Description

A commanding presence among Abyssal foot soldiers, the Captain stands taller and stronger than its legionnaire subordinates. Its obsidian-forged armor is etched with infernal sigils that glow with a baleful light. Twin hellblades hang at its side, ready to tear mortal flesh, while a mantle of flickering embers drifts across its shoulders. With a roar that echoes like clashing steel, it rallies its soldiers forward in relentless assault.

Lore: Demon Captain - Elite leaders among Abyssal foot soldiers, Captains command squads into the fray, their presence bolstering demonic ranks with ferocious discipline. They carve paths of destruction through enemy lines, their twin hellblades stained crimson with the blood of those who oppose the armies of the Abyss. Their strategic cunning and brutal strength make them feared even among demonkind.
