Anda

Anda (a.k.a. The Scourge of the Steppe)

Anda was a very large, very smart, very fast and very scary centuar that terrorized the North Yamuhi Steppe for 23 years. He took over many herds and made himeself a horde of around 1,600 centaurs. With this horde he rained terror, fear and destruction on many convoys, caravans, towns and lone travelers. He raced around the steppe with his horde and ate whatever he pleased. He ate cattle, sheep, horses, lions, cheetahs, elephants, humans; anything he could chase down with his fleeting speed and kill with good iron or steel weapons captured from the peoples in the step.
After suffering a crushing defeat at the battle Ondoyo at the hands of the Bashurian king Ke-Sho Khazai, Timun Khan wanted to prove his might as a warrior to his people. He sought to track down and kill Anda for that very purpose. He believed that if he showed everybody that he defeated a mighty warrior that eluded his predecessors for years, it would show how great a warrior he was. After starting a ruthless centuar extermination campaign, Timun attracted Anda's attention, and they then proceeded to meet each other in battle. Timun defeated Anda and killed him in battle. He took his corpse as well as all the other centuaur corpses and brought them to his seat of power where they were displayed, and Timun threw a lavish party to celebrate his victory. The remains of Anda's horde which survived the massacre quickly fell apart into small herds after the death of their leader.
