Lore

Axe leads an army of one, and he wouldn't have it any other way. He earned the name Mogul Khan in the ranks of the Red Mist, climbing by hacking off the heads of anyone above him. By the end of the seven-year Campaign of the Thousand Tarns, his reputation for glorious slaughter was unmatched, but his comrades had a habit of disappearing—mostly by his blade. When victory finally came, he declared himself General and took the title 'Axe,' only to find no one left to command. Soldiers now avoid him, which suits him fine: he knows a one-man army is the only kind worth trusting.
