Origionally named Karnok 'The Punchbag' Mattok, Mardy Bum was a chaos warrior who had the misfortune of playing for the Chaos Poor Stars. The team had such a poor injury rate that the only thing the supporters bet on was who would get knocked out first.

The Punchbag was a fan favorite, 47 games played and he was knocked out or seriously injured in every one. He got killed 11 times but the teams Appothecary was just too good to keep him down. His final demise came at the hands of the Halflings of the Egginville Scramblers. Shell-don Cooper got a lucky blow that somehow managed to penetrate Karnok's armour and kill him outright. So impressed were the Chaos fans that after the game they wrapped his corpse in bacon and left him as an offering to the Halfling Gods!
