For a while, I thought the Volkov in Lin Fei's lore might have just been a random reference to Alexander Volkov, a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter from Russia who sometimes goes by the name "Drago" or "Sasha." Since I didn't see BMG collaborating with UFC or a similar company to get a real-life fighter, someone still alive and punching, into their game, I simply made a small Volkov page on this site and moved on.
#VOLKOV BRAWLHALLA FULL#
It was only a matter of time before we got a vampire in Brawlhalla, especially since vampires have already come up several times before in the lore.īefore his full reveal on December 17, 2019, any Brawlhalla lore fans are indeed speculating that Volkov would be the name of a future legend, just like how Fait was teased way back in Isaiah's lore. We already have a lich, a werewolf, even an evil alien overlord. Here, few speak his name, calling him Das Vampyr, Wampierz, Upyri, or Gramps ( Caspian only). Valhalla is not at all where Volkov expected to wind up, given his resume.
Well, the Batavians thought, there's always a silver lining. Batavia's many foes did not know what had happened to make Volkov an even more ferocious warrior, but after Volkov put enough heads on pikes, they decided to go marauding elsewhere. Volkov was fiendishly practical about his new unlife as a vampire. That she appeared outside the window, fifty feet above the ground did not bother Volkov. Volkov ignored their gossip, as he was too busy getting to know an enchanting fanged lady who visited his bedroom every night. Before long, the Batavian court was placing bets on whether their sovereign would wind up a lich, a werewolf, or some kind of hungry wraith. But as king, living over a hellmaw proved too much. Haunted suits of armor walked the castle halls and zombies shuffled through the gardens.ĭashing Prince Volkov earned the love of his people as the fiery defender of Batavia. At dawn, voices could be heard discussing infernal lunch plans.
At dusk, great clouds of infernal bats vomited forth from the gateway. In retrospect everyone agrees this was an unforced error. The Royal Castle of Batavia was constructed over a large hole in the ground that was a gateway to hell.
