Character

Varkal

Created by G4L4KTO

Sir Varkal of House Eckhart stood as the greatest warrior in King Eckhart's armies, a colossus of martial prowess whose very name made enemies tremble and whose loyalty to the crown seemed as unshakeable as the stone fortresses he defended. Yet when plague swept through the kingdom and the monarch fell gravely ill, Varkal was tasked with retrieving a forbidden cure from the Necropolis—a task from which no knight had ever returned. There, in those cursed depths, he discovered that King Eckhart had sent him not to save the realm, but as a sacrifice to appease the ancient powers dwelling below, a pawn to be discarded in exchange for the sovereign's own continued reign. The betrayal shattered something fundamental within Varkal's warrior's heart, and when the necromantic forces of that unholy place offered him the chance to return to the surface as an instrument of vengeance, he accepted their dark bargain without hesitation. Now his once-magnificent frame rots within blackened armor, held together by necrotic magic and an unwavering resolve to rebuild the kingdom in his image—not as a protector, but as a master. He commands legions of the risen dead with the same rigid discipline he once showed his mortal soldiers, and his great hammer falls with the weight of both his former honor and his present damnation, crushing all who stand between him and the reckoning he has sworn to bring upon the throne that cast him down.
