Ulric Blooddrinker, once star Blitzer in his previous life, now leads the Swartzhafen Nightmares on the field of Blood Bowl. After his career was cut short after a career-ending injury by an arrow shot from the crowd, and then having his body shattered and beat into hunks of meat and bone, even as undead Ulric still feels the rage which drove him while he was living. Adorned in the finest plate armour the Old World has to offer he is truly a formidable figure.

Freed from mortals' restrictions like sleep, thirst or hunger, Ulric Blooddrinker can spend all his spare time in training and scouring the different playbooks and strategies of old to perfect his team's play on the pitch.

Having returned to the pitch for the fourth time, Ulric upon being brought back was enraged. Just like in his glory days as a star blitzer, he met a brutal end against a Minotaur, his most despised and hated creature in the Old World. Upon being returned by the loyal necromancer, Ulric demanded to know the whereabouts of his slayer. He was relieved however, to hear that the beast was slain. To his surprise it was by none other than Gustaf Marrowblade, the infamous fouler. Once more, Ulric is now ready to face the Open Leagues. The only question is how long it will take him to be brought back for a fifth time! Ulric himself states it shall never happen again. Of course he said this all the other times but we decided not to question his statement.

The fact that Ulric was badly hurt in his first match back on the pitch leaves certain critics in doubt however.
