Harsdrubal the Hammer

Hardsdrubal was a Taznikanze trader who lived about a century before the founding of the Tasnica Republic. Sailing along the rivers around Centwerp one day, he happened upon a dwarf drowning (dwarves are poor natural swimmers). Harsdrubal rescued the dwarf, and the dwarf master smith Rodoald, and offered to forge Harsdrubal a great weapon. Harsdrubal requested "a bad-ass spiky hammer, and if it shoots fire, that'd be awesome" (although the translation is slightly tricky), and that is just what he got. With his hammer Flammenherald Harsdrubal managed to get together a decent-sized fleet of Taznikanze to "go viking", and soon became a warlord. It's said the Harsdrubal wished to become another Hauscarl the Lionheart, but more likely he just liked to smash stuff with his big fiery warhammer.

Ultimately, Habar, leading other Ingrish armies, managed to defeat him. (Zahd had apparently taking a shine to him, though, and when he was killed, Zahd ate all the Habari children. Because that's the sort of thing Zahd does for his friends.)
