Bracchus

Bracchus is the name given to several mounts ridden by the Dark Elf Beastlord, Rakarth. ^[1]

History

Dark Steed

The first Bracchus had been gifted to Rakarth's father but proved to have such a vicious temprement that none could ride it and when his father tried to break the beast, he was trampled and nearly killed. He ordered that creature be killed but an eight year old Rakarth stepped forward and asked to have a single chance to ride the best but if he succeeded, he would keep him for himself. ^[1]

Rakarth approached, his ice-cold stare visibly shaking Bracchus who had realised that the child outmatched him in the ability to inflict pain and sheer cruelty. Meekly Bracchus allowed him to mount, obeying his every command. For the next thiry years he proved to be a faithful steed, until he was killed at the Battle of Finuval Plain. ^[1]

Dragon

Since that day Rakarth has mastered a Black Dragon which he named Bracchus in honour of his former mount. ^[1][2]
