Middenland (Mortal Empires) Command

Hertwig van Hal

Hertwig van Hal exists now as a ruthless Witch Hunter who gives no quarter, but many years ago he was a mild-mannered medical scholar and physician in Altdorf. As a young doctor he used his gift for medicine to save countless lives in a budding career as a highly-skilled surgeon.

The van Hal surname marks him as being part of a renowned lineage of Witch Hunters. Curiously, Hertwig himself shuns the association with his ancestry, considering the shame of their progenitor Baron Frederick van Hal to be too much to accept. In a previous age, the evil baron had been an extremely powerful and notorious Necromancer associated with Vlad von Carstein. Frederick's terrible acts at the command of vast armies of the Undead compelled many of his descendants to take the Witch Hunter oath to atone for his sins.

Not all those descendants fulfil that destiny as a choice, however. Hertwig’s own path into the unyielding role of a van Hal Witch Hunter is a journey that has taken him from bustle of Altdorf to the tropical danger of Lustria.

Abilities

• Patch Up
  As a battlefield surgeon of great repute, Hertwig is able to swiftly dress the wounds of targeted friendly units, restoring their health.
• Hunter's Call
  When he shouts to stand and fight, his loyal men listen and heed their leader.
• Accusation
  The Witch Hunter levels his finger across the battlefield and accuses one of the enemy of arch-heresy!
• Slippery
  Those who are "slippery" cannot be cornered or pinned - they simply "slip" away…

Attributes

• Encourage
  This unit provides a Lord's aura and an encouraging unit will receive the larger of the two bonuses.
• Hide (forest)
  This unit can hide in forests until enemy units get too close.
• Immune to Psychology
  The unit is immune to psychological attacks (fear and terror).
• Fire Whilst Moving
  This unit can fire while on the move.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• Armour-Piercing Missiles
  The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
• Duellist
  This unit is best used to attack individual targets such as Heroes. As it can only damage very few individuals at a time, it is not suitable against hordes of weak enemies.
• Fire Whilst Moving
  This unit can fire while on the move.
