Oradius the Merciless

Oradius the Merciless was a Kretec warlord and the main antagonist of Warlord's Demise. He burned down Zagor Ridge Village and killed Morla Dorgak. He was the most feared individual in the land, until he was slain by Kronan Dorgak.

Not much is known about Oradius because he was not one to boast of his conquests. Not many survived his conquests to tell the tale. It is known that his soldiers burned Zagor Ridge Village for no apparent reason other than terror. Oradius basked in the terror he created and enjoyed the fear in the eyes of everyone in his presence, even his soldiers. He had no living relatives, and nothing is known of his early life.

He had no issue with slaying his soldiers, even on a whim. It is said that he would eliminate his entire army over a misplaced arrow. His army consisted mainly of his own enslaved species, the Kreteces. He only ate uncooked ptort meat. His chef, Garrakus, was once slain after he tried to serve him glork meat in substitute.

He was eventually slain by Kronan and his rogues in his stronghold. His corpse was burned in the fires of Korknak, as is custom with Kretec warlords.
