Werewolf Knight - Corsicus

[Medium Sized Model - 25mm Base]

Once a knight in the kingdom of Mayreth: that is a life now long behind him. During the Autumn of the Falling Moon, Corsicus was beset by a group of Werewolves who were permanently changed during the three months of the full moon. He was infected with Lycanthropy, and quickly became part of their pack. Now he finds himself bonded to them, and aims to aid them in overthrowing their vampiric tyrants on Saltmist Isle.

A knight of Mayreth’s heavy cavalry, Corsicus was one of the frontline fighters who put his life on the line in defense of the frontier lands that were being ravaged by the raiders of Alimroth. Often his patrols saw him During the Autumn of the Falling Moon two years ago Corsicus was beset by a horde of Werewolves: vagabonds forced into permanent transformation under the fixed full moon. Though he was able to slay half a dozen, their numbers were too many. He retreated, but was hounded by them until his consciousness faded as a stream of blood gushed from his side.

He was surprised to awake, having made peace with his gods as the light faded from his eyes. There was no sense in him for how much time had passed, but he found himself surrounded by men instead of ravenous Werewolves, yet he found their scents familiar. They would introduce themselves as the Wardens, a group of Werewolves that would usually aim to keep their kin in check, though they lost themselves during the constant full moon that loomed above for three months, for which they apologised. They offered Corsicus a place among them, noting that he would have little chance at a normal life again. Feeling he had little other choice, he took their offer, roaming with their pack.

They have since left to Saltmist Isle, where Corsicus has taken a somewhat authoritative position as a symbol of hope for the Werewolves there, who have been the subjects and food of Arthur Belfrie’s vampire coven for years. Corsicus promises to free his brethren, even if it means freeing Arthur Belfrie’s head from his shoulders beforehand. By uniting various clans and tribes split across the isle, Corsicus has formed a formidable army to rival the vampires, though they seemingly are undeterred by this and the looming threat of an assault on their township.
