Samson, Azerai Guardian

LORE & BACKGROUND

A towering lump of flesh, steel, and sacred fury, Samson the Azerai Guardian is a paradox in platemail. A knight of immense girth and divine grace, clad in armor forged to fit a body as broad as it is tall. Where others see sluggishness, the faithful see symbolism: a living mountain of devotion, his corpulence a mystery of ritual, excess, or divine providence.

Samson’s weapon of choice is a pair of twin chain-flails, their spiked heads dragged behind him with a dull clatter, like the weight of penitence. In battle, he becomes a whirlwind of steel, his chains singing through the air in great sweeping arcs, sundering limbs and cracking bone with impossible elegance. Despite his bulk, his footwork is light, almost balletic, a dancer beneath the weight of gluttonous sin.

His helm bears the unblinking face of a bearded saint, its expression carved in serene, eternal judgment. Whether it mirrors Samson’s own features or those of a long-dead martyr is uncertain, and none dare ask. What is known is this: where Samson treads, walls break, sinners fall, and the will of Azerai is made flesh, heavy, holy, and unstoppable.
