Drenok Johansen,

Wielder of the great axe

The great sagas of the Norse tribes tell of a mighty warrior known as the Wielder of the

Great Axe. Long ago in the icy, inhospitable tundra of the Norse land a young clansman

with fire in his eyes and passion in his heart left his clan in search of his father's fate. His

father was Johan warrior-prime, Chieftain of the Clan Icefang, possessed by a demon of

Khorne. His father had disappeared rumoured to have travelled across the seas. Leaving

the clan in a self-imposed exile he was never seen again in the lands of his birth.

After many a long year within the realms of the Old World Drenok took ship to the New

World in search of his father. Weeks dragged on into months and months into years until

finally the day came when the two mortals

finally crossed paths. Only then did Drenok truly know fear. For when Drenok looked

into the face of his father he saw the Daemon within. A titanic struggle ensued between

father and son. The battle was fierce and long, lasting for many hours. With each wound

Drenok inflicted upon this demon, his father, anguish and rage consumed his soul.

Finally his father fell and the battle was won. But this was no true victory this was a day

of mourning. For Drenok had now lost a part of his soul he could never reclaim. He

gazed upon the great axe, which lay at the feet of his father's corpse and realised it to be

the legendary axe of the Icefang, his clan. Lifting the mighty axe above his head, his hair

braids blowing in the wind he roared in defiance of world. His quest would be to bring

honour to the death of his father.
