Wazdakka Gutsmek

Wazdakka Gutsmek is the most famous biker in the Ork race, a Mek and Warbiker whose entire existence revolves around going fast and hitting hard. He began as a humble Evil Sunz mekaniak on the desert world of Khasak Prime, but he fell so completely under the spell of the Kult of Speed that his own tribe cast him out, and he became a Bad Ork Biker riding wherever the open road took him. From boyhood he had loved nothing more than stripping bikes down and rebuilding them to his own designs, except perhaps the act of riding the results at reckless, screaming speed.

His steed is a monstrously customised warbike he calls the Bike of the Aporkalypse, mounting a gun so powerful, the Dakkakannon, that it can gut a tank. Where most Ork bikers roll in packs, Wazdakka prefers to ride alone, and it is said he leaves the saddle only to make repairs, staying awake for days on end thanks to a steady supply of dubious concoctions brewed by outlawed Bad Doks. The rest of the time he simply rides, hard and fast and without pause, chasing the next great feat of speed and slaughter.

The legends that trail him are staggering even by Ork standards. He shattered the curtain walls of a fortress world and single-handedly ended a decades-long siege; he outraced the Wild Riders of the Aeldari to a sacred site and pulled flaming donuts through its burning ruins; and, most famous of all, during the Siege of Scalex VI he launched his bike off a towering hab-stack, smashed clean through the bridge of a Warlord Titan, and butchered the god-machine's crew from the inside.

In time, riding alone stopped being enough. Wazdakka became consumed by a grander dream: to unite every Speed Freek in the galaxy into a single unending Waaagh! that would burn across the stars on a tide of engines and dust. He has already gathered the largest force of Speed Freeks ever seen, and every reckless biker he meets seems only too eager to fall in behind him, drawn by the promise of the fastest, loudest, most gloriously dangerous war the Orks have ever waged.
