| Vánagandr is an article written by Tabor gorilla. |
Vánagandr (ヴァナガンドル Vuanagandoru?) is the Imperator of the Iron Legion, one of the most powerful and influential military organizations that currently plagues the seas of the New World. A monster clad in black, he is thoroughly feared both because of his ominous silhouette, his terrifying fighting prowess- that few people would be able to withstand, let alone match- and his utterly determined and merciless behavior in battle. Innumerable mighty creatures, from the mightiest beast to the most skilled warriors, have fallen before his blade, entire armies slaughtered like cattle. Vánagandr has left a trail of conquest and destruction, forcing entire countries to follow his banner or obliterated in a sea of blood and violence.
Besides his reputation, not many know the man that lies before his lupine armor. The truth is that Vánagandr is a cyborg, the crowning achievement of the scientist Simon N. Weil. His former identity was of Valierius Otho, a mere yet extremely talented gladiator from the decadent country of Midium. Almost slain after defeating thousands of enemies by himself, he was found by Weil while on the brink of death. The scientist who sought to create a being which transcended the limitation of the flesh, a god of destruction made of metal, found in Valerius an eligible candidate, thus granting a new body. Vánagandr is utterly subservient to his own “creator” and uses his colossal strength to fulfill Weil vision of word of science and prosperity, united under his heel.
