Editing Kurdoss Valentian (section)

==History==
In life, he was a ruthless deceiver and master tactician that backstabbed his way to the throne of his home nation, even killing his own brothers to secure his rise to power. This would have been all well and good, but he made the fatal mistake any monarch that lived in/around the Age of Myth in [[Shyish]] could do; he did all this... AND chose [[Sigmar]] as his patron god. Needless to say, one thing [[Sigmar]] and [[Nagash]] would agree on is that Kurdoss was a scumbag who needed to go down (Sigmar over the former, Nagash over the latter).

So, to punish Kurdoss, Nagash struck the man dead at his own coronation ceremony - literally just before he was about to ascend to the throne. But even as little more than an angry wraith, he kept his nasty streak and was as deadly as ever. Ever the utilitarian, Nagash was impressed. But remember, this IS Nagash we're talking about, he doesn't recover from [[Butthurt]] that easily. And being snubbed in favor of Hammer-Boy caused a whole lot of that. So, he was condemned even further; he was forced to marry Lady Olynder.

One may initially think that being married to the Mortarch of Grief - essentially a Demi-goddess - would be a boon, if anything. This is until one remembers that Olynder is canonically the literal ''most whiny and miserable spirit in the realms''. She embodies pure misery. This marriage is so depressing that even [[Mannfred von Carstein|Mannfred]], ''the guy who blew up the Old World'', nearly found himself pitying Kurdoss. And on top of that, the marriage is yet another joke at his expense from Nagash; it puts him as close to rulership as possible without actually having it. [[Troll|Amazing]]. Naturally, he isn't too happy. He is literally so bitter about his fate, that he exudes an aura of spite so potent that it makes the words of ACTUAL generals and such choke in their mouths. [[Perturabo]] is suddenly feeling inadequate in terms of bitterness levels.

And he has even more of a reason to feel bitter as of late; when he and wifey went on a road trip to the Eightpoints to help their family friend [[Katakros]], he got temporarily destroyed and left to reform, presumably whilst Olynder worked with [[Be'lakor]]. Lately, he has been working within the Grieving Legion Procession, alongside [[Reikenor|Reikenor the Grimhailer]] and [[Awlrach|Awlrach the Drowner]], both of whom presumably gossip about him behind his back in the ecto-lunch hall. Oh, and there's also the whole "Craventhrone Guard" thing.
