Warlord/Main

> *"There are traditions among our people that run deep as stone. Their shields are as versatile as they are strong. Their swords are lethal. Simple. An ancient design. And a leader who does not lead the charge is no leader at all. They are called Warlords, a name that is earned. Another ancient tradition. To become a Warlord means service to all who need it, for life. They are the shield of our people... and they will not fall."*

**Warlords** are a playable hero class in For Honor.

## Overview

Warlords are not born into leadership. They’ve had to earn it through blood, sweat and steel. To be a Warlord means a life of service to their people. Their shield protects those who cannot fight—their sword will cut down those who would attempt to cause their people harm. Their fighting style is simple yet brutal. You will always find them leading the charge.

## Armor

Warlords wear leather and animal pelt over chain mail. The chainmail also extends covers their arms, chest and their hips, with a horn hanging off the backside of their waist.

Their helmet is made of iron and is in the shape of a rounded or peaked cap made from four plates after the spangenhelm pattern; at the brim, it has leather drapes protecting the neck. The helmet also has a "spectacle" guard around the eyes and nose which forms a sort of mask.

## Weapon

**Ulfberht and Shield** - The Ulfberht sword, paired with a sturdy shield, allows the wielder to deflect blows and get close enough to their target to unleash deadly close range attacks.

## Trivia

* While the For Honor website lists the Warlord's sword as a gladius, historically Vikings never used the Gladius. The Vikings, however, did use derivatives of the spatha sword, which eventually replaced the Gladius in the Roman Empire. The sword the Warlord uses would be classified as a Carolingian sword, or even an Ulfberht sword.
* Executions:
	+ The execution, "Attitude Adjuster," is a reference to the wrestling move used by John Cena, the Attitude Adjustment, a standing fireman's carry takeover. The stab at the end is effectively the pin that follows the move.
	+ The execution, "the Heartattack" has Warlord perform a Jumping Neckbreaker Slam.
	+ The execution, "the Viking's Elbow," may be a reference to one of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's signature moves, the "People's Elbow," a high-impact elbow drop.
	+ In the execution, "Head Carrier," Warlord performs a snapmare after cutting the opponent's neck.
	+ The execution "Like a Stuck Pig" may be a reference to the idioms "Squealing like a stuck pig" and "Bleeding like a stuck pig."
* The emote "Discobolus" is in reference to a statue of the same name. The name is translated as "Discus Thrower" in Greek, as the statue shows a man performing a Discus throw.
* The signature "Mennt" translates to "accomplishment" in Old Norse.
