Awusta was the first member added to the team post their entrance to the Open Leagues. Once a mighty Chaos Dwarf from Zhar Naggrund, Awusta believed like so many others of his kind, he would be immune to the pains of death on the field of Blood Bowl and would carve himself a formidable reputation. Unfortunately for him it was not to be.

In the first ever match of the Nightmares, Awusta was splattered into the ground by Ramtu the Immortal and from the messy remains rose a zombie. Interviewers have attempted to ask his opinion on this predicament but all he has to say about the matter is low grunts and moans.
