Abhorrant Archregent
Wild beyond measure, the Despicable is a majestic terror born of blood and shadow. Gifted with vampiric strength and speed, and tempered by frenzied madness, they can turn mortals into innards in a matter of seconds. Mesmerized by their anger, their courts crowd around their feet, eager to aid in the bloody task.
A loathsome king is a vicious beast who thinks he is a noble king. Whether scuttling along the ground at incredible speed or riding the back of an undead monstrosity, an Abhorrant Ghoul King is death incarnate. Time and the curse of the Carrion King have given the Abhorrants a hideous appearance, far removed from the timeless beauty of other Vampires. However, they are no less deadly than their bloodsucking counterparts. This is most evident in battle, as the Loathly One happily feeds on its enemies, streams of blood spilling down its face as it drains its vital essence from screaming warrior after screaming warrior.
If a hideous king's size and supernatural strength weren't enough to terrify his enemies, then there is madness that burns in his eyes. The vampire's deception makes him a fearsome and unpredictable foe, greatly feared by the races of the Mortal Realms. Driven by the belief that he is a righteous noble and that almost all creatures outside his court are savage barbarians, the king refuses to threaten his people. Perhaps more frightening than the conviction this madness bestows on the king is his contagious nature. Those who linger too long in the presence of the abominable risk losing their own sanity until they, too, see the king as he sees himself.
Abhorrants, like many Vampires, are powerful sorcerers imbued with the magic of death and darkness. Abhorrant Ghoul Kings can use their ferocious sorcery to sew their wounds back together, heal the broken bodies of their mounts, hurl bolts of death magic, or even summon troops with just a gesture. Through this dark sorcery, the Abhorrant is also able to transform a wretched cannibal into a taint - it is the crucial ingredient in his dark feasts and the key to the expansion of his court. With a delicate flick of one of his claws, he can imbue blood potions with a strange and ferocious power, turning those who drink them into disturbing horrors bent on his will.
The Abhorrant Archregent is a powerful warrior, sorcerer, and leader of any force in the Flesh-eater Courts, tearing through his enemies in melee combat, providing reinforcements for your army, and even casting spells in the hero phase.
