Riot Van was once the famed Trollslayer Gavlar Gotreckson. Having played for a few teams as a rookie, he found his home at the Warhammer Whollopers after killing an ork lineman in his debut game. His carreer went from strength to strength for the team, having killed or seriously injured 103 players in his time on the pitch.

His death was one any troll slayer would be proud of. Surrounded by four Chaos Warriors he tried to stop a Blitzing Minotaur and failed epically. Having been almost ripped in two, the teams fans thought it would be a fitting tribute wrap him in the team flag and lay him to rest in the Stadium of Fire (His favorite place to kill people.).

On the night of Rebirth as people are now calling it. Riot Van awoke to the sound of drums pounding out a rythm in his head, he discovered the only way to keep the music alive(along with his reanimated corpse) was to kill people. so thats what he did. to a lot of people.

Since starting back on the Blood Bowl pitch, Riot Van doesn't seem to have lost any of the skills of his former self. In their first game he managed to kill Wilkens a Linerat for sas ratz and recruit him back in to the team.
