History Characters / WarhammerTheEndTimes

%%* TragicHero: Tyrion, in retrospect, becomes this.

* MakeThemRot: [[spoiler: How Eltharion dies from Arkhan's spell]].

* DyingAsYourself: After Alith Anar's arrow pierces true through Tyrion's breastplate, the Widowmaker falls from his hand. The madness of Khaine fades away from his eyes, and he sees clearly for the first time in many months before Tyrion, heir of Aenarion and Avatar of Khaine, dies.

* InfinityPlusOneSword: He gains one when he draws [[spoiler:Widowmaker, the Sword of Khaine]].

* OneManArmy: He was already the greatest warrior the High Elves had, but when he draws the Widowmaker he becomes all but unstoppable, with a ''maxed-out'' Weapon Skill. The lore reflects this, with him being able to outfight even Malekith [[spoiler: the Phoenix King]].
* PapaWolf: Even during a daemonic invasion of Ulthuan, Tyrion was sent a second expedition to the Old World in order to save his bastard daughter Aliathra from the hands of Mannfred von Carstein. He would have lead it himself but his brother and most trusted companions to change his mind and lead the defence.

* EvilVsEvil: Against the armies of Chaos led by Valkia the Bloody. And later against the Aestyrion.

* FemmeFatale: Still her hat. Indeed, it's this that allows her to convince Tyrion to allow her into his inner circle, as he's hurting badly for intimacy after Aliarielle's disappearance and his brother's defection to Malekith.
%%* GlamourFailure: Her magical disguise as the Sorceress "Drusala" doesn't work on Tyrion. But by the time he sees through it, she's right where she wants to be.

* LadyMacbeth: Morathi betrays her own son and sides with Tyrion, seducing him with the aid of her magic. Previously, was this arguably to her own son - Malekith, especially before the 8th edition retcons.

* NeverSpeakIllOfTheDead: Karl calls out on Balthasar Gelt for talking bad of Volkmar even after his death.

* WoundThatWillNotHeal: The arrow that Alith-Anar shoots him. Subverted as is later shown that he has removed it.

* FemmeFatale: This's still her hat.
%%* GlamourFailure

* LadyMacbeth: Morathi betrays her own son and sides with Tyrion, and using her magic she bewitches the Prince and bends him to her will. Previously, was this arguably to her own son - Malekith, especially before the 8th edition retcons.

* OffingTheOffspring: In The End Times she sides with Tyrion, seeing him as Aenarion reborn and allies with him against Malekith.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: At the final battle at the Isle of the Dead, after she sees Tyrion fall she loses control and begins to attack Teclis. Determined to make all pay she dives headlong into the Vortex and kills all the mages maintaining it except for Caledor Dragontamer, causing Slaanesh to pass through the hole in the fabric of reality.

* VillainessesWantHeroes: She becomes [[spoiler: Tyrion's consort]] because he reminds her of Aenarion.

* BreakThemByTalking: Tullaris is personally responsible for one of the most dramatic FaceHeelTurn during the End Times, [[spoiler:taunting Tyrion about his dead daughter and enraging him to the point he draws the Widowmaker, corrupting him for the rest of the Sundering.]]

%%* ADayInTheLimelight: The novella ''The Bloody-Handed'' takes place from his perspective, showing him during the fall of Har Ganeth at the hands of the forces of Chaos. It's this that introduces his relationship with Hellebron, and gives some insight into

* DyingAsYourself: At Middenheim, as Hellebron prepares to kill an exhausted Alarielle, the Everqueen tries a last spell. Casting the healing powers of Ghyran onto the Hag Queen, the madness that had gripped her for millennia was cast aside, and Hellebron sees the world with a clear mind. Stunned by her own betrayals, the death blow is stalled. Taking advantage of the distraction that is sure to be short-lived, Alarielle grabs a nearby spear and thrusts it into Hellebron’s heart, ending her trail of destruction for good.

%%* ItsPersonal

%%* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: His final words reveal he had a daughter.
%%* IShallTauntYou: Regularly mocks his opponents in battle

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: It's revealed that he was the one who liberated the black orcs from slavery at the hands of the chaos dwarfs. In The End Times he takes his army, returns to Zharr-Naggrund with a vengeance and destroys them. And that's all we know about that.]]

* TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: Also a ContinuityNod from the Storm of Chaos,[[spoiler: he goes to duel Archaon on his own as he considers him unworthy of the title of "Da baddest an' da mightiest". Malekith has a hand in that train of thought...]] Right up how it went.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: Lizardmen]]

!!Lord Kroak

* BackFromTheDead: He wills himself back to life to stop the meteors descending on the world.
* HeroicSacrifice: As his ancient pupil Lord Mazdamundi collapses in his attempt to save the world from the falling shards of the Chaos moon Morrslieb, Lord Kroak wills himself back to life, contains the destruction only to Lustria and the Southlands, and ingurgitates the energy of his Shield of the Old Ones, creating several protective force domes and sending them beyond the world's horizon, above the destruction -- a last selfless act before he is consumed in the conflagration that engulfed Lustria.
* HeroicWillpower: The aforementioned ''willing himself back to life'' says volumes about his strength of will.
* WorldHealingWave: Subverted. Lord Kroak uses all of his magic to undo [[EarthShatteringKaboom the damage the giant warpstone meteors would have caused]], containing the destruction to Lustria and the Southlands [[spoiler: in addition to saving the last of the Lizardmen, but see HeroicSacrifice]].

!!Mazdamundi

* HeroicRROD: After destroying much of the fragments of Morrsleib, Mazdamundi exhausts his power completely to the point that he can no longer use magic, briefly loses consciousness [[spoiler: [[HeroicSacrifice and eventually dies]].]]
* HeroicSacrifice: As the Skaven activate the Morskittar Engine, blowing up the Chaos moon Morrslieb, sending its debris of warpstone over the planet, Mazdamundi knew he had one chance to save the world. He sent out a message to all remaining Slann, calling for the great Exodus to begin immediately. Bending all of his will and power towards the task he began to batter each chunk of moon with his magical might, breaking them into smaller and smaller chunks. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to destroy all of the largest chunks, and now his power was spent. Wanting to feel the wind upon his skin one last time before the world ended he started to make his way towards the outside pinnacle of the temple, but drained of all energy, collapsed dead on the stairs.
* HorseOfADifferentColour: Rides a Stegadon called Zlaaq.
* OnlySaneMan: He's the only one of the Slaan who recognizes the true threat at the time and tolerates no nonsense or delays from his attendants.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: The ruler of Heaxotl and a key figure at the forefront of Lustria's defence.
* WhamLine: Mazamundi delivers one in Warhammer: Nagash:
--> "The Great Plan [[spoiler:has failed. [[HomeworldEvacuation The Exodus]] must begin]]."

!!Kroq-Gar

* BladeOnAStick: His spear which he uses to kill [[spoiler: Skrolk]].
* FourStarBadass: He's still the Lizardmen's best general.
* HeroicWillpower: He resisted the disease Skrolk tried to use on him that reduced his steed to a puddle of flesh and pus.
* HoldTheLine: He's introduced leading an army against a non-stop daemonic incursion.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Though he was ordered to an evacuation point and headed there, it is unknown if he made it in time.

!!Oxytol

* ImprobableAimingSkills: He is able to hit an assassin obscured by a rock in the neck using a blowpipe.
* YouCanSeeMe: Due to possessing heat-vision, the Skaven assassin's magic cloak does nothing to conceal him.

[[/folder]]

[[folder: High Elves]]

The High Elves of Ulthuan aren't doing much better. After several attempts of rescuing Aliathra, the daughter of the Everqueen, time is running short for them. Also, in the beginning stages of the End Times, several daemonic incursions occurred. Initially short-lived, but they were increasing in frequency, size and length. Also, their dark kin have come ashore again on their coasts and the brothers Tyrion and Teclis are busy trying to fend them off.

[[folder: Dwarves]]

The dwarves are preparing. The World's Edge Mountains are in unrest and several volcanos inactive for millenia have started erupting, an ill omen for the dwarves. In the wake of the End times, an assemble of the dwarven kings are called in Karaz-A-Karak by [[TheHighKing Thorgrim Grudgebearer]]. In the assembly they decide the course of action in light of the recent events, and shutting up their fortresses wins by little, finding opposition from Kings Ungrim Ironfist and Alrik Ranulfsson. Despite that, circunstances lead to some of them taking arms and marching to the exterior or the dephts of earth.

!!General Tropes

!!High King Thorgrim Grudgebearer

--> [[spoiler: Thorgrim: "...in the back... of course, the cowards stabbed me in the back..."]]

* AdultFear: Same as Alarielle, below, but with an added twist of the knife. Imagine that it was a member of your own family who was responsible for your daughter's death.

* OneManArmy: He was already the greatest warrior the High Elves had, but when he draws the Widowmaker he becomes an elf-shaped ''blender''.
* PapaWolf: Even during a daemonic invasion of Ulthuan, Tyrion was bound to set a second expedition in order to save his bastard daughter Aliathra from the hands of Mannfred von Carstein. It took convincing from his brother and most trusted companions to change his mind and lead the defence.

* DespairEventHorizon: [[spoiler:He knew in advance, by word of Lileath, that the End Times were coming. this led to him retorting to provoke certain events which led to much of the events of the End Times.]]

[[spoiler: It doesn't work. He was being kept prisoner because he is [[HeroicLineage a direct descendant of Sigmar]] and he is needed in the ritual that brings Nagash back. He died in said ritual in terrible agony because his body is the main form of the present incarnation of Nagash.]]

* {{Anti Climax}}/{{But For Me It Was Tuesday}}: Arkhan is attacked by Eltharion; ruler of Yvreese, one of the High Elves greatest heroes and best swordsmen, the only general to successfully lead a raid on Naggarond and live to tell of it, who saved Ulthuan from destruction when Grom the Paunch invaded, who had defeated Mannfred von Carstein in combat... and kills Eltharion with as much effort and ceremony as taking out the trash. Arkhan may not have even known his name.

* [[spoiler: NoImmortalInertia: After Nagash dies, it's implied his death will kill Arkhan as well, as he shows Neferata his slowly crumbling hand and states he knows of Nagash's death]].

* * XanatosGambit: Pulls a successful one against Mannfred to ensure his goal of Nagash's return. [[note]]Starting from their fight at the bridge. If Arkhan won, he'd take Mannfred's treasures and captives and bring Nagash back himself. If Mannfred won the fight, Mannfred would bring back Nagash for his own gains, then [[HoistByHisOwnPetard Mannfred would find out]] [[EvilIsNotAToy Nagash was beyond his ability to control]], so Arkhan would still win. If they work together to bring back Nagash, Arkhan was prepared for and ready to counteract Mannfred's betrayals, so he would bring back Nagash. Arkhan even adapted his plans when he found out about [[SpannerInTheWorks the elves coming to rescue Aliathra]], by having Mannfred's forces and the elves fight each other while he brought back Nagash, so he still wins.[[/note]]

* ForcedToWatch

* HeroicWillpower: * HeroicWillpower: For a [[AntiHero certain]] [[WellIntentionedExtremist definition of hero]], the End Times Settra was the only one who was able to defy [[PhysicalGod Nagash's]] magic and willpower. In the finale he did the same to the Chaos gods at the height of their power.

* LosingYourHead[=/=]NotEnoughToBury: Nagash ripped Settra to pieces and scattered his bones across Khemri, forcing Settra's head to watch as he destroyed Khemri [[spoiler:until the Chaos Gods put Settra's body back together]].

* BadassArmy

* NoOneCouldSurviveThat
* OrcusOnHisThrone

* VillainousBreakdown

* AxCrazy: His default state.

* BreathWeapon[=/=]BurningWithAnger: He can breathe fire on enemies. The lore states it's a supernatural expression of his rage.
* DropTheHammer[=/=]WhipItGood: One of his weapons is an axe with a metal head at the end. In effect it is a giant meteor hammer.

* AffablyEvil: Otto Glott.
* BellyMouth: Ghurk has one.

* CombatTentacles: Ghurk again.

* MookMaker: Ghurk

* BackFromTheDead

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge[=/=]VillainousBreakdown: At the final battle at the Isle of the Dead, after she sees Tyrion fall she loses control and begins to attack Teclis. Determined to make all pay she dives headlong into the Vortex and kills all the mages maintaining it except for Caledor Dragontamer, causing Slaanesh to pass through the hole in the fabric of reality.

* {{A God Am I}}: Figuratively and literally. In The End Times book he plans to usurp control of the Warp from the Chaos Gods and replaced them and consumed the god of the Underworld.

* {{The Chessmaster}} Arranges to be brought back, then plans to take advantage of the last great Chaos incursion to replace the Chaos Gods. He hasn't accomplished the former but he did successfully [[spoiler: unite the Vampire Counts and Tomb Kings, except for [[FounderOfTheKingdom Settra]], along with conquering Nehekhara to gain an army of undead and nearly reached godhood]].

* {{Enemy Mine}}: With the other Incarnates.

* {{Horrifying The Horror}}: His return horrifies Mannfred and Neferata into allying with him, with Mannfred's fear of Nagash keeping Mannfred from betraying him [[spoiler:at first]]. After [[EldritchAbomination Bea'lakor]] is captured, the Incarnates threaten to give him to Nagash if he doesn't co-operate; Bea'lakor chooses to co-operate.
* {{Kick The Dog}}: Even when the world is about to end he finds time. While offering "...[[ExactWords THE ARCHITECT OF (Aliathra; Tyrion and Alarielle's daughter) DEATH, TO DO WITH AS YOU WILL]]." to Tyrion and Alarielle, he still takes the opportunity to taunt them about [[FateWorseThanDeath Aliathra's soul being consumed by Slaanesh]]. He also found time during the battle of Middenheim to murder a bunch of helpless slaves and raise them as a zombie army.
* AGodAmI: Sees himself as such and has a cult that worships him. He also kills and replaces Usirian and plans to usurp control of the Warp from the Chaos Gods.
** ''"I CAME NOT TO CLAIM NEHEKHARA, BUT GODHOOD!"''
* KickTheDog: He does this almost constantly. Even when the world is about to end he finds the time to murder a bunch of helpless slaves and raise them as a zombie army.
* {{Kill The God}}: Nagash defeated and consumed Usirian, the Nehekharan god of the Underworld, [[IHaveManyNames who may also be Morr, the Empire god of the dead, and maybe even the god of the dead for all of humanity in the Warhammer World]].
* {{Large And In Charge}}: Nagash's new body in the End Times is around sixty feet tall according to the art, much larger than before.

* [[spoiler: {{No Immortal Inertia}}: After the Rift sucks out his magic, Nagash's body slowly disintegrates]].
* {{Nominal Hero}}: He's an Incarnate, so it's taken into account that he's saving the world. But he won't change a bit because of that; it's repeatedly stated that he is the greatest evil in/threat to the world outside of Chaos and he's only fighting Chaos because it's getting in the way of [[TheNecrocracy his own attempt to take over the world]].

* {{Person of Mass Destruction}}: Destroys the tombs in the Charnel Valley [[spoiler:and later the city of Khemri by himself after defeating Settra. He then destroys the other cities of Nehekhara with the assistance of his armies]].

* {{Token Evil Teammate}}: Among the Incarnates, which is notable as the group that includes [[KnightTemplar Malekith]].
* TyrantTakesTheHelm[=/=]{{TheUsurper}}: Nagash took over the Tomb Kings after defeating Settra and even overthrew the god of the Underworld.

* {{World Wrecking Wave}}: Summoned one that raised the dead across the world when he took the Wind of Death magic from the vortex and bound it to himself. Subverted as the dead aren't bound to him [[spoiler:at first]], like he planned, due to [[spoiler:Aliathra being Tyrion's bastard giving him the Curse of Aenarion and denying him Asuryan's power]].

* {{You Have Outlived Your Usefulness}}: Hands Mannfred over to the Incarnates as a gift of goodwill, since he kidnapped and tortured her's and Tyrion's daughter; Arkhan (her killer, unbeknownst to the elves, was too useful to Nagash to hand over). Subverted as Nagash later ordered Arkhan to [[YouShallNotPass cover his retreat at Middenheim]] [[LastStand until dead]].

* {{The Chains Of Commanding}}: Mannfred unites most of the vampire population of the Empire under his rule, but then he struggles to keep all of them under control.

* {{Humiliation Conga}}: He is out-gambitted by Arkhan the Black, finds his swordsmanship lacking compared to Eltharion and is nearly killed by him (it didn't help that Mannfred's rival, Arkhan, killed Eltharion easily), is nearly killed by Tomb King Behedesh II of Zandri in single combat and at the battle for Khemri he realizes too late that if the Vampires and the Tomb Kings had united they could've stopped Nagash and the Chaos Gods.

* {{Smug Snake}}: Despite being intelligent Mannfred is very arrogant, and can't help but mock his opponents even when he's at a disadvantage.
* {{The Starscream}}: [[UpToEleven Even Skaven would consider him unreliable]]; at least they honour their alliance with the forces of Chaos out of fear. See WildCard below.

* [[spoiler: UnwittingPawn: Mannfred is this of Nagash, the unwitting part is how much independence he thinks he has.]]
* {{Villainous Breakdown}}: He starts to get stressed over the demands of ruling Sylvania when the vampires are trapped. In the novel 'Return of Nagash' Mannfred is reduced to screaming and throwing a tantrum when Nagash brings back [[spoiler:Vlad]].

* {{Worthy Opponent}}: Mannfred admits to himself that Arkhan is his equal in magical ability, apart from Mannfred's magic reservoirs in Sylvania, and that Arkhan's cunning surpasses his own.

* DoNotGoGentle[=/=]FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler:When Arkhan is about to kill Aliathra, she is composed and accepting. She also performs a mysterious spell on Arkhan before he kills her.]]

* DeadpanSnarker

* GodWasMyCoPilot: Lileath was working with Teclis throughout the End Times; much of his plans were actually hers.

* NeverFoundTheBody: After the unravelling of the vortex, Ulthuan starts to sink and Alarielle starts to evacuate the High Elves through the worldroots to Athel Loren. Teclis, however, refuses to enter the worldroots, until Alarielle can no longer maintain them and has to leave. Imrik tarries a while longer, offering to carry Teclis away on his dragon Minaithnir, only to be refused as Alarielle had. Teclis is last seen rising to his feet and gathering Tyrion's corpse up in his arms with a strength Imrik didn't know he possessed, before the ocean crashes down on the Isle of the Dead for one last time, and Teclis is lost to Imrik's sight.

* TheArchmage: After Teclis binds the Wind of Ulgu to Malekith, he becomes the Incarnate of Shadow. In-game, Malekith the Eternity King is one of the only four level 5 Wizards in the game (normally Wizard levels only go up to 4), the others being Nagash, Alarielle and Balthasar Gelt.

* TheChainsOfCommanding: Is declared Regent of Ulthuan and leads its armies in Finubar's absence, but is worried about his abducted daughter and despises politics.
* DespairEventHorizon: After Aliathra's death, Tyrion was depressed, the people who he needed to work through things weren't around so he couldn't even mourn his daughter and then it turns out the one person who he did fully trust (Teclis) betrayed him. Coupled with that the increasing responsibilities thrust upon him (and he may not have been ready for it) and mounting desperation all lead him to the Widowmaker. At that point, between Morathi's seduction and his own heartache he just wanted to let go so he wouldn't feel pain anymore and be the hero his people wanted. Tyrion was poisoned by Khaine as much as he was by his depression, leading him to draw the Sword of Khaine and descend into madness.
* DyingAsYourself: After Alith Anar's arrow pierces true through Tyrion's breastplate, the Widowmaker slips from his hand. The madness of Khaine fades away from his eyes, and he sees clearly for the first time in many months before Tyrion, heir of Aenarion and Avatar of Khaine, dies.

* MachiavelliWasWrong: His increasingly brutal methods gradually drive away Alarielle, several allies and finally even his steed.
* OneManArmy: See above for why.

* ArrangedMarriage: To Malekith, of all people. This even [[DefrostingTheIceQueen warms him further towards everyone]].

* TookALevelInBadass: She became the vessel of Isha after fusing with Airel. She goes on to become the Incarnate of Ghyran, the Wind of Life.

* TheChooserOfTheOne: [[spoiler: The entire Incarnates thing is his invention, based in Nagash harnessing the Lore of Death in Khemri.]]

** All in all, in his desperation to prevent the End Times, Teclis ends up doing far more damage to his own side than the Forces of Chaos could ever do.

* DefectorFromDecadence: [[spoiler:Steals the Widowmaker and attempts to give it to the Host of the Phoenix King in a desperate attempt to bring Tyrion back to his senses. [[DownerEnding It fails]].
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: Following the above, he's tied to the back of a chariot and dragged back to Tyrion's fortress. The entirety of the following night, he's mercilessly beaten by the enraged Tyrion, to the point where even the hardened Khainites of the Aestyrion are [[HorrifyingTheHorror unable to sleep because of the screams.]] By the next morning he's so badly broken that he has to be ''carried'' to the executioner's block, and is missing both his eyes. As a final adding of insult to injury, Morathi tells his executioner that nobody will think less of him if it takes more than one swing to behead him...

* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:He doesn't even flinch or relent in his task as Arkhan's spell takes hold him]]

* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Using his Fangsword to break through Arkhan's magical barrier [[spoiler:resulting in Fangsword's destruction.]] Then, [[spoiler:without a weapon, he tried to kill Arkhan by breaking his neck, yet it didn't work and led to Eltharion's death.]]

* Necromancer: After becoming the Avatar of Khaine, Tyrion can raise the corpses of the killed to be his minions.

** [[spoiler: Said trope is ultimately [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]], whether intentionally or not, as most of Teclis's efforts end up making an already bad situation even worse (his 'unbind the vortex' plan causes the deaths of hundreds of thousands of elves when it goes wrong and causes the sinking of Ulthuan, in return for only managing to bind ''half'' the Winds) or remove potential allies (Nagash's return subjugating or annihilating all the members of the Tomb Kings, the doomed effort to rescue Alithara costing the High Elves two of their greatest heroes and driving Tyrion insane with grief).]]

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Teclis steals the flame of Ulric and dooms Middenheim to the hordes of Chaos with the intent of using Ulric to resurrect his brother, because he thinks the world needs a champion more than an old god. Unfortunately, he didn't know Middenheim was also the site of a doomsday device, and without Ulric's protection the city falls, leading to Archaon discovering it beneath Middenheim and activating it. [[TheBadGuyWins Teclis and the Incarnates are unable to stop the device before it destroys the world]].

* PhlebotinumBreakdown: Once the Incarnates made it down to the doomsday device beneath Middenheim, Teclin was chained to the wall. Bereft of his staff and sword, he was unable to channel the Winds of Magic and so could not help until freed. His main contribution was to try and chain Aqshy and Ghur from their slain bearers to himself to add their might to the Incarnates as they attempted to contain the ever growing orb of blackness from the device. He barely able to contain the power of the winds and slowly started to get torn apart by their might. Once Balthasar Gelt was killed he was forced to try and get Chamon as well. Despite his great power, this was too much for Teclis who was almost instantly torn apart into nothing, the three winds let loose and the hopes of the world lost.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He will do ANYTHING to stop Chaos, knowing that the alternative is [[FateWorseThanDeath much worse]]. His plots include killing millions of people [[spoiler: sunders kingdoms, returns ancients abominations who'll turn on him the moment the world is saved]], but as far as he is corcerned, as long as the world survives, is worth it.
* WorthyOpponent: Nagash admitted, to himself, that Teclis' intellect is almost as great as his own. Coming from [[TheSociopath Nagash]], that is a tremendous compliment.

* FaceHeelTurn: He supports Tyrion even after the latter draws the Widowmaker and openly consorts with Morathi.
* HeelFaceTurn: He realizes his mistake in siding with Tyrion and attempts to make things right.
* KilledOffForReal: Beheaded by his own ax for trying to steal the Widowmaker away.

* DefectorFromDecadence: He's the first of the High Elven nobles to abandon the meek, bickering Phoenix Court of Finubar to join forces with Malekith.

* GodzillaThreshold: [[spoiler:He communed with Nagash before the latter's resurrection, conspiring to enable his return. It's implied out of all the things he's done, this is the one he regrets the most]].
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Teclis allows his niece to be sacrificed to resurrect Nagash, betrays his brother and king to throw his lot with the tyrant Malekith, knowingly sinks Ulthuan and steals the flame of Ulric, dooming the city of Middenheim to Archaon's hordes. But he's doing it all to save the world from the Chaos Gods.

* {{Manipulative Bastard}}: He manipulated both Mallobaude and Mannfred, the latter being a ManipulativeBastard as well.

* {{Xanatos Gambit}}: Pulls an impressive one to ensure Nagash's return.

* HeroicWillpower: His willpower is as great as Nagash's and he's the only one to successfully resist the latter's direct influence.

!!Abhorash

* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Vlad mentions that Abhorash and his remaining Blood Dragons have joined with Gilles le Breton and his Grail Knights to [[LastStand fight the forces of Chaos to the bitter end]]. Everyone agrees it was probably the most epic cavalry charge in the world.

* {{The Chains Of Commanding}}: Mannfred unties most of the vampire population of the Empire under his rule, but then he struggles to keep all of them under control.

* {{Teeth Clenched Teamwork}}: With Arkhan the Black.

* LoveEpiphany: Towards Arkhan the Black in the novels.

* {{Heroic Sacrifice}}: He willingly sacrifices his immortality and un-life to save Isabella from the clutches of Nurgle.

* HeroicSacrifice: His body is destroyed by the destructive forces caused by the meteor impacts on Lustria.

* KilledOffForReal.

* AndThenJohnWasAZombie: Turned into a vampire in the End Times novel "Return of Nagash".

[[/folder]]

* TrueCompanions: Unsurprisingly, to Deathclaw, his gryphon, which he takes the time to liberate from the chaos army. Bonus points as KF was broken, wounded and unarmed at the time.

* TheChosenOne: Many people believe that is the avatar of Sigmar himself, and he certainly is badass enough for that.
