Oenomaus

Oenomaus was a Human Gladiator-slave that lived upon Nuceria during the Great Crusade.^[1a]

Living in the same cave-prison as the young Angron in the city of Desh'ea, the older Oenomaus became his mentor and the closest thing he had to a father. The two formed a deep bond and reaped many victories in the gladiatorial arenas of Nuceria, which culminated in the two defeating two Berserk Ogryns equipped with the Butcher's Nails. After this victory, the masters of Desh'ea, known as the High Riders, demanded that the two battle one another to the death. However Angron refused and openly insulted the High Riders, which resulted in Angron being implemented with the Butcher's Nails as a form of punishment.^[1a] Upon being imbued with the Nails, Angron was loosed upon Oenomaus and tore him apart in a blind frenzy. Upon regaining his senses Angron realized what he had done and was driven to such despair that he unleashed a bestial howl that lasted for days.^[1b]
