Hotek
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
Hotek was a High Elf Priest of Vaul who served Malekith. [1a]
History
In -2739 IC he stole the sacred hammer from Vaul's Anvil in Caledor and fled to join Malekith. [2a]
In the service of the Witch King, he forged the mighty rune etched armour he still wears as well as many other powerful artefacts. [1a]
Concerned that he might be killed on a whim of his fickle master, he created a armoury of defences to safeguard his body and soul. [1a]
It was however Morathi who had him poisoned, and following his death scattered the artefacts including the powerful Ring that bears his name which is a potent defence aginst sorcery. [1a]
