## History

Grashnak Blackhoof, aka The Great Black Bull, is a Chaos Minotaur, playing for many Chaos Chosen teams.

### Professional Career

Not affiliated with any specific team, Blackhoof is a free agent and is chosen based on his otherworldly penchant for violence.

### Personal Career

No real definitive history is known about Blackhoof although the leading theory is that the Minotaur once protected the great Herdstone, deep within the Drakwald Forest. At the base of this Herdstone were the piles of gore-stained footballs reaching to the base of the stone itself. If the legend is to be believed, it was at this Herdstone that Nuffle appeared to Blackhoof as a bloody-faced coach urging the Minotaur to leave the sacred spot and play Blood Bowl in the most violent way possible.

Quickly establishing himself as a terrifying opponent on the pitch, Grashnak won the Bloodweiser Best Newcomer of the Year in 2483, as well as the sport's Most Vicious Player - the first of many awards for the carnage he caused during his career.

In 2483, Grashnak Blackhoof slipped on some carelessly placed slop against the Goblin team, the Sloptown Scavengers. Grashnak gets revenge by impaling every last one of them on his sharpened horns.

In 2492, Grashnak gained a rival in the form of a young Ogre bull by Frugg Rockgut who publically claimed himself more deadly than Grashnak. This resulted in a year-long competition to see who could cause the most fatalities. This feud came to a decisive end when Frugg and Grashnak faced-off across the gridiron. Grashnak, with a powerful charge, showed that Frugg was known as Rockgut in his name but certainly not in nature.

In 2498, Grashnak was hell-bent on earning a Blood Bowl Winner's Medal and joined the Chaos All-Stars the previous season. In a match against the semi-finals against the Skavenblight Scramblers, the Skaven are too slippery for the All-Stars, denying Grashnak his glory. Grashnak, enraged at this and his defeat, unleashed his fury on the Scramblers, injuring many of their best players in a post-match rampage which is credited to their loss against the Grudge Bearers in the finals.

In the present, at the end of the 2499-2500 season, Grashnak's contract with the Chaos All-Stars comes to an end and he does not re-sign. Instead Grashnak becomes a free agent and moves across the Old World t o play for any team that requires his unique brand of violence. While he is still on the quest for the Blood Bowl Winner's Medal, he is pursuing a different goal for now. Grashnak hopes to break Morg 'N' Thorg's record for the most fatalities in the game's history!
