Lady Olynder

Ghost Boob

"OOOOOOOOOOOOoooooOOOOOoooo..."

– Lady Olynder, on basically anything.

The new girl on the skeletal block, Lady Olynder is the new Mortarch of Grief, and is the leader of the Nighthaunt Processions. Carrying all the despair in the realms due to her complete and utter apathy to the misery of others in life, she reeeeally hates the living.

History

In life, she was a Gold Digger's Gold Digger, scheming and sleeping her way to the top, where she married (and then quickly dispatched) the King of her nation, Dolorum. She wore a veil and cried a lot about it in public Victoria-style, yet the veil hid her shit-eating grin over how smart she was. She ruled like this for a few years, until the Age of Chaos came-a-knocking.

The forces of Nurgle quickly invaded Dolorum, but Olynder didn't care since she was all safe in her tower, partying away like the Masque of the Red Death. But this didn't last; the grandfather's forces eventually cornered Olynder in her throne room, and she tried to parley with them. This was when everyone's favorite Skele-Pope decided to intervene; Olynder had been pissing him off for a while, and she was gonna pay for it. He seized her soul and doomed her to haunt the ruins of her Kingdom for all eternity, feeling all the misery in the Mortal Realms as revenge for the fake tears she cried in life (one of the few times where the victim of Nagash's special brand of karma indisputably deserved it).

Naggy then proceeded to forget about her, until the Necroquake unleashed the Nighthaunt on the realms. He realized how spooky they were, but they needed direction to be truly efficient. He then hosted a Death equivalent of Dragon's Den to decide on who would be the new Mortarch. Lo and behold, he stumbled upon the ruins of Dolorum, finding that Olynder had organized a hugeass Ghost-Kingdom while he wasn't looking. And so, she became the Mortarch of Grief, marshaling the ghosties into the processions we all know and love.

While she was a good general, Olynder had a knack for going LEEEEEEEEEEEROOOOY, which nearly got her killed by a Bloodthrister in one battle until Nagash's other Mortarchs bailed her out. Nagash decided to give her an advisor and to that end she been betrothed to Kurdoss Valentian, which Nagash also used as a cruel joke at both of their expenses. Since then Olynder has actually shown off some prowess in the siege of Lethis, where she managed to actually kill the Celestant-Prime, who until then had proven to be a deus ex machina in every situation, and free an ancient evil.
