Hogsworth/History

This page chronicles the complete story of Hogsworth, the Pigmen General.
==Story==
===Background===
It is possible that Hogsworth is distantly related to the Pig King or the Piglin King.Olaguer, Rain Allen [radapedaxa] (December 11, 2021). "1) Yes" (Discord message). Retrieved December 21, 2023. After the Pig King's death, Hogsworth served the tyrannous False Pig King. His king's ultimate goal of wither genocide sparked a civil war between the pigmen and the withers.
==Fractures ==
===Hard Pill to Swallow===
Hogsworth first appears attempting to retrieve Herobrine's severed head from the Wither Camp. As they began to leave, Naeus, Kralos, and other Wither Skeletons appeared and battled for the head. Naeus and Hogsworth dueled, however, Naeus easily defeated him and killed his squadron, sparing him so he could send word to the False Pig King, who met the warning by throwing Hogsworth to the ground as punishment.
After Naeus' defeat of his master, he pledged loyalty to the new ruler and was promoted to the Pigmen commander of Naeus' reign.
===Ender Wish===

Hogsworth reappeared in Ender Wish as the Horde lay siege to the End, commanding the Pigmen. He and Naeus cooperated in taking down the Ender Dragon, charging against the Endermen, before Hogsworth took on Zeganirn, bombarding him with hits from a diamond sword. However, he was unsuccessful in killing him due to his virtually impenetrable bone, leading the Ender Watcher to escape to the Overworld with The Artifacts.
===Cold as Ice: The Remake===
After the Battle, he settles in Dragonspire with the Horde's forces, preparing for a conquest on the Overworld. Hogsworth then travels through the Nether's portal to the Far Plains village.
Hogsworth appears next in Cold as Ice: The Remake, leading the Horde's Pigmen infantry into battle against the Frostbourne, onlooking the air to see the Frostbourne's aerial defenses. Distracted by the Frostbourne Archers' arrows, he is caught off-guard by Ser Patrick's flank of the Frostbourne Cavalry, who charge him as the Footsoldiers, Elytra Corps and Archers attack on front. Getting up from the sudden attack, he duels one on one with Ser Patrick amidst the battle, however after knocking the Grandmaster to the ground, he dodges and grabs his diamond sword, impaling him and knocking him unconscious, although remarkably survives.
Hogsworth is later said to have mobilized the Piglin army whilst Kralos resides in Dragonspire, and pushed further into Frostbourne territory.
===Gotta Get Outta Here===
Hogsworth is first seen getting ready for battle, putting his helmet on, and having piglins give him his shield and Netherite sword. He observes his pigmen army, before one of the piglins show him an ender pearl.
During the start of battle, Hogsworth holds his shield up to protect himself from the arrows. He and his army throw ender pearls towards the outpost. When he teleports, he easily kills a few Frostbourne soldiers. When the Frostbourne retreat, he sends his army to follow them. 
As the Nether Empire soldiers walk through the tundra forest, the blizzard hits hard and two blazes freeze to death. Hogsworth looks up to the blizzard, worried about what will come next. 
When Hogsworth and his army reach the Frostbourne Camp territory, he is taken aback as trees fall, crushing most of the pigmen. After falling over a tree log, he gets up from the ground and attacks some of the soldiers. After killing a soldier, he sees Hilda staring at him. Hilda starts charging at him, and they have a little duel. Ultimately, he knocks down Hilda and her helmet. As he is about to kill Hilda, Lyria Wintona suddenly attacks him, disarming his weapons. He tries to get his sword back, but the Frostbourne Footsoldiers point their weapons at him. Seeing that the Frostbourne has won, he surrenders. 
=== Clear Skies===
Hogsworth is seen being escorted by Ser Patrick as a prisoner. As he passes through the gates, he notices Kane. He is immediately shocked upon seeing him and Kane stares at him grudgingly, implying the Netherbane has history with Hogsworth.
=== Back into Darkness ===
At the beginning of the episode, Hogsworth was interrogated by Hilda at the Frostbourne Dungeon. Despite being held captive, Hogsworth laughed in Hilda's face and told her that the Overworld "is not mine to conquer. It never was... Our great king will soon rise from his slumber."
