Engra Deathsword

"Few names in the history of Kislev still evoke as much dread as that of Engra Deathsword. So complete was his destruction of Praag that the ruins of the city were infused with the stuff of Chaos. Old texts tell of the walls, once made of stone, transformed into a grotesque, fleshy substance said to be remains of those warriors who fought against the dark Champion's horde. These walls grew faces, and their mouths screamed blasphemous curses, driving those who heard them mad. He was merciless, relentless and nigh invulnerable, clad from head to toe in armor of midnight black. His weapons were imbued with the unholy power of the Dark Gods. It took no less a man than Magnus the Pious to put an end to his bloody campaign. Had it not been for noble Magnus, the greatest cities of the Empire would have suffered the same terrible fate as Praag."

- Tzarina Katarin of Kislev

Engra Deathsword, known also as the Butcher of Praag, was a mighty champion of Chaos and lieutenant of the Everchosen Asavar Kul, during the cataclysmic Great War against Chaos of 2302 IC. He, along with Sven Bloody Hand and Valmir Aesling, led a massive horde of Chaos Warriors out from Norsca into northern Kislev.

Engra's name is amongst the most dreaded and despised in all the annals of Kislev's long history. While Sven Bloody Hand's devastation of Erengrad is remembered with much vengeance by Kislevite and Imperial alike, and Valmir Aesling broke the power of the Dwarfs of the north for all eternity, Engra Deathsword's annihilation of the northernmost of the Kislevite cities was an act of utter horror. The monstrosity of the act so pleased the Dark Gods that a black wind blew from the north. Roaring out of the Chaos Gateway, it boiled through the Troll Country, raging into northern Kislev. The wind howled through the pathways of the city, transforming everything it touched. Man and stone bled together into grotesque, living sculptures, distorted faces writhed out from the walls, and imprisoned souls screamed in agony, entrapped within the twisted stones of the city, while their agonized limbs writhed out from between the flagstones of the pavement. By the wrath of this one Norscan warlord, the city of Praag had become a nightmare incarnate -- and a taste of what awaited the Old World were the armies of the north victorious in their struggle.

History
Engra Deathsword was one of the three generals of Asavar Kul's forces, drawn up from the Norse tribes. Alongside his fellow Norse champion, Valmir Aesling and Sven Bloody-Hand, he led the 'northern arm' of Kul's army into Kislev, despoiling many Ungol settlements along the way. While the Norsemen assaulted the south directly, Kul led his Kurgan army out of the east, through the High Pass of the World's Edge Mountains.
