Occasionally the spiteful infighting and backstabbing within the ranks of the Hobgoblins will throw up a particularly successful and feared killer who will rise to prominence and style himself Khan, taking after the wilder nomadic Hobgoblin wolf-clans of the Eastern Steppes. These skulking killers can prove useful for marshalling their kin in battle, but should they prove too successful and be seen as even the remotest threat to their Chaos Dwarf masters' dominance, they will most likely end up impaled over their lord's gatepost as a reminder to others of the rewards of getting ideas above their station.[1a]
