	It was during the Age of Chaos that his rise to infamy began. Prince Vhordrai was present at the Battle of the Black Skies, fighting for Nagash against Archaon. When Nagash was slain by Archaon, Vhordari saw this as an opportunity to be rid of him for good.

	Vhordrai's plan would've succeeded if not for the intervention of Arkhan the Black. Arkhan engaged Vhordrai in a lengthy duel between vampire and Mortarch. It's telling that Vhordrai managed to put up a huge fight since he couldn't match Arkhan's magic. But Arkhan's magic won him the duel, and he sealed Vhordrai in a sarcophagus made of Shadeglass. Arkhan then took Nagash's remains to Stygx with Neferata while Vhordrai was left trapped. So Prince Vhordrai is a bald vampire royal who tried to betray Nagash, only for his treachery to bite him back hard.

	Thus Prince Vhordrai was trapped in the sarcophagus until the Age of Sigmar, the vitrified realmstone preventing Vhordrai from dying from lack of blood or devolving into a Vargheist. Nagash freed Vhordrai, the vampire now in a half-insane state. Unfortunately for him, Nagash knew about Prince Vhordrai's attempted treachery and had released him to use and punish him. Vhordrai was bound to the fortress the Crimson Keep, and would die an agonizing and permanent death if he left its walls for more than a day. Nagash also used his power to move the Crimson Keep between realms, placing it near anyone he wanted to die horribly. For those keeping score, Prince Vhordrai is a prestigious vampire warrior who was magically imprisoned after turning against his former ruler, plus the imprisonment and lack of blood to feed on drove him insane, [[The Red Duke\|which is also a familiar story]].

	As a result, Vhordrai was leashed and gained the title "Fist of Nagash", albeit as a form of mockery. Despite his binding, many vampires go to the Crimson Keep to serve or fight alongside Prince Vhordrai, who is now revered as a paragon of slaughter. The fact that visiting binds them to the Crimson Keep like him the longer they stay doesn't dampen their devotion.

	Vhordrai and the other vampires established the Kastelai dynasty, revolving around martial prowess. Kastelai armies are almost entirely mounted to both maintain their knightly image and also out of necessity due to the Crimson Keep relocating each dawn. Given his half-insane, bloodthristy nature, Vhordrai revels in the suffering he gets to inflict, though he despises having to do it at Nagash's bidding.

	When Nagash lost his physical form at the end of the Soul Wars, Vhordrai reconsidered his position and the possibility that he could be free of Nagash's curse. However, he's seen and experienced what happens when you betray the skelepope once, let alone twice. As such, he's reluctant to really make any moves without a ''very'' good reason and chance of success.

	It was during the Age of Chaos that his rise to infamy began. Prince Vhordrai fought on Nagash's side in the Battle of the Black Skies, where Archaon slew Nagash. Vhordrai hated serving Nagash, and saw this as an opportunity to be rid of his tyranny for good. Vhordrai attempted to throw Nagash's remains into the Chaos-corrupted realmgate of Yulghuan so the Chaos Gods could consume Nagash and destroy him once and for all.

	Vhordrai's plan would've succeeded if not for the intervention of Arkhan the Black. Arkhan engaged Vhordrai in a lengthy duel between vampire and Mortarch. It's telling that Vhordrai managed to put up a huge fight since he couldn't match Arkhan's magic. But Arkhan's magic won him the duel, and he sealed Vhordrai in a sarcophagus made of Shadeglass. Arkhan then took Nagash's remains to Stygx with Neferata while Vhordrai was left trapped.		Vhordrai's plan would've succeeded if not for the intervention of Arkhan the Black.

So Prince Vhordrai is a bald vampire who tried to betray Nagash, only for his treachery to bite him back hard. [[Mannfred von Carstein\|Where have I seen this before?]]

	Thus Prince Vhordrai was trapped in the sarcophagus until the Age of Sigmar, the vitrified realmstone preventing Vhordrai from dying from lack of blood or devolving into a Vargheist. Nagash freed Vhordrai, the vampire now in a half-insane state. Unfortunately for him, Nagash knew about Prince Vhordrai's attempted treachery and had released him to use and punish him. Vhordrai was bound to the fortress the Crimson Keep, and would die an agonizing and permanent death if he left its walls for more than a day. Nagash also used his power to move the Crimson Keep between realms, placing near any person or group he wanted to die horribly.
