Orghotts Daemonspew
Orghotts Daemonspew is a Chaos Lord of Nurgle.[1]
A member of the Icehorn Tribe[2a], he is known as the Bastard King of Icehorn Peak to many of his enemies.[1]
History
Well over three hundred years old, he said to be the result of the union of a Witch and a Great Unclean One.[1]
A devout follower of the Plague God, he has frequently walked the twisting ways of the Garden of Nurgle but was unable to breath in its foul spore or scent the brightly coloured fungus. Instead he found a pair of rot-bladed axes that were embedded in the twisted trunk of a tree - although it had once been a Wizard. Using all his strength he managed to wrench the weapons free and has wielded them ever since.[1]
Seeking to contract Nurgle's Rot which would allow him to become a Plaguebearer he consorted and devoured Daemons of Nurgle, feeling sure that his god would recognise his devotion and reward him by being reforged. Yet, his unnatural resilience meant he was not able to fully transform into the Daemon and remained trapped in the mortal world. Now he travels the long dangerous road to become a Daemon Prince.[1]
He fought during the Great War against Chaos fighting at the Battle for Kislev's Gate in 2303 IC slaying Grand Masters and Warrior Priests.[1][2a]
End Times
He was tasked by the Glottkin with reaching Brass Keep and enlisting the warriors of Chaos that dwelt within it. So with Bloab Rotspawned and Morbidex Twiceborn they embarked on the Vulfbite - a ship raised from the depths by a Kraken in the service of Gutrot Spume. No warriors accompanied them as they set sail, only their pox maggoth mounts but their vessel was escorted by more Krakens which dealt with High Elf and Empire warships that attempted to intercept them.[2a]
They made landfall via the Gulf of Kislev near Erengrad and headed south-west, aiming to reach Talabheim via the Ostland forests. Although it was assumed they would receive some forces from Brass Keep, assailing one of the best defended cities of the Empire was a challenge but one Orghotts hoped would prove himself of being worthy of Daemonhood.[2a]
He and his small warband rode through the Middle Mountains in the early autumn of 2525 IC moving fast towards their target. On reaching the fortified crater, they simply waited till night fell and rode their monstrous mounts up the wall and tearing through the few defenders in the area. They then moved to attack the city proper.[2b]
Powers
Orghott has daemonic flesh which is hard to penetrate and should an enemy do so they must then contend with his acidic blood.[1]
