Capsule Bio

Munokhoi was born shortly after his older brother died. His parents named him “vicious dog,” hoping that it would confuse the evil spirits who stole their firstborn. Munokhoi grew up in the shadow of his dead brother, working hard to please his parents. He rode in the horde alongside them as they went to conquer the Jin Dynasty, only to watch them die in battle.

Munokhoi turned his rage against the Jin, slaughtering them with pleasure. His skill in combat was noticed by Ögedei Khan, who gave the warrior a place in the Kheshig – the Mongol Imperial Guard. Munokhoi soon proved his worth through fierce loyalty, and was promoted to Jaghun Captain of the Imperial Guard.

Munokhoi is a brutally efficient man who prefers to solve his problems quickly and violently. Years of childhood taunts over his name have given him a quick temper and a sharp tongue. He believes that the Mongol Empire should be governed through force, not through bureaucracy.

He has a soft spot for modern artillery, even though a very accomplished fighter, he has been known to drool for multi-tiered triple crossbows, and personally butchered a few dozen men in order to get his hands on a chinese arquebus.

Physical Appearance

As seen here:

"Munokhoi kept his hair short to the point of baldness, and combined with the gauntness of his face, this gave Munokhoi a skeletal appearance, despite the youthful length of his facial hair. His arms were anything but the thin sticks of a corpse, though, as they were thick and muscled. A pale scar ran from behind his left ear and disappeared into his tunic."
