When crafting Black Vasken, the Tattered Prince, I drew inspiration from
Gav Thorpe's "Better Than the Rest" hero creation article to deepen his
abilities and narrative. Thorpe’s approach to hero creation emphasizes
not only power and stats but also the integration of a character's
history, motivations, and evolving path to greatness. For Black Vasken,
this philosophy helped elevate his transformation from a mere statline
to a symbol of Khorne's bloody might, illustrating how a hero's trials
and growth shape their narrative within the Chaos pantheon.
