Grand Marshal Garithos (Complete Concept)

the Dark Knight

Grand Marshal Othmar Garithos led the Human Remnants of Lordaeron after the Scourge Invasion. Distasteful of non-humans, he saw any other race as cannon fodder. Ironically, this led to his downfall. He expelled Kael'thas and his kin from the kingdom, paving the way for the Dreadlords to occupy Lordaeron.

When Sylvanas rose to power, Garithos allied himself with her, promised that he would reclaim the destroyed lands of his people for the Alliance. Sylvanas had other plans. Mere seconds after Balnazzar fell, Sylvanas ordered the death of Garithos by Varimathras.

Garithos seeks vengeance beyond the grave in the Nexus, vowing to destroy Sylvanas and somehow return to his kingdom, and reclaim it for the Humans.

As a Grand Marshal, Garithos focuses on leading his allies into battle, and keeping them there until they triumph, by any means necessary. Garithos serves as a frontline melee specialist, who can lead his soldiers into battle to split push or fight with his allied heroes in teamfights, it all depends on how you build him.

Combat Trait

1
Warhorse
Passive: Garithos never leaves his armored warhorse. He ignores unit collision and deals trample damage to any target he runs over.

Active: Garithos commands his horse to charge, greatly increasing his movement speed shortly and impacting the first enemy hero. This enemy is stunned for 1 second after the collision.

Warhammer
Garithos throws his blessed Warhammer, passing through all targets until it reaches an enemy hero. The enemy hero is then slowed for 3 seconds.

This hammer will magically return to him after 7 seconds.

Garithos commands a bombardment on a target area. The area is hit by 3 volleys, dealing damage and slowing all enemies caught in the blast. Global range.

Minions enhanced are permanently buffed by this, until they are killed. Global range. Only one Garrison may be active at a time. Can be cancelled to incur a 45 second cooldown before applied to a new location. Minions buffed by this ability will lose their armaments if the Garrison is removed in the lane they occupy.
