Hogsblood

"'You are obsolete.' - Captain Hogsblood, B4C2 - Hell and Back"Hogsblood, better known as Captain Hogsblood, is the infernal ruler of Maladomini, the Seventh Circle of Hell. Hogsblood's attempts to create a perfect soldier partially put into motion and influenced the events of the Jaed-Najar Campaign.

Appearance
Hogsblood is an unsightly individual, inspiring fear in both mortals and immortals alike. He stands around 10 feet tall and wears armor composed of tendons, bone, and other organic matter. His eyes are a ghostly pale, he speaks with a maw of sharp and jagged teeth, and has thin black hair matted against a perpetually bloody jaw. Two massive horns protrude from his head, and his left hand has been replaced with a flaming axe-head.

Hogsblood also wields a maul and a mace on his back.

Personality
Hogsblood is a dazzling tactician, insightful both on and off of the battlefield. Lies and bluffs are usually water on his back. Despite this, or perhaps because it comes so easily to him, he stills values Strength as a paragon above all else.

Hogsblood is also so consistently stoic that even his children have never seen a mood from him. There is intensity and nuance at times, but never expression. Because of this, he has never referred to his children as such, but instead as his "sired", those that he has progenated. He mourns each child's passing as a parent does their child's goldfish.

Pre-Campaign
Long ago, there was a point where Hogsblood came to power over Maladomini. It is unknown if the change was social or forceful. But the ruined land nonetheless became his, and so he plotted. Hogsblood became laser-focused on creating a perfect soldier, and put a plan into action. A progeny of 46, raised in separate environments by separate races, and taken home at different intervals of time. Once taken back to Maladomini, Hogsblood pit them against each other, promising neverending victory to those that prevailed, and a bleak nothingness to those that did not.

After years of training and years of fighting, Hogsblood's progeny was whittled down to 2: an expected and an unexpected. The expected was the full-blooded child Lamashtu. The unexpected was the boy of elven descent, Sabioze. Instead of continued battles, these two began taking on assignments that would train their abilities other than strength. During this entire procedure, Hogsblood turned his focus to another experiment, one that the sired would be kept from.
