{{Topquote|The Nevermarsh is another challenge again. No army of Sigmar has crossed its border, and yet......This is where our enemies seek to hide from us, so this is where we will hound them. We will run them to ground, my friends. We will kill them all, we will butcher them, and we will feed their bloody carcasses to the carniferns of the Gorwood!!|Hamilcar}}

Hamilcar Bear Eater is a former Lord Castellant turned Knight Questor of the Astral Templars Stormhost. He is the creation of the author David Guymer, who is also well known for bringing [[Gotrek & Felix|Gotrek]] into the Mortal Realms in Realmslayer. 

Appearing in several short stories and two full length novels, Hamilcar is, put it mildly, a lovely braggart. A boastful warrior full of recklessness and bravado, but with enough of a bro-tier disposition to make him a character worth rooting for. Similar to the tales of [[Ciaphas Cain|Ciaphas Cain]], all of Hamilcar's stories are told in the first person, giving an insightful and humorous spin on the situations the characters are in, and often putting Hamilcar on the side of the reader, similar to how Guymer portrayed Gotrek in Realmslayer. Indeed, he also shares a few similarities to [[Fafnir Rann| Fafnir Rann]] from the Heresy era Imperial Fists.

As fans of ancient history would have recognized, he takes the namesake of the father of the legendary Carthaginian general Hannibal, Hamilcar Barca, and in one of his stories he pulls off a feat reminiscent of the famous crossing of the Alps, except with Ogors instead of elephants.

==Appearance and Personality==
As with all other Astral Templar Stormcasts, Hamilcar very much embodies the barbaric and tribal aspects of his Stormhost. Everything from his armor to his skin is adorned and tattooed with depictions of sacred spirits and great beasts, recounting the distant past lives and deeds he and possibly his people once lived. Alongside his purple armor, magic lantern and halberd, he also wears a cloak made from the fur of a giant white bear, from which the Bear-Eater namesake originated from.

Most striking of all, however, is Hamilcar's uncanny physical resemblance to Sigmar. Hamilcar himself sees this as a point of pride, claiming that his reforging worked so well, that even the God-King himself was impressed by the results. No one is sure why exactly this has come to pass; whether it was a deliberate alteration made in secret or another random side effect during Reforging, or perhaps a mysterious clue into who Hamilcar was before he was made into a Stormcast.
(If he was Valten, we are reaching dangerous levels of awesomeness)

==Force of Personality==

In many of Hamilcar's stories, his time as a Lord Castellant is spent as a cross between an emissary and a Green Beret operative, seeking out and ingratiating himself with the isolated enclaves of humanity that survived the Age of Chaos and bringing them into the fold and rallying troops to fight off their enemies.
