Brutus Maxius

**Brutus Maxius** is the *Hound of Might* in the Necromantic Order.

## Biography

### Background

Brutus Maxius came from an unknown planet colonised by the Dread Legion. He is a Herculean, a gigantic, brutish, and dumb being with immense superhuman strength and durability due to their inherent size and superior physiology.

## Personality

Brutus Maxius was a savage brute that took great pleasure in fighting his enemies with the Necromantic Order. He was eager to fight the Raging Beast on behalf of Dar'Mog and their leader, the Darklord during the attack on the Queens city before being stopped by Lucius Ebony. In contrast with his adopted siblings, he was apparently the least intelligent of the Order, as he was only able to communicate in grunts and growls.

Brutus clearly did not care about risks and tactics, as he it simply bores him to stand and wait for the enemy in battle, preferring to dive straight into the enemy with pure recklessness and aggression, a trait that makes him an unstoppable force in combat. However, this soon proved to be a source of his downfall as he was later killed by CRAIG-275 in the battle of Noveske.

## Abilities

As the *Hound of Might*, Brutus Maxius is the Necromantic Order's heaviest hitter. What he lacks in tactics, stealth or intelligence, was his use of brute force. This, combined with his hammer, allows him to become an unstoppable juggernaut in combat.
