Death Dealer: Soothsayer Of Doom


New Blackwal Tarot Avatar: Death Dealer

When Lord Salforis learned that the nomadic tribes which sometimes skirted along the fringe of Blackwal had a chosen few who could see the future, he ordered his Carrion Harvesters to scour the realm until they found one. His shambling soldiers did as he asked and dragged the terrified woman before the Baron of Blackwal, who demanded the oracle tell him if he would live forever. The poor gypsy was confounded. It felt as though her own life was being stolen in the presence of Salforis, and every whisper from her divination told her the hulking brute of a man was already dead. When she finally found her voice and courage and said as much, Salforis was so enraged he called forth the grasping hands of his Undying. They tore at the oracle's flesh and soul, but Salforis would not let them pull the life from her completely until she told him what she saw when she sought the manner of her own death. Only when she screamed “This! Here!” did he grant her death, though it was a brief respite, for he immediately reanimated her corpse to serve as his personal soothsayer of doom.

Mangler: The Undead Engineer

Blackwal Engineer Avatar: Mangler

Lord Salforis has long experimented with necromancy and reanimation, but the fragility of dead flesh always has confounded him. When his Carrion Harvesters brought him the corpse of a Legion Engineer, the Baron of Blackwal saw an opportunity to augment his ranks of the undead with machinery that cannot be killed. The corrupted Mangler was born within the tombs of Blackwal, and the Legion will wish he'd stayed there.

Vindi the Gray: Join Your Master In Darkness!


Vindicator Avatar: Vindi the Gray

While many rely on steel and strength to bring war to the Hellbourne, the few remaining true wizards know that victory lies in adding a dash of sorcery and pipeweed here and there to counter the fell darkness wrought by the daemons and corrupted men. Vindi the Gray has used these time and again in his effort to assemble a fellowship of five who can work together without griefing or abandoning their key posts, but such a brotherhood is rare indeed...

Northman Werebear: Revenge WIll Be Mine!


Wildsould Alt Avatar: Northman Werebear

The Northman Werebear is a legend among Legion troops, a shape-shifting wildman whose entire race has been slaughtered by the Hellbourne. He now protects his parcel of the Forest of Caldavar with his ever-present wood ax-and if that doesn't work, he’ll summon his beloved pet bear to chase down and shred any trespassers. As for those who defy the ax and outwit the bear, the legend says, they get to face the savage Northman in his transformed state, a two-legged bear with the instinct of a primal beast and the vengeance of a broken hearted man.

White Orc Rampage: Know Your Place!


Rampage Alt Avatar:White Orc

While most Hellbourne warriors will gladly kill any Legion scum they encounter, the White Orcs of Krula, storming down the slopes atop their slavering, monstrous hyenas, have a special affinity for slaughtering the halfling warriors who dwell in the mountain forests surrounding the City of Iron. The two races share a long, lethal history of mountainous territory taken, reclaimed, and lost again to each other and the blood feud runs deep through the veins of both sides. The bravest halflings try to use this against the White Orcs, baiting them so fellow Legion soldiers can flank and kill the myopic riders, but unfortunately this has mainly resulted in a shortage of brave halflings.

Halfling Warrior: The Secretive Warrior


Scout Alt Avatar: Halfling Warrior

The secretive halfling warriors dwell in the remote mountain forests surrounding the City of Iron, and very few have been glimpsed since the beginning of the Second Corruption. They chose to withdraw further into their enclaves rather than join the battle, but the ever-encroaching Hellbourne, the arrival of Calamity and Sunder to possibly begin the Third Corruption, and the constant harrying from the White Orcs of Krula have compelled the bravest of these halfling warriors to venture forth and do what they can to bring peace to Newerth.

Invader Ravenor: You Are Outnumbered


New A.R.M.S Avatar: Invader Ravenor

The Invader Advanced Robotic Mobile Suits (or A.R.M.S.) have been hastily constructed in the Electrician's Laboratory in response to the Legion's discovery of the Savior battlesuits, and a select few Hellbourne combatants have been drafted into testing them against live fire.

Ravenor was an easy choice to be among the first wave -- if the Invader suit malfunctions and electrocutes its pilot, he won't even notice. Invader Ravenor is an augmented, evolved version of the Hellbourne Daemon Lord, and the enhancements to his lightning attacks may be enough to short-circuit the Legion's Savior campaign.

Capricorn: Destined To Win


New Limited Edition Avatar: Capricorn

Capricorn has always been helpful to those in need -- even if they happen to be Olympian gods. When the vengeful monster Typhon hunted Zeus, Hera, and Bacchus after the war with the Titans, Capricorn used his intimate connection with and control over the wild beasts to transform the gods into animals so they could escape. He turned Zeus into a ram, Hera into a cow, and Bacchus into a goat, then took charge of their flight paths to ensure survival. As thanks, the gods granted Capricorn a home in the heavens as well as a powerful human form with which he can continue to protect the victimized and oppressed.
