Few servants of the Mikage were as feared as the Crimson Horn, Nogoryo. Though a mere man, he was the only being to survive apprenticeship to the aged Blademaster Shan, himself the last living practitioner of a host of ancient Dawnlander martial arts. All the covert crafts, spying and infiltration, sabotage, misdirection, and assassination, were well-known to Nogoryo, and the Mikage used him to his fullest extent. He was employed as a hidden blade to end those who challenged the Autocracy, especially after parts of Yakai began to rebel.

Nogoryo delighted in his dark trade, especially the satisfaction of a successful kill. He relished his reputation, and the fear experienced by those who became aware that he was hunting them. The Mikage might have successfully used him for many years, had greed and jealousy not taken hold of Nogoryo's masters.

The assassin's deadly work brought him to the attention of the Mikage's most senior leadership. This was not the blessing it might at first have appeared, for one Demon in particular became fixated on the idea of claiming Nogoryo's body and using him as a vessel to wreak devastation across Teleria. Nogoryo was ordered to submit to a Mikage ritual that would see the Demon enter into his body. At first, Nogoryo did not protest, for the claims that conjoining with a Demon brought great power were generally believed by the Mikage's footsoldiers and servants.

The night before the ritual was to be enacted, Nogoryo's sleep was disturbed by a vivid dream. A beautiful woman, blazing with radiant light, came to the assassin. She warned him that he had been misled, and was about to be betrayed. Demons did not always cohabit with a host's original soul. Nogoryo's spirit was to be torn from his flesh, his form used as a vessel while his own consciousness was left to disintegrate into nothingness.

Nogoryo tried to deny the truth of what the woman said, but she made no answer. He started awake, and found his tent still suffused for a few moments with the woman's otherworldly light. As he pondered what he had been told, he also became aware of noises outside, a Mikage soldier, judging by the rattling of armor, come to stand guard. Why would he be present, if Nogoryo was not a prisoner?

Nogoryo took action. After luring the guard into his tent, he killed him silently and took his armor, while making the corpse appear like his own sleeping form. He then stole the swiftest horse in the camp and slipped away.

As soon as his escape was discovered, the forces of the Autocracy launched a ferocious pursuit. Over the weeks that followed Nogoryo slew or evaded both Mikage troops and a number of assassins who had been tasked with hunting him down. While exalting in the thrill of the deadly pursuit, he also knew they he could not remain within Yakai and avoid the Mikage alone indefinitely. At the same time, he was aware that if any within the forces of the rebellion identified him, they would likely kill him on sight, rather than believe that he had truly abandoned the Autocracy. Hunted and harried by both sides, Nogoryo became a phantom, a legend told to keep unruly children in line or to earn coins after a fine tavern retelling. Whether or not he survived the rebellion and the fall of the Mikage is uncertain, but some claim he still stalks Yakai, a merciless killer who has broken the constraints of mortality, in exchange for fealty to the one who saved his soul from annihilation.

Nogoryo can be summoned from Ancient Shard, Sacred Shard and Primal Shard as a Epic champion.
