Garrek
Garrek Gorebeard is the chieftain of a murderous band of Bloodreavers, called Garrek's Reavers, of the Goretide. He earned the title of Gorebeard after ascending to his position by biting the throat of a rival, staining and matting his beard in blood.[1][2i][3a][3b]

Combat
On the battlefield, Garrek is a whirlwind of unsuppressed violence, fighting to a drumbeat only the blood-maddened can hear.[2h] This is even more effective near icons and totems of Chaos, especially those of a Khornate nature.[3a][3b]
Garrek greatly enjoys taking grisly souvenirs from those he slays, like severed heads and scalps, and brandishes the fresh trophies to inspire his warriors. Beyond his enemies, he is also said to personally gut and skin his warriors if they fail to obtain a worthy trophy with each battle.[3a][3b]
Equipment
Garrek wields a fearsome Blooddrinker Axe into combat.[2i][3a][3b]
As a Bloodreaver he rejects heavy armour so he can feel the blood of his foes splattering on his chest.[1]
