Mogdos Gilt-Toof
Mogdos Gilt-Toof is an Ork Bad Moons Warboss.[1]
Overview
Said to be the richest Ork in all Charadon, Mogdos’ deep coffers of teef are vast enough to pay for the services of the best Big Meks and Painboyz around. Once, he was a mere fang-ripper from a Bad Moons scrap fleet that was following in the shadow of a tendril of Hive Fleet Leviathan. The Ork vessels were scavenging the dead worlds the forward elements of the Tyranids had attacked, before the bio-ships stripped the worlds completely. All was going well until the crews of the scrap fleet disturbed a dormant nest of bio-horrors on a dead human factory world. Mogdos was the only Nob to make it back to the fleet alive after the ensuing battle, and ‘inherited’ its wealth, setting up base in the nearby Charadon Ork empire and throwing in his lot with the Arch-Arsonist of Charadon Snagrod. Since then Mogdos has followed Snagrod on his rampage across the Ultima Segmentum, making sure the other Warbosses pay their due and commissioning Meks to build the biggest and best war machines. For this reason the Arch-Arsonist keeps the Bad Moon and his Boyz around, their flashy wagons and Mogdos’ golden grin a prominent fixture in the Waaagh!.[1]
Mogdos’ reputation also extends beyond the reaches of the Charadon empire, and stories tell of how, when he filled his first ship full of teef, he hid most of it. This legend of Gilt-Toof’s treasure is told, in the main, by grizzled old Freebooterz, and has inspired many a greedy warband of Orks to wander off into the void looking for it, raiding worlds, and terrorising local populations in their quest for the alleged cave full of teef. However, the Freebooterz’ stories contradict each other, each one giving different clues to the planet’s location, ensuring the legend of Gilt-Toof’s hidden hoard continues to remain a mystery.[1]
