Voici un texte trouvé il y a de cela un petit moment sur internet à propos de Luther Harkon:
"On the Eastern edge of Lustria, an expanse of beach and jungle is avoided, by Native and Old Worlder alike. This is the dreaded Vampire Coast, so named because it is the staked territory of Luther Harkon, emissary of the Blood Dragons. The denizens of this area are the foul descendants of this line and their slaves. Now, with the advent of the various explorer bands working their way onto the continent, the vampires have become more active and aggressive.
Forced to feed on cold reptilian and animal blood for centuries, they are keen to enter battle to gather captives. These poorwretches are dragged screaming into the darkest reaches of the jungle, where they wait for their new master's next meal…
The Vampire Coast is evidence that at least one doomed Norse expedition did in fact arrive in Lustria. However, by the time the adventurers arrived they were no longer truly Norse any more. What actually happened is difficult to reconstruct, the High Elves have discovered the most likely truths.
Apparently, in the year 876 (Imperial Reckoning), Norse raiders captured an Imperial Merchant ship, on which, amongst other things, resided the coffin of a Vampire Count, Luther Harkon. By the time the doomed longboat had reached the shores of Lustria, the entire crew had been enslaved or killed. Luther began to create a realm of death along a particularly treacherous area of coastline, littered
with the bodies of unlucky sailors who had journeyed that far south.
Luther is descended from the Line of Walach of the Harkon family, the same beast that invaded, and enslaved the Imperial Knight Order of the Blood Dragons. Why he was on the ship, if he was sent on a mission, or fleeing a greater Vampire Master in the Old World is unknown, but there is no doubt that his power is growing each year.
One dares not consider what would happen if Luther and his minions made their way back out of the jungles of Lustria, and returned to the Old World."
Le nom n'est clairement pas une coincidence. Games Workshop ne semble pas laisser ce genre de choses au hasard quand même.
Il me semble avoir déjà lu que Luther Harkon était surnommé le Duc Rouge, Fléau d'Aquitanie (logique puisque le Fort du Sang s'y situe). or, le Duc Rouge est mis en scène dans "Le Cercle de Sang" et est dit avoir contracté quelque chose lors d'une croisade en terre lointaine (Arabie ou quelque chose comme ça). Se pourrait-il donc qu'il s'agisse du même personnage et que Walach lui ait accordé le Baiser de Sang là-bas?
Il est probable que je me trompe mais j'aimerais avoir d'autres avis que le mien justement.
Merci à vous par avance.
