. "Boris Todbringer"@en . . . . . "Graf Boris Todbringer is the Elector Count of Middenland. Graf Boris was a great warrior and a brilliant statesman, and had been the head of his family (the Todbringers) for decades. The last years of Graf Boris were full of whispered rumours that personal and political problems weighed heavily on his mind. His battles with the Beastmen in the Drakwald Forest, in particular with the banebeast Khazrak whose eye he took and in turn lost his own right eye to the year after, were a ceaseless struggle.[1a] However, if these rumours were true, Boris Todbringer was a determined man indeed, for outwardly he remained a vigorous as ever, a fearsome fighter and leader. He regularly led the armies of Middenland personally, smiting his enemies with his Runefang and urging his soldiers to victory. Boris Todbringer was instrumental in the defense of the city of Middenheim and the province of Middenland when Asavar Kul and his followers invaded Kislev and the Empire. The armies of Ostland and Middenland, along with troops from Hochland and Kislev, fell back to Middenland where Boris Todbringer led the soldiers of the Empire in the defense until the Emperor relieved the city.[2a] When Karl Franz was elected Emperor after the death of his father, only Boris Todbringer of Middenland opposed him. Boris lost the vote despite the support of the High Priest of Ulric, but has since proved to be the most loyal and energetic of Karl Franz's Counts.[1a]"@en .
