Craklin the Blackened Champion Lore Synopsis

Craklin, once an Ogryn shaman wielding magic to heal and rally his kin, fell into a grim fate when his clan was destroyed by Dathragon, a sorcerer-prince from the necropolis of lreth. Captured for his unique magical talents, Craklin was forced into servitude. Stripped of his former life, he became a brutal enforcer, compelled to enslave others and assist in horrific necromantic experiments. Though he resented Dathragon at first, Craklin’s respect for raw power soon turned to ambition. He sought to master the death magic his captor taught him in measured doses, yearning for the strength to dominate others as he had once been dominated.

When a band of Orcs led by the warrior Gharol attacked Dathragon’s supply lines, they were swiftly defeated and taken prisoner. Craklin, tasked with torturing the captives, found no pity for Gharol, seeing her as weak for failing to protect her people. However, his experiments inadvertently awakened powerful pyromantic abilities in her. Pretending compliance, Gharol bided her time before orchestrating a daring escape. During the ensuing chaos, she freed other captives, plunging the dungeon into turmoil. Craklin fought fiercely to suppress the rebellion, but when he confronted Gharol, she unleashed her newfound fire magic. The flames engulfed him, leaving him grievously burned, though he survived by drinking a potent necromantic elixir of his own creation.

Scarred and humiliated, Craklin feared Dathragon’s wrath for his failure to contain the uprising. Rather than face punishment, he fled lreth to plot his redemption. Determined to regain favour, Craklin vowed to infiltrate Gharol’s camp, sabotage her band from within, and deliver them back to Dathragon. His disfigurement made him unrecognisable, aiding his ruse. Pretending to be a lowly, injured wanderer, Craklin approached Gharol’s camp and offered his services as a cook. Though seething with resentment, he played the part of a bumbling, harmless servant, enduring mockery from the very people he once tormented.

Among Gharol’s band, Craklin became known as “Craklin” for the sound of his charred skin, a nickname that only deepened his simmering hatred. Though derided and dismissed by those around him, Craklin remains patient. Beneath his humble facade lies a burning desire for revenge. He waits for the perfect moment to strike, intent on reclaiming his former status, punishing Gharol, and silencing the laughter of those who mock him. His ultimate goal is as dark as his scars: to rise once more as a force of ruthless power.
