LIETPOLD THE BLACK Border Prince, mercenary general, wanted criminal and dastardly sell-sword, Lietpold the Black (also known as Lietpold the Thrice-Cursed, Lietpold the Butcher and Lietpold the Liar) is a man to whom profit is more valued than honour or loyalty. Renowned across the Old World for his bloodthirsty and treacherous exploits, Lietpold is a vain, arrogant, vicious, paranoid and cruel despot; as bloody a tyrant as any in the Border Princes.
