Tehenhauin
Tehenhauin is a Skink in the Warhammer World of Warhammer Fantasy Battle. He is the Prophet of Sotek, god of snakes and eternal enemy of the Horned Rat (Sotek also used to be an Old One, but that got retconned). Which basically makes him Aztec lizard Moses, not quite Raptor Jesus but close enough.
In case you hadn't noticed, his name is a pun on "ten in one." He replaced the far-funnier "Tuini-Huini" in the Lizardmen army.
Life
Tehenhauin was the eldest Skink Priest of the Temple-City of Chaqua. Chaqua was a bit unique in that it had a series of plaques, called the Prophecies of Sotek, that weren't found in any other temple-city. They predicted that Lustria would be invaded by rats that walked on two legs, but they would be stopped by a mysterious god named Sotek. Because they weren't found in any other temple-city (and because they made frightening predictions), they were by-and-large ignored.
However, one day, the spawning pools of their neighboring temple-city of Quetza started to churn out malformed Saurus and Skinks. Soon, whatever was plaguing Quetza came to Chaqua. The Mage-Priest of the city soon succumbed, leaving Tehenhauin in charge. Believing that the city was a lost cause, Tehenhauin marched the survivors out into the jungle, carrying the plaques of Sotek.
Since the skinks are the most susceptible to the plague, they were easily swayed to join this new trending cult that Tehenhauin started (The Cult of Sotek) and begin sacrificing these ratmen invaders by ripping out their spleens or whatever in the same fashion to Aztec sacrifice on top of their holy ziggurat whenever they can as to ensure their complete and utter destruction. The ratman, specifically of Clan Pestilens, weren't going to give up up so easily however. They instead stepped up their rituals and invasions an both faction descended into gruesome warfare of diseases and sacrifice.
Unfortunately for the Slann, they viewed the prophecy of Sotek with disdain despite the heavenly forked tongue sign in the sky and forbade the cult from bringing those filthy rats into their city ziggurat for sacrifice (thus delaying the coming of Sotek by several centuries). This actually made the local skinks quite upset despite their genetically-coded loyalty and had started their own secret sacrifice ritual club behind their master's backs.
After countless sacrifices that would have made Khorne jealous, the coming of Sotek was finally near and Tehenhauin told everyone that when Sotek comes, he will swallow the Horned Rat whole and then digest him like some vore fetish victim for thousands of years. Tehenhauin ordered a trap at Gwakmol Crater which would prove effective and capture thousands and thousands of Skaven for sacrifice. As the Skinks cutting open the rat's stomach, it made the river Amaxon run soooo red that Khorne would wish the skinks were on his side. Meanwhile at the Stronghold of Clan Pestilens, a bunch of snakes emerged from the ground, each immune to every disease the clan could throw at them. Outmatched, they scurried away with their tails between legs and they were eventually pushed back to the Southland by the Cult. What's more was that those same snakes actually kept pursuing the rats on their rotting ships, somehow learning the secret arts of being stowaways!
Total War Warhammer II
On April 4th, he was confirmed as the Lizardman representative for The Prophet and The Warlock DLC for Total War: Warhammer II where he brings Red Crested Skinks, Ripperdactyls, Salamanders, Arc of Soteks and the Engine of the Gods for the Dinos to play with. He has a unique trait which lets him collect sacrifices as a currency to purchase Sotek related buffs, the most powerful allowing you to summon a manifestation of Sotek himself to beat the shit out of your enemies!
