=====Baron Clyve Fangola IV=====

Chaotic, Man, Punisher-9, High Priest of the [[chaotic_gods|Slaughter King]], Baron of [[fang|Fang]]

The third son of Fangola III, Baron Clyve Fangola inherited the seat after the deaths of his 2 elder brothers from the [[hurgmoth|Emperor's]] displeasure.  On his accession, which he credited to the Slaughter King, immediately rendered the barony into a theocracy of his cult.  He slew all non-Slaughterite clerics and forcibly converted the populace.  He then went into deep and thorough preparation for war.

During the One-Year War, he had some initial success sacking the Dwarf cavern of [[c5|Hell-Hole]] and the tower of [[t9|Ravenwall]], both belonging to [[barlburg|Barlburg]].  However, his armies were defeated in the field and his Dwarf prisoners rescued by Jarl Ingvar's counter-attack.

Fangola also cultivated an alliance with [[Lorn|Lorn]] and intervened in the war between Lorn and [[Brant|Brant]] and [[Sinxth|Sinxth]], to some success near the end of the war. 

Fangola began to raise companies of Animated Skeletons and use them as additional garrisons for his own holdings, to the consternation of the Lawful world.  It is also rumored that he possesses a strange device that allows him to take the form of a gargoyle and summon more gargoyles to his side.  At one point he offered a reward for the finding and delivering of the Axe of the Slaughter King, but it seems was never found.

After the [[truce_of_fargus|Truce of Fargus]] was signed,  Fangola betrayed his former ally [[lorn|Lorn]] and seized several hundred farmers and townsfolk to be delivered to the Emperor for sacrifice.  Lorn was unable to respond and no other baron was willing to break the truce.
