Von Löwenhacke was a pragmatic strategist and had honed his craft on countless battlefields across the Old World against all manner of foes - making him one of the the foremost Imperial commanders of his era. Additionally he had earned the respect of various Mercenary companies who were often keen to march beneath his banners. [1]
History
He was born during The Anarchy of the Empire to an officer in the state army of Talabecland and swiftly granted a junior commission when he demonstrated he was every bit as capable at commanding troops as veteran officers – and often better. [1]
His initial actions included when he defeated the Goblins of the Red Eyez Tribe as he lead his warriors through the ranks of Greenskins and took the head of their Warboss, which scattered its surviving followers. Later, whilst fighting for Middenland, he made a last-minute decision to create a rearguard for an advancing army which then blunted a Beastman ambush, giving the other commanders time to react to the attack. [1]
In roughtly 2276 IC He was seconded to the armies of Nuln as part of an agreement between the city-state and Talabecland in the face of aggression from Reikland. [1]
Weapons and Equipment
When leading an army of Nuln he adopted their lion into his heraldry and onto his armour and heraldry. [1]
- Griffon Helm: A magical artefact that protected him from many otherwise deadly blows over the years. [1]
