Banquo has only ever loved one thing and that was himself. Profoundly selfish, Banquo surprised everyone in the tribe of the Valkryians when he proved himself as a deadly warrior on the battlefield capable of tremendous feats of bravery and savagery in equal measures.

Banquo's love of himself was, in a sense, the fuel that drove him to become such a formidable warrior and it was this that drew Loki's interest. Indeed, the fact that Banquo was loved, despised and feared by his fellow tribesmen led Loki to believe Banquo held great promise of becoming a legendary blood bowl player.

Loki came to Banquo in the guise of a raven, and told him that he was not anywhere near as famous as he should be. Indeed, Loki told him that Banquo should be ashamed of his pitiful victories on the battlefield and that the only way to regain the favour of Odin is to become the greatest blood bowl player on the face of the Earth.

Banquo couldn't help himself and found himself signing up to the Ride of the Valkyrians the next morning, preparing himself for a legendary journey or an early grave...

In his very first match, Banquo earnt himself the respect of the fans by badly injuring one of the opposition in a local derby match against rival team the Icepelts!
