Varag Ghoul-Chewer
Major Blood Bowl stars come in all
shapes and sizes from the ubiquitous
Thrud to the diminutive Fungus. Some
fans idolise players because they are
handsome, or strong or very
charismatic. A few rare afficionados
actually notice and appreciate good
tactical playing. However, all true
Blood Bowl fans appreciate the
enthusiastic vandalism and outright
mayhem that Varag Ghoul-Chewer
brings to the game. Despite the regular
handicap of having to lead a team who
couldn’t collectively count the
segments of orange at half time, the
mix of Varag’s tactical brain and violent
playing style has ensured him a goodsized
crowd of rabid fans.
Varag was originally a foreman at the
Wolfleg lead mines in eastern
Drakwald, but was captured by slavers
from the rival Gouged Eye tribe in
2471. The following year, he was
spotted by the coach of their football
team, the celebrated Gort Severlimb,
while he was putting one of his captors
in the critical list. Quickly recognising
the potential playing advantages of
having a player who could make a few
rudimentary decisions, Coach
Severlimb took a tremendous chance
and put the inexperienced Varag at the
head of his resurrected 2475 team
(most of the 2474 Eye team had been
massacred by ‘Axeface’ Mangelsson of
the Vynheim Valkyries in Blood Bowl
XIV the year before).
Ghoul-Chewer was an instant hit, and
despite a few complications involving
some over-drastic punishments for
player insubordination, has remained
at the head of the increasingly
successful Gouged Eye team. His finest
hour so far was leading his team of
young braves to a second Chaos Cup
win a few years ago. Now he has his
sights set on moulding the Gouged Eye
into a team worthy of winning the
Blood Bowl championship too!
Varag Ghoul-Chewer is the most
complete Blitzer any Orc team has ever
had, and he’s a great captain, able to
keep the unpredictable Eye players in
line. More of the violence is conducted
on the pitch (or at least in the
opposition dressing room where it has
a chance of affecting the result) and
less of it is directed at getting the last
bit of fluid out of an already pulped
opponent. Varag’s motto is that his
team should keep breaking legs until
there are only enough left for the Orcs
to count. A few teams have come to
realise just how low numeracy is
among the Gouged Eye players!
... and added by me:
Today Varag is a freebooter of brutal force and probably one of Blood Bowls best and toughest player ever to enter the pitch. Varag loves to play with the underdog teams just to show the better team "who is the baddest, meanest orc around"
