==Significant Personage Of Warhammer== * '''[[Sigmar|Sigmar Heldenhammer]]:''' Born some random tribesman, <s>Conan</s> Sigmar united the squabbling human tribes in what would become known as the Empire and killed a ton of Orcs. Saved some random-ass dwarf after this and the Dwarf High King gifted him Ghal Maraz, a super-duper powerful warhammer. Also the dwarfs helped him defend Black Fire Pass from a massive WAAAGH!. He was the first Emperor of the [[Empire]], but he got bored and disappeared on a journey to find something interesting to do. The Empire canonized him as a god, and today the Church of Sigmar is the largest and most powerful faith in the Empire (although only one among many). Some believed him to be one of the missing [[Primarch]]s, given how badass he was, but this has been disputed by newer [[fluff]] detailing his birth and family life. Returned during the End Times, and there was much rejoicing. * '''[[Karl Franz]]:''' This guy is the current Emperor of the Empire. He owns Ghal Maraz now, as well as the biggest motherfucking <strike>Hippogryph</strike> Gryphon, named DEATHCLAW, who he rides while [[rape|assraping]] bitches who try to invade Imperial soil. And he has a fucking dragon. As of [[The End Times]], he was missing, but returned, was killed, and became [[Awesome|Sigmar-Jesus]]. * '''Magnus the Pious''': Greatest Emperor since [[Sigmar]]. Also one of the few who wasn't morally bankrupt. * '''Marius Leitdorf''': Elector Count of Averland. He was a military genius and a competent ruler much loved by his people, but alas, he was also insane. He was a good friend and steadfast ally to the emperor and a constant annoyance to Kurt Helborg, whom Karl Franz sent to reign in the wildest of Marius's ideas. He gave his life in an act of suicidal bravery charging the Orc warlord at the Third Battle of Black Fire Pass, but he lives on in the hearts of all those who harbor extreme and irrational hatred for halflings. * '''Volkmar the Grim''': Grand Theogonist of the Empire. Quite a stern faced fellow; he was once chained up to a daemonic standard by [[Chaos Gods|Be'Lakor]], but simply [[Awesome|broke himself off, murdered the daemons surrounding him, and marched through the Chaos wastes to get back to the Empire]]. <s>[[Derp|This has since been retconned]].</s> Not according to Chris Wraight's Sword of Vengeance. As reward for his sheer badassery, he gets captured by Mannfred von Carstein and is tortured until he is a mere shell of his former self. Arkhan the Black then uses his body as the vessel in which Nagash returns to the world in a ritual so sickening that even Mannfred feels bad for him. Truly grimdark. * '''[[Gotrek & Felix]]''': Adventuring duo, have a lot of books based on them. Gotrek is a dwarf Slayer who is terrible at his job, because between his magic super-axe and ''insane badassery'' he's nigh-unkillable. If there is more than two of something, Gotrek has probably killed one. Felix is some random bard who found a sword that really wants to kill dragons somewhere. Together, they <strike>fight crime</strike> look for something powerful enough to finally kill Gotrek. Gotrek tolerates Felix traveling with him because he needs someone to pen the mighty tale of his epic doom. In recent times their relationship has evolved to more of a bromance and they trust each other completely. While he's not in it for the chicks, Felix goes through them at a rate of 1-2 per two books. * '''Kurt Helborg''': Captain of the Reiksguard and [[Ultramarines|second to the Emperor]] in military terms. Also a badass moustache. * '''Ar-Ulric Valgeir''': The Viking leader of the Cult to Ulric, the [[Spaaaaaace Wolves|wolf god]]. * '''[[Boris Todbringer]]''': The Elector Count of Middenland and strong contender for Best Hat in the humanoid category. * '''Luthor Huss''': Crazy-ass preacher. [[Awesome|Gives the middle finger]] to those fat, political fuckwits of the Sigmar cult in the capital and takes the "fight Chaos to death" thing personally... with a huge hammer. * '''[[Balthasar Gelt]]''': Empire Wizard, looks like Dr. Doom. Rides a white pegasus and wears such gaudy clothing that Lady Gaga looks frumpy by comparison. Possibly Elton John without the singing voice. * '''Valten''': Reincarnation of Sigmar. Got ganked by a Skaven, probably Snitkch, but the lack of gore makes it hard to tell. RETCONNED! Now he is very much alive, and keeping the forces of the empire from being completely buttfucked by Archaon. Sad news is that he still got ganked by Skaven. At least this time, he was sniped by a Verminlord while honourably dueling Archaon. * '''Louen Leoncour''': King of [[Bretonnia]]. Believes in the Feudal system. Also believes that a 300% tax rate for the peasantry promotes economic growth, knights are morally infallible, guns are weaker than bows, people of the Empire prefer a system of governance that emphasizes crushing their hopes and dreams, and that a pig and 12 Bretonnian coppers (which exchanges for less than half an Empire copper on a good day) is an excessive reward for saving his nation. In the same support group for ludicrous theme naming as [[Canis Wolfborn]]. * '''[[Lady of the Lake]]''': Creepy cannibal spirit of Bretonnia. A fine piece of ass regardless of diet. May be an elf in disguise. * '''[[The Green Knight | Green Knight]]''': Bretonnian Holy Warrior and professional ass rapist. In the End Times he is revealed to be Guilles de Breton, founder of Bretonnia and basically their version of Sigmar. * '''[[Katarin the Ice Queen]]''': Tzarina of Kislev. One of maybe a handful of people in the setting who can use Ice Magic. * '''[[Teclis]]''': Mage of the High Elves. Pathetic weakling that drinks magic potions like an alcoholic and falls over in a breeze, although he's also one of the few non-Slann mages capable of nuking cities. Considered a Mary Sue by some but they are mistaken, his brother Tyrion is the Mary Sue. Teclis also taught the Empire how to use magic and founded their fancy colleges, being one of the few elves to realize and respect the potential of non-elves. Eldrad - dickery = Teclis. According to his cameo in the Gotrek and Felix series, most elf women are so-so towards him (being haughty bitches), but human women are wet for him. Becomes extremely morally grey in the End times and essentially sacrifices his niece to Mannfred to allow Nagash to return, showing that he is very capable of Eldrad levels of dickery. * '''[[Tyrion]]''': Teclis' twin brother and a fuckawesome warrior. May in fact be aroused by killing; it's hard to tell because he won't stop to answer questions. Also happens to be a bigger Mary Sue than [[Kaldor Draigo]] and a bigger dick than [[Eldrad]]. For instance, in 'Blood of Aenarion' he matches veteran warriors with a blade even though he's young and barely practiced himself. Women flock to his bed ([[FATAL|including his own cousin]]) and everyone treats him like a hero even though he hasn't done anything heroic yet (being a descendant of one doesn't count, you have to earn it). Also has the supposed flaw of not being good at anything outside of war. "Supposed" because the flaw never affects him when it should harm him. Matt Ward, of all people, reduced his Mary Sueness a little by making him moody and giving him a short temper as early signs of Aenarion's curse. * '''[[Ariel]]''': God Queen of the Wood Elves, revealed to be fucking Isha herself who was slowly wasting away as her daughter [[Lileath]] poisoned her with magical ice. Had fairy wings. * '''[[Orion]]''': Consort King of the Wood Elves, revealed to be [[Kurnous]] AKA the father of all Elves and the wild manly forest beings. Rides through Bretonnia every summer and kills everybody who runs from him because... reasons! Looks like the child of a centaur and a satyr. * '''[[Thorgrim Grudgebearer]]''': Dwarf High King, very angry. Very angry indeed. He carries a book called "The Great Book of Grudges", where EVERY single fault aganist the [[Dorf]] people (THAT'S GOIN' IN THE BOOK, LADDIE!) is noted and taken into account when the time of skullcrushing comes, hence his angriness. He wants to avenge them ALL, and sort of cheats at it by considering all the Grudges fulfilled in the last battle between Chaos and the world it was consuming. * '''[[Josef Bugman]]''': Dwarf brewer and 200% Awesome. After his brewery got burned down by some goblins he began an impossible mission to kill the tribe that decided the world didn't need anymore Bugman's XXXXX. Now he roams the world with his surviving employees and family fucking shit up. His booze is literally legendary, and possession of some is about on-par with having a giant magical sword forged by a Chaos God's buttcrack or what have you. * '''[[Grombrindal]]''': The [[White Dwarf]] (yeah, he's the mascot of the Magazine). A mysterious warrior who was apparently friends with pre-charbroil Malekith and now fights endlessly against the enemies of Dorfkind by just appearing and helping out randomly. Like Kaldor Draigo, but as an undead instead of a mortal lost in the Warp. * ''' [[Long Drong's Slayer Pirates|Long Drong]]''': A Dorf pirate who was apparently important enough to get a unit, a part in the [[Awesome|all-destroying dwarf army of slayer flavoured-doom]]. He even got his own campaign book for God's sake! Why?! * '''[[Lord Mazdamundi]]''': Most powerful and influential [[Slann]] alive, unnecessarily rides on a dinosaur and gets the bloated toad-alien equivalent to a raging hard-on every time he nukes a city and/or non-Lizardmen species into dust. Leads the Lizardmen equivalent of the KKK and was one of the brilliant minds behind a plan for a redecorating of the world's volcanic system, this also resulted in the Dwarfs being marginalised close to the point of extinction. And then he fapped to it. * '''[[Lord Kroak|Venerable Lord Kroak]]''': Most powerful and influential Slann formerly alive. Most powerful magic-user of the entire setting after the gods themselves, he has been dead for thousands of years and can't even move by himself. His corpse is taken into battle because he is made of localized nuclear explosion and levels cities pretty much every. fucking. turn. Probably the most powerful entity because even being a [[Emperor|dead, inanimate corpse,]] he has killed more shit than anyone else on this list, except for maybe Nagash, even then it's too close to make a call, except that he probably will kill Nagash if they meet and would just blink the guy out of existence if they had met when he was alive. He also gets bonus points for not having actually been reanimated, vampirised or any other kind of weird back from the death shit. He is straight up dead. And his rotting corpse is still more magic than the magicest anything else in the universe. In short, he's the grand toad poohbah of lizardkind, and he's on a hoverchair, kinda like a badass version of [[Tau|Aun'Va]]. Not dissimilar to a Dalek in this regard. * '''[[Archaon]]''': Lord of the End Times, the Ever Chosen and second most powerful warrior in the setting. Beat all four of the greatest Champions of the Empire in single fight during the Storms of Chaos Campaign but got bashed about badly by Grimgor who headbutted his teeth out of his face. <span style="color:green">'''Grimgor iz da best!'''</span> Later on, he destroyed the world entirely. * '''The [[Glottkin]] (Otto, Ethrac, Ghurk)''': Triplet sons who became Nurgle's top champions and mutated into a warrior, a smelly wizard, and a giant fucking blob of pestilence. Their parents were missionaries that tried to live among, and convert, the Chaos worshipers until they were murdered by the Empire by mistake, and the sons began looking for vengeance. Lucky for them, Archaon decided to make them his new vanguard and sent them to blow up the city of Altdorf. These guys are the basis of the second part of [[The End Times]] as the biggest threats of Chaos. Get beat pretty hard, turned into flies by Nurgle to save them but he put them in a jar as punishment. * '''[[Wulfrik the Wanderer|Wulfrik the World-Walker]]''': Chaos Lord, executioner of the Gods and consummate smack-talker of the Warhammer world. * '''[[Aekold Helbrass|Aekold Hellbrass]]''': AWESOME Tzeentchian Champion. * '''[[Arbaal|Arbaal the Undefeated]]''': All-mighty Champion of Khorne. Another one of the greatest warriors in the setting. Obviously, being a favored champion of the Ultimate God of War. Was with Asavar Kul when Praag was destroyed, fled the battle after he died at Russia, likely to assume Khorne ain't very happy with him. Also destroyed the gates of Praag with a single strike from his sword. Angron probably got his inspiration from this guy. Is he as fun to be around as [[Kharn]]? * '''[[Asavar Kul]]''': Greatest Champion of Chaos. Greatest warrior in the setting. Almost destroyed the Empire. 'Nuff said. * '''[[Harry the Hammer]]''': Oldfluff character whose warhammer the setting is named after. Allegedly. * '''Vardek CROM!''': Archaon's lieutenant and king of the tribe of Asavar Kul. Was man-handled by Archaon once and beat Grimgor once. * '''[[Chaos Gods#Be'lakor|Be'lakor the Dark Master]]''': The only Daemon Prince of Chaos Undivided and chooser of the Everchosen though not willingly. He's a scheming sonuvabitch that tries to kill every other champion of Chaos so he can get his parents' attention back. Oh, and he's also [[Warhammer 40K|in the spaaaaaace-future of the 41st millennium]]. Technically invented Chaos worship by being the first mortal in Fantasy to be uplifted by them, and served as the middle man between the material plane and Warp entities until the Chaos Gods discovered they could have their own champions rather than just sharing one. Has been a pissy fuck ever since. * '''[[Valkia the Bloody]]''': The world's most badass woman and Khorne's personal bitch. A monster of a woman who killed so much that everyone's favorite Blood God got smitten and made her more than human. Now she chooses who lives and who dies to join Khorne in the afterlife. * '''[[Grimgor Ironhide]]''': Orc Warlord, one of the most powerful warriors in the setting. Got his ass handed to him once by Archaon's lieutenant, Vardek CROM!!! Grimgor swore to prove he was the best in any case and did it beating Archaon himself in single combat (via headbutt to the Chaos-armored testicles). Was determined to be the avatar of [[Gork]] himself. One of the most badass robots from [[Transformers]] was named after him. * '''[[Skarsnik]]''': Head of the [[Night Goblins]], intent on taking over the Eight Peaks and wiping out the Dwarfs. Extremely clever, extremely cruel even by Warhammer standards, but canonically loves his Squig companion Gobbla. He speaks several languages too. * '''[[Wurrzag|Wurrzag, Da Great Green Prophet]]''': Orc Moses. Turns enemy wizards into Squigs. His mental energy makes those he doesn't turn into Squigs suffer an improved chance of a miscast. Never stops dancing. EVER. On a lifelong journey to find the avatars of Gork and Mork. It actually took him a while to figure out he needed to find two Greenskins instead of one. One was [[Grimgor Ironhide|an ultraviolent Black Orc]], the other [[Skarsnik|a tactically-brilliant Night Goblin]]. * '''[[Grom the Paunch]]''': Former Goblin Warlord. Famous for being obese, no joke. Also for near DESTROYING the Empire AND Ulthuan (imagine a Grot almost destroying Terra until he got bored and decided to destroy every Craftworld, almost succeeding). Not bad for a Gobbo. No one knows where is he now, <s>but it is unlikely that, whrerever he is, is alive (his wars were a hundred yeras before current era).</s> <span style="color:#80FF00">GROM LIVES, ya' git! An' when da waaaghboz returnz, we'll stomp da humies an el's an' orcs fo' good! WAAAA-</span><span style="color:green">'''STOMP!''' Where ya been? Get back to camp an' start to load rukks in da... um... "thing", ya squishy git!</span> * '''[[Thanquol]]''': Skaven grey seer and archenemy of Gotrek. He does lines of warpstone powder which is to cocaine what a monster truck is to a pair of baby's first rollerskates. Also he managed to escape from the prophet of Sotek, who after losing his sacrifice to his awesomic god, <strike>takes a nap</strike> meditates, despise the fact that he is a skink. Forever. Thanquol is such a colossal fuckup that it was determined the Lizardmen should let him live because he was ''that much'' of a liability to his own people. Spends all his time with his Frankenstein's Monster buddy [[Boneripper]]. * '''[[Deathmaster Snikch]]''': Skaven ninja-assassin. Uses three scimitars at once to lop off limbs from his target, doesn't so much as assassinate people as shred them into little pieces. * '''[[Malekith]]''': Lord of the Dark Elves; master of Dark Magic, uses a shield that can asplode your brain from a distance, and rides a giant-ass black dragon. Still lives with his mom. Also considered a whiny emo git who costs so much no one will ever use the Maleketh on a Dragon model because they'd rather finish the game before the entropic heat death of the universe. GW retconned it so he was the chosen one and everyone who doubted him was wrong, making his transformation into Anakin Skywalker complete. * '''[[Morathi]]''': Malekith's mom. In old editions she was the highest ranking Slaaneshi in the world and one of the primary players in the game of global domination; now she's just a crazy supreme witch with Alzheimer's who thinks everyone is her old hubby Aenarion. Fortunately, they fixed that in [[Total War: WARHAMMER|the video game]]. * '''[[Malus Darkblade]]''': The Starscream of Warhammer. * '''[[Gorthor|Gorthor the Beastlord]]''': A Beastman Everchosen, one of a handful of Beastmen who successfully caught the eyes of the Chaos Gods in more than a passing capacity. Whipped up on the Empire for a while before dying. Depopulated the Drakwald while he was at it. Even by Beastmen standards this guy was a monster. * '''[[Khazrak The One-Eye]]''': The most cunning Beastman. He and Boris Todbringer stabbed each other's eyes out, leaving one with an eyepatch and one with a constantly blood-and-puss bleeding empty socket. Hence his title, obviously. Loves messing with Todbringer. * '''[[Morghur|Morghur, Master of Skulls]]''': A creature so close to Chaos that stuff he touches becomes [[Chaos Spawn|You-Know-Whats]]. He's classified as a Beastman, but that's mere approximation; it'd be more accurate to call him a pure, sentient mass of Chaos energy given flesh. Perhaps that's why he never stays dead? * '''[[Nagash]]''': Supreme Lord and Creator of Undead, with his autographed book series inspiring the creation of Vampires by Neferata. Also [[Eldrad|Supreme Asshole]]. Was pissed his brother got to be Pharoah while he was stuck as a priest, so he tortured Dark Elves until they taught him black magic that he turned into the first true Necromancy. Killed his brother and got creepy with his brother's life, kept trying to take over Warhammer Egypt from his giant Warpstone flying pyramid and kept getting his ass kicked because Chaos, humanity, and even Skaven were all afraid that he'd become supreme ruler of reality if left un-sabotaged/smote. Supposedly the strongest wizard ever, has fought Sigmar himself and almost won. Became the supreme god of death by becoming Death itself via making death magic his bitch/part of his soul, now gets every soul that Chaos doesn't. * '''[[Arkhan the Black]]''': Nagash's right-hand man. Spent his life defending Nagash and was resurrected to continue doing it as a skeleton sorcerer. Unlike Mannfred, he's serving Nagash out of loyalty although in some versions he's getting a bit tired of Nagash's abrasive personality. Had an on-again off-again romance with Neferata despite being a skeleton. * '''[[Heinrich Kemmler]]''': An insane Necromancer who dabbled in all sorts of dark arts, eventually becoming a believer in Chaos. Was the very first still-canon Warhammer character ever created. * '''[[Krell]]''': [[Chaos Lord]] turned undead Wight. Everyone thought he was a mindless minion of Kemmler, but he actually changed allegiance from Khorne to Nagash long ago. * '''[[Queen Neferata|Neferata]]''': The first Vampire and last ruler of the ancient city of Lahmia. Militant bisexual necromancer with a spy network that manipulates events across the world behind the scenes. Pays lip service to Nagash but wants to become a proper queen again. Tried to make her cousin Khalida a vampire, caused Khalida to hate them as a result. * '''[[Vlad von Carstein]]''': The first von Carstein who almost became Emperor but was betrayed by Mannfred. Husband of the original vampire, but all of his character motivation is being a lovey-dovey couple with his new wife. Resurrected by Nagash in the End Times to continue making Mannfred look bad. * '''[[Isabella von Carstein]]''': New wife of Vlad, helps keep him from going full-retard when he gets too pissed off and is a big part of his long-term planning, but once he died the first time she suicided. Possessed by a Nurgle Daemon in End Times, Vlad killed himself again to use his ring to kill the Daemon but have her survive. * '''[[Mannfred von Carstein]]''': Vampire Lord, a "son" of Vlad. Helped end Vlad's attempt at taking over the world with his involvement in the theft of the Ring of Supreme Badassery, traveled the world like Eurotrash then tried to launch a similar invasion of his own using the ring. Got his ass kicked, became a slave to Nagash in an attempt to carve out his own chunk of the world but got pissed when Nagash resurrected Vlad to be the HNIC Old World Vampire. Decided to go full-retard and ended the world by stabbing someone taking part in a ritual to prevent the world being swallowed by the Warp. /tg/ calls him "Mannlet von Carstein" to reflect his character motivation of having daddy issues. * '''[[Konrad von Carstein]]''': Bat-Shit crazy Vampire Lord, "son" of Vlad. Not good with magic, after pissing off his Necromancers they abandoned him and the stress of controlling a zombie apocalypse made him lose his shit and wander off into a forest muttering to himself where he was promptly tackled by a dwarf and stabbed in the heart with the Elector Count of Ostland's Runefang by the dead Elector's son. [[Twilight|Total "pants-on-head" retarded vampire noob.]] * '''[[Settra the Imperishable]]''': Greatest of the Tomb Kings. Fights upon a pimped out chariot. Was offered literally everything by the Chaos Gods themselves if he'd serve, yelled "SETTRA DOES NOT SERVE. SETTRA RULES!" and decided to spend his unlife trying to fucking kill Chaos. * '''[[Queen Khalida]]''': Freaky mummy-chick blessed with the powers of a snake. Fucking hates vampires, before Twilight made that cool. * '''[[Greasus Goldtooth|Overtyrant Tradelord Greasus Tribestealer Drakecrush Hoardmaster Goldtooth the Shockingly Obese]]''': A huge motherfucker that weighs more than a pile of giant corpses. He loves eating almost as much as he loves killing. His name is also really, really long. Ogres are impressed by his name and he probably gets a shitload of tail. But he's a huge lardass who costs 565 points and makes ogres more awesome and enemy units pant-shittingly stupid. * '''[[Golgfag Maneater]]''': An Ogre mercenary, established the Ogre mercenary archetype and was the best Ogre [[Murderhobo]] there ever was. Notorious for doing pretty much everything. Example: your mom. *'''[[Queek Head-Taker]]''': A Skaven with surprisingly decent martial skill, bright red armour and a huge trophy pole on his back covered in skulls. Warlord of [[Clan Mors]], the largest of the Clans that aren't the main four. His name sounds like Squeak, as GW still doesn't take the Skaven too seriously. * '''[[Astragoth Ironhand]]''': High Priest of Hashut, and probably one of the oldest still-living Dwarfs in the setting. Fitting because he's basically a [[Dreadnought]] but with his skin being mostly stone. He won't let that him stop him, as he proceeds to maintain his position as the strongest Sorcerer-Prophet in the setting. *'''[[Drazhoath the Ashen]]''': In charge of the [[Legions of Azgorh]] and is greatest rival to Astragoth, he is perpetually trying to advance himself both politically and socially and overcoming the hurdle of being cast to the desolated lands, cursed to guard against the forces of the East seeking entry to the Darklands.
