cons
-no quest line for phat lewt
pros
-unique skilltree
-knights of the white wolf and carroburg greatswords

otherwise he's just another basic lord that you can't modify his leader trait (monster hunter, monster tracker, noble etc)w

Nobody likes Boris Todbringer. At the end of time, instead of defending Middenheim, he abandoned his post and fled into the forest where he was destroyed by Khazrak One-Eye.

Lol what a chump, I think Gelt and some Brettonia lords were the only humans with a backbone and managed to do something of merit during end times

This is true

"At the age of 47, the graf took a third wife, Anika-Elise Nikse, daughter of the Baron Werner Nikse of Nordland. Unfortunately, the marriage produced no children, and Anika-Elise died ten years after the marriage. The graf had one more illegitimate child, Katarina, born to a lady-at-court prior to his second marriage. In recent months, however, the graf has been losing his usually firm grip on things. The graf's grief at Anika-Elise's death has slowly degenerated through melancholia into virtual feeblemindedness, so that he now does whatever a majority of his advisers tell him.[4b][3c]

What made the graf's decline doubly tragic, was the business of his two sons -- the elder Heinrich Todbringer by an illegitimate liaison with an ex-lady of the court, and the younger Stefan Todbringer by his first wife. This has proved to be a most unfortunate mistake, for Stefan has grown into a pitiful invalid. A palsied, feeble-minded, and drooling idiot, caring for him is made doubly difficult and exacting because of his extreme agitation and occasional outbursts of attempted self-mutilation and violence against others.[3c]

The elder son, the bastardBaron Heinrich Todbringer, was -- by contrast -- a man characterised by considerable intellectual gifts and physical prowess. For some years Heinrich has been entrusted with diplomatic missions by his father, but this gifted man has been put in a desperately difficult situation by the enfeeblement of Graf Boris. Since he wasn't the legitimate heir to the title he now had two mentally and physically enfeebled relatives above him, and he felt unable to take over the graf's duties without such legitimation -- how could he?[3c]"

In the first iteration of "The Enemy Within" ( a campaign for Warhammer Fantasy RPG 1st edition) Boris get killed by Karl Franz's mutated son and Heinrich Todbringer becomes the new emperor!

Probably this option would be the best for Middenheim, since Boris, like the rest of the Elector Count of the Empire, is nothing special and does not have an interesting history and mechanics. The only exception is Grand Countess Emmanuelle von Liebwitz, who has diplomatic and commercial talents, and rules a region unique to the Empire.

Looks like he gets beaten up there all the time

[Funky Monk]

Because Boris isn't technically a proper LL yet, he is more of a Unique genrric Lord atm. CA did say that he will recieve some love, we just don't know when atm. So for now, he's just there.

Still better then a certain Elf who died from a mean look from a skeleton.
Or another Elf who died to mere fellbats.

This speaks more on khazrak being a chad being the only beastmen with decent brainpower lol

Instead he is the boring generic lord in the game with no cool traits or abilities, at least Boris has cool abilities and a unique terror-bombing playstile on the battelfield with 2 debuffs

What's better? The lore literally says that he went crazy along with his son and lost his ability to function.

That's exactly why people like actual human characters that react as humans would. Flawed characters that act according to their character are actual interesting characters.

Funny that. He seems to be a lot more popular than a certain elf in a poll being ran on reddit currently.... seems like some people actually want him properly in the game

[chickabumpbump]

Gooooo Toddy! Doing well in the poll. Can’t wait for the Tod.

He is my best buddy
My Swiss cheese
My ragtime doll
My one and only
My tip top
My chum
My fish and chips
My sweet and sour sauce
My boy
My bro
Etc
