"Heavily armoured and carrying a deadly axe, these horsemen deal in death. Exclusively."
Thought to be of Thracian or Scythian descent, and believing themselves descended from Herakles himself, the warlike Agathyrsi, also known as Acatziri, lived on a plain that is now part of modern-day Romania from around 700BC. They were famous for their unusual, relaxed attitude to breeding - where everyone belonged to everyone else - which instilled a sense of brotherhood and common purpose within the tribe in order to prevent in-fighting. The Agathyrsi were also known for their fearsome appearance. Their blue hair and tattooed bodies were frightening on the battlefield and an unusual sight away from it; the amount of coverage indicating a warrior’s position within his tribe.
