Meet the Dynasty #2: Overlord Kobeh

Kobeh daringly (and illegally) deep-strikes with his Deathmarks in a late 5E game.
Overlord Kobeh awoke from hibernation on the wrong side of the stasis chamber, took one look at the spread of the inferior races on the star charts, and grabbed his warscythe and headed out to teach those suckers respect for the true rulers of the galaxy.

Or so the story goes.  What is for certain is he is the opposite number of Lord Nahz; where Nahz is willing to let bygones be bygones, Kobeh will never forget a grudge.  Where Nahz is less than competitive, Kobeh is constantly testing and improving his tactics.  Where Nahz is ultimately pretty chill, Kobeh will never settle for anything less than perfection.  Considering the rather lackluster win-loss record of the Lahker legions, and Kobeh's short temper, he has earned his nickname of "Krazy" many times over.

Kobeh's career got off to an ignominious start when, subbing in for Kutlakh the World-Killer, he fought a Chaos Marine army.  He specifically fought the Chaos Lord, who was armed with the Murder Sword, which of course had Kutlakh's name on it.  Kobeh/Kutlakh failed to kill the Chaos Lord, failed two of his three invuln saves, and went on to fail his Ever-Living roll.  (His Cryptek, funnily enough, stood back up.)

Since then, Kobeh has kept a slightly cooler head, and gone on to lead the dynasty in many battles.  He is responsible for developing the majority of tactics used by the dynasty, for several epic challenges, and for leading the Kung Fu Kourt on its single successful deployment.  He is determined to maintain his monopoly of control over the dynasty's armed forces, and especially determined that the gaudily-outfitted Rynkelyh will not show him up.

The pilot episode for "Kobeh's Krazies" TV series received middling reviews, the future of the show is in doubt, much to Kobeh's ire.
