]Technophobe[/b]
[indent][I]Aside from the black powder cannons that the Wildhorn has begun integrating into his forces, Nraz'gagr despises the advancement of modern technology. Unsure of how to work it, he fears that eventually his methods of 'traditional' battlefield warfare will soon become outdated and ineffective as powerful steam powered vehicles take to the field.[/i][/indent]
[*][b]Naivety[/b]
[indent][I]Nraz'gagr has very limited experience treating with allies. As a result, he is unaware of much of the common deception and backstabbing that takes place, making him vulnerable to manipulation by a more intelligent, experienced being.[/i][/indent]
[*][b]Vulnerable to Silver[/b]
[indent][I]As is the case with most demons, contact with silver causes searing burns and greatly weakens his magical prowess. It is rare that human soldiers wield silver weapons, but specialist demon hunter organisations and more powerful foes have the potential to greatly harm the Wildhorn.[/i][/indent]
[/list]
[/hider]
[hider=Equipment]
[list]
[*][b]The Great Horde[/b]
[indent]The most powerful tool at the Wildhorn's disposal, the Great Horde is a vast and varied army of Beastkin warriors and shamans that fight loyally for the Hordefather, Nraz'gagr. The horde contains a mix of troop types, from mindless footsoldiers, to flying creatures of varying size, to burrowing creatures that can tunnel under enemy emplacements, to gargantuan siege beasts, serving as living siege towers, battering rams and now cannon platforms. The horde will fight for their father to the last man need be. While overall the Wildhorn despises technology, he has begun to incorporate cannon and handheld throwing bombs into the horde's arsenal.[/indent]
[*] [b]Greataxe[/b]
[indent][I]The Wildhorn's unnatural strength allows him to wield a brutal greataxe as easily as others may wield a shortwsord. His proficiency with this crude yet effective weapon makes him a true force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.[/i][/indent]

[h2][center][b]Ghadur's Malice[/b][/center][/h2]
[center][img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/a9/3f/6c/a93f6c0925ffac42fee9dcab196148c7--fantasy-weapons-fantasy-staff.jpg[/img][/center]
[indent]Originally gift from Ghadur, bestowed upon the Wildhorn when he was chosen to be the demon's champion. Through this staff he can harness Ghadur's demonic powers to curse and plague his enemies, as well as inspire and protect his own soldiers. Embedded in the base of the staff is a sacrificial knife that Nraz'gagr uses to sacrifice his victims. Only by spilling blood with the staff can it gain the ability to channel Ghadur's powers. Of course, not all of the Wildhorn's powers are dependent upon this staff, but the most powerful and devastating abilities in his arsenal definitely are.

However, since his recruitment by Lancelot, the former knight has made some modifications to the staff. The powers promised to the Wildhorn included greatly strengthening his influential powers over mortals and allowing him to spawn stronger followers. However, what the Wildhorn doesn't know, is that Lancelot has corrupted Ghadur's influence over him, the cause of the Wildhorn's recent internal conflict. Lancelot believes he can turn the Hordefather away from his demonic master and into a puppet of his own.[/indent]

I hope to sort of add a guide to a lot of the traits and creatures of the Great Horde here, both to help myself keep track and inform others.
