Arch-Kavalos Zandtos

Arch-Kavalos Zandtos is a Liege-Kavalos of the Mortis Praetorians Legion, serving as Katakros' top lieutenant. He is one of the very rare few Bonereapers (alongside Katakros and maybe Vokmortion) that's made using only one original soul. His steed also looks more draconic compared to the more amalgamated equine-porcine look other Kavalos steeds have, and at the meta level is a popular choice for conversions.

History

Origins

In life, Zandtos was a refined assassin with an autistic fixation on death, and like Katakros he was from Flezich in Ghur. He spent most of his life as an assassin-mortician. For over sixty years, he was sent after targets, riding by himself to meet them before dismounting and dueling them, as he was also a skilled fighter. Zandtos was so skilled that he strived to make the deathblow as careful and clean as possible. Unlike other assassins, he also cleaned and interred his victims, even though that meant digging a grave for them and sometimes even scooping up their organs and severed body parts.

When Zandtos died, like many Flezichans, he went to the underworld of Ossia. Given Ossia revolved around hard work being its own reward, this was Zandtos' idea of paradise. Then one day Sigmar came along and brought living people to Shyish. They were loud and passionate and killed their enemies with great violence and leaving their corpses messy. This enraged Zandtos, every time he saw this angering him more until he reached the tipping point.
