History
During the Battle of Xen-Tu, after Hablo Kahn was killed by the champion of the Dragon Emperor, Tong Po [3] Oglah swiftly switched sides. However this swiftly proved a miscalculation when the rest of Hobgobla Khan’s Horde rode over the horizon, massively outnumbering the Cathayans. In the aftermath Ogla was declared outlaw and left not just the battlefield, but also the entire steppelands. [2a]
After a brutal journey through the Dark Lands, Oglah developed a deep hatred of Chaos Dwarfs before joining the Black Orc horde of Gordug Smasher in pillaging Tilea. However, at the Battle of the Long Knives Gordug’s Orcs were all but annihilated when Oglah swapped sides and joined Tilean general Giovanni Guilliani. [2a]
Following his victory, the general rewarded Oglah and his Wolfboyz by hiring them as highly mobile scouts and skirmishers. Since then they have worked as wolf-riding mercenaries for many princes and generals throughout the Border Princes and Tilea. [2a]
