Axe/Lore


 * admires Mogul Khan for his toughness, as he does with other Oglodi.
 * Mogul is well known for his feats as a one man army after the fall of the first Red Mist army. Besides storming large castles, butchering armies, stealing treasure, and destroying entire kingdoms one of his most notable feats is the destruction of the Fortress of Valhessi's forces, including the Sorcerer King and the five Zongom Warriors.

Red Mist
All warriors of the Red Mist are their own blacksmiths and Mogul is no exception. During his time as a mere grunt, he attempted to forge a weapon with an axe, which he considers his only failure.

Mogul used to hold the title of the Reaper, a high ranking soldier who would slay any deserters in the Red Mist army. To those who are granted the position of Reaper, they are given tattoos that express the responsibility that they must carry and the respect that it bestows on those who wear it.

After the fall of the Red Mist, Mogul Khan may have joined or destroyed the Bloodmist army.

The Last Castle
The story takes place in the Hazhadal Barrens where Mogul and Goodkind have managed to reach the northern gate of the Fortress of Valhessi. Mogul greets the gatekeeper and introduces him to his bard Goodkind. He cheerfully inquires him about the location of the Fortress of Valhessi and the seven jeweled crown that is guarded by five "unstoppable" Zongom warriors, but the gatekeeper's taciturn nature forces Axe to stop his charade.

Slightly annoyed, Mogul asks for his name so that Goodkind may do his "bard thing" but the gatekeeper simply refuses to do so. Mogul convinces him again by saying that his bard needs to record his name for the sake of "accuracy of the historical records" which prompts the gatekeeper to reveal his name. Grigrikh introduces himself in an intimidating manner and taunts Mogul by calling him a "little pink ape". Likely offended by his remarks, Mogul leaves the scene without Goodkind, supposedly leaving him to be eaten by Grigrikh.

However, Goodkind reveals that Mogul did not leave him and he arrives shortly to perform his signature on Grigrikh, instantly killing him and destroying the gate behind him. With these moments, Goodkind successfully writes down the first few lines of their adventure. They venture into the castle and are greeted by an army of Valhessi soldiers. Fighting his way through the horde, Goodkind writes down the scene with some of his own embellishment (e.g. writing that Mogul was a disciplined fighter even though he was clearly enjoying the fight) until they made their way into the final chamber of the castle.

The five "unstoppable" Zongom warriors have been waiting for the intruders and they greet them with an eerie and synchronized speech. Axe halts their speech to take a moment with Goodkind, who might have thought that Mogul hesitated out of fear. Mogul makes it clear that he was simply weirded out by their unexpected speech and tells him not to write that he was scared of the Zongom warriors. He readies himself for battle and tells Goodkind to stop writing and watch him fight. Mogul decapitates the first warrior, does his second ultimate on the second warrior, disembowels the third and fourth warriors, and finally kills the last warrior in a fit of rage.

Mogul and Goodkind proceed into the throne room, where they find the Sorcerer King of Valhessi on his knees, supplicating them to spare him by offering the crown and the other riches of his throne room. Disappointed that their adventure has an anticlimatic ending, Mogul accepts the crown, but he is suddenly transferred into the body of the king, who reveals that he has swapped bodies with him and is now possessing Mogul. The Sorcerer King chases after Goodkind, while Mogul tries to rid himself of the spell. Goodkind tells him to destroy the source of the spell as it might be a channeled spell.

Rummaging through the throne room, Axe breaks every trinket that he can find to undo the spell, but to no avail. He realizes that the crown might be the source and holds it above his head exclaiming "Sorcerer! Behold your talisman!" and shatters it. The Sorcerer King ridicules his foolishness and says that he does not keep all of his power in mere jewelries. With quick thinking, Mogul realizes that his body is the source of the spell and runs out off the window to fall to his supposed death. The spell is nullified and Mogul returns to his body, much to the surprise of Goodkind who jots down what happened soon after.

With the draft for their next novel accomplished, Axe wonders where they should go next while Goodkind sends his draft with a carrier raven. After suggesting a few locations that they have already explored, Goodkind tells him that their stories are getting a bit repetitive and their book sales have been going down in several cities. He suggests joining the battle of the Ancients, which Mogul hesitates at first until he mentions that even gods will be joining the fight, leaving Mogul to reconsider it.

The Jungle
Axe once fought a gryftok. Wounded, the beast ran into a river, and Axe pursued, against Goodkind's protests. In the struggle, he dropped his axe in the river. Using his bare hands, Axe choked the gryftok to death, then used its body like a raft, falling asleep on it as it drifted down the river. He woke as the raft was about to go over a waterfall, just in time to hit his head on a rock. When he woke up, he was naked and alone in a jungle, possibly Fellstrath.

While in the jungle, he befriended a spider, and learned some herbal remedies.

Relationships
Axe is frequently accompanied by his scribe Goodkind. Whenever they go out on an adventure, he writes down everything that occurs in it, but he may also resort to embellishing his stories. Afterwards, he publishes these stories and sells them to different cities. Thanks to these stories, Axe's reputation has grown tremendously, but there are also critics and haters who regard these stories as stale and trashy. Axe has also started to train him in the arts of combat, starting with swordsmanship.

Axe has cast himself away from his fellow Oglodi, but he still retains their inner hatred for demons, which he expresses by paying Anessix an unfriendly visit. He also dislikes to kill other Oglodi. As for his fellow Oglodi, is keeping an eye on Axe in White Spire for reasons unknown. encourages Axe to be intelligent like him and Disruptor and if he plays his cards right, he might even teach him how to read.

Like all other Oglodi, Mogul Khan hates the Keen but he makes an exception for whom he considers as a worthy opponent.

Mogul Khan is being hunted by Sorla, a fellow Oglodi who took over leadership of the Red Mist army after he decimated it. When she catches him, she plans to flay him. Due to Sorla's bloodthirsty and violent nature, wishes to discuss with Mogul on how to best deal with her.
