First of the Maggoth Lords

Orghotts Daemonspew

The self-proclaimed son of a Great Unclean One — a Maggoth Lord astride the monstrous Whippermaw, fighting to prove his daemon blood is more than a boast.

Orghotts Daemonspew is first among the Maggoth Lords, the trio of rotbringer champions raised alongside their monstrous mounts and bound to them by filth thicker than blood. With his brothers-in-corruption Morbidex Twiceborn and Bloab Rotspawned, he serves as the heaviest hammer in the Grandfather's mortal arsenal: three man-shaped calamities on three mountains of maggoth apiece.

Orghotts swears his father was a Great Unclean One, his mother a mortal witch, and his birth a blessing the realms have yet to properly appreciate. Whether the claim is truth or the most magnificent boast in Nurgle's service, he fights as though he must prove it hourly. From the back of Whippermaw — a maggoth whose lashing gullet-tongue can pluck a knight from the saddle at a spear-cast's distance — he swings paired axes whose wounds never close, wading through enemy champions the way other men wade through surf.

What drives him is a hunger for legitimacy that no tally of victories has yet fed. Orghotts keeps count of every worthy skull and every favour of the Grandfather, building his case deed by rotten deed for a seat among the daemons he calls kin. The realms can only hope Nurgle keeps him waiting, for on the day the Grandfather finally claims Orghotts as family, the last mortal thing about him will be his impatience.
