Karnak the Tomb Guardian


New Gold Collection Amun-Ra Avatar: Karnak the Tomb Guardian

The fortune hunters of The War Effort have been exploring areas of Newerth untouched for centuries, and when one expedition descended into the pitch-black tombs hidden beneath the Great Waste they found something waiting for them. Karnak the Tomb Guardian had stood watch over his dead master as generations lived and died in the world above, and his mission is simple: prevent anyone from stealing the riches that would ensure his master's prosperity in the afterlife. Good luck to the explorers who try to make him fail.

New eSports Community Winner Madman Avatar: Madcat Madman

MadCat was once a part of Boxi's household and lived the life every house cat dreams of. Through a glitch in the latest HoN patch she was sucked through his monitor and into the world of Newerth. Scared and confused, she stumbled upon a tribe of monkey couriers and was taken to the Monkey King for judgement. One look into her precious eyes was enough. The Monkey King kept her as his loyal companion, training her to become one of the most formidable warriors -- and snugglers -- of Newerth.

Construction Worker Behemoth


New Holiday Edition Labor Day Behemoth Avatar: Construction Worker Behemoth

Even the earth-shakers and wall-breakers need a day off, so the Behemoth Union has it in their contract that a few times a year they get a long weekend away from rebuilding the walls, towers, and barracks destroyed by the Hellbourne. The foremen Engineers actually appreciate this downtime on the job site -- they keep telling the Behemoths that iron girders aren't supposed to be used as hammers and fissures aren't up to code when it comes to running drain systems -- and the holiday allows the Engineers to repair most of the damage done by their work crews. But come Tuesday, it's back to the grind...

Rocky: Chuck The Villains


 Hotshot Heroes Pebbles Avatar: Rocky

Rocky is the solid foundation of The Hotshot Heroes, an even-tempered, contemplative advocate of talking things through with his team's adversaries, who he refuses to call "villains." They might just be misunderstood, frustrated people with good intentions. But if they pose a legitimate threat to the innocent masses or his fellow Hotshots, Rocky will not hesitate to chuck them into orbit until they calm down a bit.

Hotshot Heroes Gauntlet Avatar: Mr. Marvelous

Mr. Marvelous is the self-appointed leader of The Hotshot Heroes, and though he might occasionally grapple with the other egos in the squad as they battle the forces of evil, his over-the-top personality and constant bravado soothe the public into believing they are safe as long as their lives are within the protection of his massive fist.

Surf Wraith



Sunburn Bay Sand Wraith Avatar: Surf Wraith

The only thing worse than being a murderous spectre of the Great Waste is fighting hand-to-hand with sand in your shorts. This is one of the many reasons the Sand Wraiths love their time at Sunburn Bay, where they can shed their heavy black robes, forget the curse of the desert for a while and hang ten...or whatever they have for toes...and wash the grit out of their groins.

Lifeguard Kane: Water Safety

 
Sunburn Bay Kane Avatar: Lifeguard Kane

Kane is usually obsessed with ending lives, but when he's on vacation he's all about water safety and proper SPF application. (This is absolutely because he wants to be the one doing the killing—why should the sea and sun have all the fun?) So if you find yourself getting waylaid out of the surf or called out for some one-on-one safety instructions, just go with it and be glad he doesn't give you CPR. Bad breath doesn't take a vacation.

Beach Babe Valkyrie: Beach Babe


New Sunburn Bay Valkyrie Avatar: Beach Babe Valk

Sunburn Bay is a beacon of warmth and relaxation for the Valkyries of the Frost Fields, who go months at a time without seeing the sun and will die within seconds if they touch the frigid waters of the Boreal Sea. The vacationing males certainly don’t mind these Nordic warriors shedding their bulky plate and mail for holiday bikinis, but they are baffled that the armor stats don’t decrease too...

Skrap: The Cunning Scavenger

New Legion Intelligence Hero: Skrap the Scavenger

 Skrap is a cunning scavenger from the Seradati Plains who once roamed the desolate landscape gathering carrion to feed himself and occasionally sell in the rare event he encountered another living thing. Now he hoards every daemon carcass he can find to nourish his destructive, ravenous pet Vorax in the war against the Hellbourne. Skrap prefers to skulk along the edges of combat, harassing the enemy and harvesting their remains until he has enough to feed Vorax, who revels in charging forward and demolishing everything in its path.

Cirque du Silhouette


New Silhouette Avatar: Cirque du Silhouette

-Cirque du Silhouette was trained daily from a young age by the finest performers of the Divine Coterie to dazzle audiences with her stunning acrobatic skills. She did not know her artistry was also a lethal combination of finesse, balance, and strength until she had to use her tightrope walking and knife throwing to escape a Hellbourne ambush. Since that day, she has made more fans by skewering daemons than by dangling and spinning from aerial ribbons, but with her elite skills, why not do both at the same time?

New Independence Day Holiday Edition Scout Avatar: Continental Rebel

For too long, the damnable Redcoats have taxed our Goblin Coins without allowing representation! We tried throwing their tea into Blind Man's Harbor, but all they did was drink our ale and institute the Hut Act, demanding we allow enemy soldiers shelter in our homes! Intolerable! Now we will amass arms and fight back! But we must be wary, patriots--the Redcoats can outnumber and outspend us at every junction--so we must employ hit-and-run, ambush tactics to thin their ranks. Don't let them see you until it's too late, then show them your full patriotism in a cloud of musketry!

We will bring them to their knees with overwhelming numbers, discipline and volley fire, and when they beg for mercy and a chance to rejoin our glorious Empire we will demonstrate the primary trait of a supreme nation: ruthlessness!

The Twins have spent eons observing Newerth from the heavens, gathering information and sharing it with each other in an endless debate over whether they should intervene or not. After the Second Corruption they finally agreed it was time to descend and join their fellow Zodiac signs in the attempt to save the planet from destruction, and their amassed knowledge allows them to adapt for any combat situation, day or night.

Master of Arms Black Legion Avatar: Waru

Waru may be the most valuable member of the Black Legion (except for Unum, if you happen to be bleeding out at the moment). He can switch from blistering covering fire to accurate kill shots without breaking stride, and when Quintan's ax gets dull from cracking too many skulls or Troika's flamethrower sputters out, it's Waru who pulls a replacement from his pack to keep every member of the Black Legion in the fight. It doesn't matter to Waru who gets the kills as long as they happen on the enemy's side.

The Predators were suspicious of the shiny, noisy Advanced Robotic Mobile Suits and what benefit they might serve when bone claws, spikes, and a stone hide had worked so well against man, and now daemon. Then the Engineers showed them what a captured Hellbourne Invader suit was capable of -- slicing through tooth, claw, and stone with ease -- and the Predators knew they would have to do what they've always done: adapt, evolve, and kill everything in front of them.
