Lord Executioner
Lord Executioners are large and imposing members of the Nighthaunt processions, wielding massive axes and possessing a malefic glare that can fix their targets in place with despair, doom, and other such feelings you get when your about to be cleaved from crown to taint by a ghost. In life Lord Executioners were well, executioners who get off to making heads roll or making necks snap a little too much, especially of those who they knew were truly innocent.
In death they serve as Champion killers, hunting down fools who personally pissed off Calcium Ceasar and dispensing his "justice" accordingly. They are surrounded by the spirits of those they killed unjustly, tormenting it while simultaneously protecting it from harm, because they wish to prolong it's suffering. This is odd, because as ghosts if the object of their obsession is destroyed, it's quite possible they could be freed from Nagash's grip and move on, but since Nagash owns Shyish he owns them forever anyway, and can use them in any way he deems fit.
Most Lord Executioners wield an axe, but others carry large posts with nooses tied to them, how they get enemy units into the noose is anyone's guess but it can be assumed the noose itself is possessed by a ghost.
