Gunter Stormpike was the highest decorated officer in the Bronzebeard army until one fateful night he meet a beautiful girl in the market. He fell in love with her and she loved him greatly. She could not marry him and they had to keep their love a secret. One night they were caught by the king, for the beautiful girl was one of the king's concubines. As the rules of the land state, the king was forced to kill the concubine. The Queen took this the hardest. She had to sleep with the King until a replacement could be found. She had to sleep with him three times before to make heirs to the throne, but no female ever truly likes to sleep with a dwarf. So it was her that decided Stormpike was to guard the prince in the blood bowl arena.
