Origins of The Toe Stubber, Part 1

 

Three decades ago in the underhive one of House Goliath’s Minor Families lead by Forge Tyrant Axion Helhammer had a falling out with his brother. 

Tyleor Helhammer was always known as a hot head.  His brother Axion was much more level-headed and was thus hand picked by his father to lead the Goliath House Helhammer after his death.  Tyleor and Axion feuded a lot when they were younger and always to get their father’s favor. Axion eventually received his father’s favor and became the lead Forge Tyrant of house Helhammer after their father’s death. 

Tyleor was furious at what he saw as a betrayal of trust from his father whom always said that the next ruler of house Helhammer would be the one who was the most successful in generating income and in recruiting.  Tyleor had always been more successful than Axion and yet he was denied the position in the end.

Tyleor then challenged Axion and his forces for control of House Helhammer.  A war broke out between the two factions and Axion won because he had secretly made a deal with a faction of Delaque.  The Delaque provided toxins and assassins and eliminated Tyleor’s immediate subordinates and sowed confusion and fear among his followers.  After a bitter two year struggle Axion won and Tyleor’s forces had been all but eliminated. 

Tyleor couldn’t believe what had happened to his militia.  He had the superior numbers and the better field generals.  When he was caught and brought before Axion in chains, Axion told his inner circle to leave the room and leave the brothers alone.  Axion’s own inner circle knew nothing of the Delaque interference.  Axion revealed what had truly happened and why he had won the war and now why Tyleor had to die. 

Tyleor was furious and he was much larger and stronger than his brother, he was a brute of a Goliath  and he summoned all his strength and fury and broke his shackles and charged at Axion ready to strangle him.  Axion was ready for this and used some digital weapons on his fingers supplied by the Delaque to immobilize Tyleor. 

Axion could be a very cruel person when he wanted to be and he usually was able to shield this side of himself from others and even his father didn’t know this about him.  Axion then bound Tyleor and muzzled him and beat him to an inch of his life.  Axion had Tyleor’s bruised and broken body transported to the edge of Hive Primus and dumped into the Ash Wastes. 

Axion presumed Tyleor would die soon after this but luck was on his side and he endured.  Tyleor’s anger and lust for vengeance kept him alive and he struggled through many weeks in the Ash Wastes desert and slowly over time he rebuilt his forces.  He continues to rebuild his army to take back what he believed was wrongly taken from him and he keeps the secret of Axion’s alliance with the Delaque as a bargaining chip if he ever gets back to the hive.  One day he swears he will destroy Axion and get his revenge.
