The Wrathmongers

## Wrathmongers

**The Wrathmongers** are an army dedicated to the Vice of Wrath under the service of Ahriman and the Sheolfolk race.

## Biography

The Wrathmongers have little in the way of written history, with most knowledge of their past coming from the people they've fought in the past. Its exact age is unknown. Most estimate that it is as old as the Wrath sect itself, but some suggest that it was later, that the earliest Wrath followers were uncoordinated killers unable to work with each other until a General of Wrath subdued them all into action. Since then, the organization has become one of the largest and most fared forces on the face of the world, an army of furious barbarians who kill and burn with little hesitation.

## The Crimson Thirteen

The Crimson Thirteen are the brainpower of the Wrathmongers, the council of elite warriors and commanders that command the forces of Wrath. Each member of the Thirteen answers to the Supreme Commander (barring the Supreme Commander themnself), the de-facto leader of the Wrathmongers, and most command their own regiments of soldiers. It is every Wrathmonger's dream to become one among the Thirteen, and it is every one of the Thirteen's dream to become the Supreme Commander. Generally, the easiest way to become one among the Thirteen is to challenge one to a fight to the death, in which case the winner shall either retain their title, or claim the dead person's title.

### Supreme Commander Lucifer

Lucifer, sole General of Wrath after the Sundering, is the Supreme Commander of the Wrathmongers. More information can be found on his page.

### Delilah Ashwell, Bonded of Lucifer

Lucifer's bonded is Delilah Ashwell, a rare case as most of Lucifer's bonded are not considered worthy to join the Thirteen. More information can be found on her page.

### Lieutenant-Bodyguard Gorgoth

Gorgoth is the Lieutenant-Bodyguard to Lucifer, and his official second-in-command, though in reality his position is shared with Delilah. Gorgoth is not the brightest the Wrathmongers have to offer, but he's loyal to a fault, having fought by Lucifer's side since before his ascencion to General of Wrath. Gorgoth is also among the few absolutely trusted by Lucifer, as he is aware that most others are vying for his lofty position. Gorgoth, however, seems to quite content as Lucifer's lackey. While an uncivilized brute with little in the way of brains, he is a competant fighter, much like all the others among the Thirteen.

### Grand Admiral Kharsis Blackiron

Commander of the Wrathfleet, otherwise known as the Wrathmonger Navy, and captains Lucifer's flagship, the *King Kraken*. Much like how Lucifer is feared on the land, Kharsis is feared on the seas, as he is a legendary sea dog who has fought many battles of the naval variety. While uncordinated and clumsy at land, Kharsis's talents increase considerably when on a boat, having grown accustomed the rocking of the floor beneath him on the waves. Kharsis's connection with the ocean itself might stem from his Piscian heritage, as he is remured to be the nephew of Emannuel.

### Sonnilion, Lady of Pain

Even an army of uncouth barbarians demands an element of class, and that element is Sonnilion. Sonnilion used to be the matriarch of a noble house of Morgul, until an unspecified event prompted her to relinquish her estate and join the Wrathmongers, alongside all her servants and slaves. However, she still retains her blue blood, and looks down on both her inferiors and her equals with disdain. Sonnilion is dainty when compared to her brutish compatriots, but what she lacks in brute strength she more than makes up for with her finesse with a blade. Similarly unqiue, her Wrath is not apparent at first glance, as it is not the kind that burns bright, but rather a chilled fury that could almost be mistaken for serenity.

### "Butch", Chief Medical Officer

At a surprise to many, the Wrathmongers do actually field medics. These dubious physicians are referred to as **Butchers**, and are both feared and loved within the army. The founder of the medical program is a Sheolfolk named Tzarkonan, much more commonly referred to as "Butch" (shortened slang for "Butcher") by just about everyone. While Butch is a capable doctor, his methods leave room for doubt, and his talent is somewhat belied by his lack of care for the wellbeing of his patients. While just about any Butcher will tell you about their affinity for medical violence, Butch's love of amputations is more or less unrivalled. If you have even a head-cold, don't tell him, he'll probably amputate. Any other ailment is usually treated with the catch-all cure "Fighting Juice", a foul-tasting tonic that is surprisingly effective at healing wounds and boosting adrenaline.

### Grand Strategist Tezrian

Lucifer's endless experience with wars have given him a talent for strategy and tactics, but even he acknowledges he is not infallible. Therefore, he relies on assistance from Tezrian, his expert in the matter of battle plans. The strategy for every Wrathmonger offense has been co-authored, if not outright created, by Tezrian. While her battle skills are comparable to the average of Wrathmonger, her strategic genius is unmatched within the organization, and she displays a terrifying knowledge of tactics and logistics.

### Geryon the Slayer

Most Wrathmongers take pride in successful battles- Geryon takes pride in successful hunting trips. This red-skinned Sheolfolk is souped up on a combination of obscene machismo, the thrill of the hunt, and the size of his moustache, and stands out as one of the most boisterous among the Thirteen. Geryon considers the continued existence of large, huntable animals to be a threat to his ego, and has made it his life's mission to mount their skulls on his wall. He's also unique in being a vegetarian- although it's only to prove that he doesn't kill animals to eat them, but simply because he hates them. Unique in his proficiency with a bow, and by "bow", we mean a massive harpoon launcher that shouldn't work at all in real life. Don't worry, he uses a melee weapon- his fists.

### Nybaras, Propaganda Minister

All armies rely on morale, and the Wrathmongers are no exception. When Lucifer is unable to give a speech to rally the men, Nybaras is more than wiling to take his place. While Nybaras is without sight, he's in possession of a silver tongue and a booming voice that can inspire the Wrathmongers with divine rage and terrify their enemies to their core.

### Amon

An intimidating, statuesque woman with a secret history involving Lucifer, and unique in being half-Elysian, and therefore the only person with Elysian blood in the Crimson Thirteen. She keeps to herself, but she's a capable lieutenant with no shortage of anger, a love of conquest, and exceptional skill with polearms.

### Baal

Baal was once a strapping warrior like every other Wrathmonger, a capable fighter possessing anger that more than earned him a place among the Crimson Thirteen. However, a battle gone awry ended with the better part of a blade penetrating Baal's brain, lodging itself in his skull. The damage, thankfully, wasn't terrible- he's perpetually twitching, and totally unable to speak, but he's able to walk and fight. To prevent further damage, he took a Bonded shortly after his injury, although the damage had already progressed to a point that it wouldn't be able to heal. Although without speech, he's still able to communicate during important meetings, as he's developed a system to convey his thoughts with his terrified Bonded through the rattling of her chains, thus allowing her to speak on his behalf.
