he Emperor Karl Franz is said to be the greatest statesman the Old World has ever seen. He is acclaimed as a patron of arts and science, as a military innovator and as a valiant general. Thanks to his continual efforts, the Empire has flourished during his reign like never before: the Imperial Engineers School has grown, the Colleges of Magic have thrived and his armies have marched from victory to victory. The Emperor frequently takes personal command of his soldiers, wielding Ghal Maraz, the fabled hammer given to Sigmar by Kurgan Ironbeard over 2,000 years ago.

Emperor Karl Franz often rides to battle on the back of Deathclaw, the Griffon he has raised from a hatchling. A powerful bond exists between the beast and its master, one forged in countless battles and many years of adventure. During the Battle of Blood Keep, Deathclaw stood over the wounded Emperor for three hours, slaying any who came near until the Reiksguard could hack a path to their fallen lord. Though it took the Emperor many months to recover, it is only thanks to the devotion of Deathclaw that he lived to fight another day.

You may include Emperor Karl Franz in your Empire army as a Lords choice.
