Bio
Previously known and noble knight, this man was thrown into Hell where he was tormented by centuries. Now Lucifer has thrown him back into the living world, a distorted and unreasonable, known as King Leoric, the Skeleton King. Now he walks ahead, leading his minions and summing each of its solid and all-pervading eye, he brings to the world the will of the Prince of Darkness. With his magic hammer, dealing massive damage, King Leoric is a major threat on the battlefield. His great blade allows him and others, in his presence, to absorb the life of enemies. They say that it is impossible to kill, and the blows of his hammer worried one.
