Lord of War: Hro'Dtohz
Overview
Lord of War: Hro'Dtohz is an Arch-villain of the Rikti.
Heroes and Villains can find him in the following missions:
- Strike Wargod Hro'Dtohz from Serpent Drummer (Levels 40-50)
- Stop the Rikti from The Lady Grey during The Lady Grey Task Force (Levels 45-50)
Background
This young officer is the current Lord of the Rikti Lineage of War. Hro'Dtohz was originally trained as an historian, but he was soon regarded as a military genius. He was the one the Rikti mental network turned to in their darkest hour, and the one who organized the new military and the war against Earth. (2)
Brilliant but also considered extreme in his thought and action, (2) he thinks everything is a military problem.(3) The Rikti themselves have trouble to express the qualities they see in the Lord of the Lineage of War. Determination and genius are concepts they understand, but they fail to understand his main strenghts, such as his ambition and pride. Even the warrior's sense of honor and desire to fight are things that shine out of his profile, but which most Rikti could only barely comprehend. (2)
Hro'Dtohz has already heard the truth about the Rikti War, but he refuses to accept it, instead hiding it from his fellow soldiers. If the Rikti homeworld learns the truth, it would turn him from a military hero into a war criminal, and he'd have to face all that he's done. To this end he's planning on one last massive push: Hro'Dtohz plans to bring enough troops across to wipe out everything on this Earth: he is going to bring over the entire Rikti military from the Homeworld. (3 & 4)
Hro'Dtohz had been trapped on the Rikti Homeworld since the Omega Team sealed the conduit between worlds, but with the news from the Traditionalists that a tenuous gateway has been re-opened, the threat posed by the Lord of the Lineage of War is now all too real. (2)
