In the early years of Karl Franz’s reign, a boy appeared at the gate of a Sigmarite monastery near Wissenburg and pleaded to be allowed to join the ranks of the warrior monks. Many years of hard training, intense study and inflexible discipline followed. The lean boy grew up to become a tall, muscular young man, whose fighting skills were soon a match for his instructors. He also proved an eager student of the Way of Sigmar and, at the completion of his studies, he could engage his old teachers in subtle dialectic duels. One thing remained for Luthor Huss to earn a place amongst his brothers, he needed to face Darkness in battle and defeat it.

Luthor left the monastery and walked across the Empire, preaching faith in Sigmar and looking for a chance to prove his worth. He found it in Weismund, a small town at the edge of the Drakwald Forest. There Luthor found the town's militia in full alarm, peasants and woodmen flooding to the relative safety of the town's palisade with their livestock. It looked as though they were preparing for a siege. Luthor soon found out that a large band of Beastmen had attacked the area and many communities had already been destroyed.

Luthor strode into the town, inspiring the defenders with fiery speeches and helping them get ready for the imminent attack. Help had been sent for, but the nearest garrison of regular troops was in Helmgart, and reinforcements would take days. Suddenly the foul Children of Chaos were upon the town. Great were the feats of valour that Luthor accomplished, the power of Sigmar was strong with him that day. His mighty warhammer struck down many abominations and a supernatural aura protected him during the fight. The blows of the enemies were unable to pierce his armour and the evil sorcery of the shaman who was leading the Beastmen was totally powerless against Luthor. Even a huge bull-headed horror succumbed to the implacable priest.

After two days of uninterrupted fighting, an imperial relief force reached the town and the Beastmen fled back into the forest. Luthor joined the troops in their pursuit, but when the soldiers reached the edge of the wood, they stopped, judging it folly to continue under the dark canopy of trees. Luthor was undeterred and followed the fleeing creatures of Chaos, determined to wipe them all out. The soldiers set up camp close by, in case the Beastmen decided to return. Soon everybody was convinced that the ferocious novice had surely been killed, but after three days Luthor emerged once more from the forest. His armour in tatters, his exhausted body covered in the blood of his enemies, Luthor reached the camp dragging behind him the massive horned head of the shaman.

After this victory against Chaos, Luthor returned to the monastery, where he was ordained. From that day on he has joined his brothers on the battlefield, where he has distinguished himself fighting the minions of Darkness.
