Khabib Nurmagomedov III

Khabib in Season 2

**Khabib Nurmagomedov III** is a swamp human and the secondary antagonist of the second and third seasons in The End of Days. A hunter and martial arts fighter of the Swamp Clan, Khabib replaced Jean Brousseau as the Swamp enforcer after Jean's death, becoming Marvel's newest right hand man.

## Biography

### Pre-Timeline

Not a lot was known about Khabib, other than he descended from the great Khabib Nurmagomedov, a prized UFC fighter. Much like his ancestor, Khabib the Third took up fighting at a young age, along with his brother Abubakar. He was very skilled in the art, eventually doing dirty work for Marvel due to his endurance and strength.

### Season 2

Khabib Nurmagomedov III makes his debut in Season 2, when it is revealed Marvel had him promoted to his right hand after Jean was killed. He shows up in the Hill Country, where it shown that he is interrogating an old man and beating the man to death. When the man refuses to give up the location of the Main Cast, Khabib stomps his head in a gruesome fashion.

He keeps searching in the Hills for the fugitives, but when he spots Marcus Green and Stasia taking back one of the wanted, Orianna, Khabib follows them from a distance. He eventually confronts them when they reach the Bayou region, and demands that Marcus and Stasia hand over Orianna or that they'd die.

After an intense battle which saw Khabib catch Marcus' spear mid-air and throw it back, Khabib is thwarted when Stasia surrounds him with a ring of fire, as swamp hounds close in and seemingly kill and eat Khabib.

Later on it turns out Khabib survived the events, as he returns to antagonize Marcus Green and Stasia in the desert. He partners up with the fire-bending Tug Boat Captain and the local criminal the Black Bull, to hunt down and finish Marcus Green and Stasia off for good.

Using the Black Bull as bait to draw out the two, Khabib hides out of sight as Marcus Green and Stasia emerge from the city. After Stasia defeats the Tug Boat Captain along with several members of Cato's gang, Khabib shows up to fight Marcus, who had just beaten Cato in a fistfight. Unlike Cato, Khabib is much more skilled in fist fighting, defeating Marcus Green after a brief scuffle.

Khabib then goes for Stasia, managing to knock her out with a head kick. Before he can finish the job, Marcus Green sneak attacks Khabib with a shovel, stunning the fighter and allowing the two to escape. Khabib then infiltrates the city, before him and his brother Abubakar abduct the knocked out Stasia later on, using the rumors of Ashwalkers as a distraction for Marcus Green.

### Season 3

Khabib shows up in Season 3, where it is revealed he has brought Stasia back to the Swamp Clan City. He cuts her arm open to draw blood, and threatens to break Stasia's hand if she breaks another jar. Once he succeeds in drawing the blood, he leaves to visit Marvel and hand the blood over for safe keeping.

Khabib later accompanies Marvel to Bunker 17, where he rounds up Underground and puts them on slave carts. When a fight breaks out, Khabib snaps a resisting undergrounder's neck, before rushing at Stasia, who had escaped the city prior. The two get in an intense fight, where Khabib uses his agility to fight Stasia's sword strikes with punches from his studded gloves.

Neither one is able to land a devastating blow on the other, and eventually fight to a stalemate. Khabib retreats with the rest of the swamp after the slaves had been rounded up, promising Stasia that wouldn't be the end.

Khabib makes his final appearance as he joins Marvel and Darius Slayton in a large attack on the Criscoras bunker. Khabib manages to kill his way inside of the base, being one of the most deadly fighters in the entire battle. He gets in a fistfight with Lukas, one he wins as he knocks Lukas out with heavy blows. He is defeated though by Amina, who strikes him in the head with a baton, before kicking him off into a chasm, where it's assumed Khabib falls to his death.
