Vordine

Barbazus, also known as bearded devils or infantry devils, serve as Hell's elite shock troops and lead hordes of the damned into combat for their diabolic masters.

Appearance

Barbazus are roughly humanoid in appearance, although they would never be able to pass for human. Designed for battle, barbazus are heavily built and strong, fighting in a stooped position bowed under the weight of their own muscles. They are six feet tall when standing up straight, but appear shorter because of their stance. A barbazu's most famous feature is the beard for which they are named, made of sharpened, dirt-encrusted tendrils that twitch and move of their own accord. Barbazus often grab an opponent, pull them in close, then flay them with its sharpened beard. Practically all barbazus also wield serrated glaives; this vicious-looking weapon allows them to reach opponents from behind their own troops.
