Lore

Though Beast Master Xekaar is now chief among skorne beast handlers, he had to reach that position by rising above his own defeat. During a clash with trollkin in the desert, an explosion sent him crashing in a heap of broken bones and charred flesh, left for dead. Enduring through sheer will, he drew strength from his pain and eventually restored himself, though the pain never leaves him. He is the embodiment of the skorne principle that suffering is a crucible for strength. Joined in agony, Xekaar and his beasts have earned a reputation for ruthless brutality and limitless endurance in the face of even the most grievous wounds.

He is defeated in battle with Captain Gunnbjorn, due to a well aimed Bazooka and a Dire Troll Bomber, but he recovers.
