Bio

[edit]
The self-righteous shall choke on their sanctimony.
▶️  Terrorblade, the Demon Marauder
Alias:
TB
Terrorblade is the Demon Marauder—an outlaw hellion whom even other demons fear. A cosmic iconoclast, he stole from the Demon Lords, ignored the codified rites that should have bound his behavior, and broke every law of the seven infernal regions. For his crimes, he was taught this lesson: even Hell has a hell. A short, brutal trial ensued, with many dead on all sides, and he was finally incarcerated in Foulfell, a hidden dimension where demonkind imprison their own.

But Foulfell is no normal prison. In this dark mirror of reality, demons are sentenced to gaze eternally into the twisted reflection of their own souls. But instead of suffering, Terrorblade made himself master of his own reflected worst self—a raging, thieving demon of unimaginable power. With his inner beast under sway, he destroyed the fractal prison walls and burst free to turn his terror loose upon all creation.

Trivia

[edit]
  • In DotA, Terrorblade and Anti-Mage were brothers.
    • This was to be kept in Dota 2 based on certain responses Anti-Mage made in Terrorblade's presence, but upon Terrorblade's release, these relations were severed and thus the lines went unused.
  • ▶️ "I go where angels fear to tread." is a reference to the line "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread" from Alexander Pope's poem An Essay on Criticism. Zeus also has a response that references this poem.
  • In Deadlock, Lady Geist's Soul Exchange ability may be inspired by Terrorblade's Sunder, both of which swap the current health pool of the target and the caster.
  • Warcraft 3 similarities:
    • Terrorblade uses the model of Illidan Stormrage, a campaign-only variant of the Night Elf Demon Hunter hero.
      • Metamorphosis's original iteration was identical to the Demon Hunter's Metamorphosis.
      • Illidan's model has a unique aspect, in that he leaves flaming footprints behind wherever he walks. This quirk was implemented for Terrorblade in Dota 2 as well.
      • The footprints are visible to the enemies as well, but are only rendered if they have vision over Terrorblade.
    • In DotA, Terrorblade's title is Soul Keeper. It was dropped in Dota 2, likely due to his thematic overhaul, as his current thematic design shares almost no similarities to his DotA counterpart.
    • Conjure Image's original iteration is based on the Wand of Illusion.
    • Terrorblade's old ability, Soul Steal, was identical to the Dark Ranger's Life Drain, with the channeling removed.
    • Terrorblade's title is taken from the Demon Hunters, who have a 1/15 chance to spawn with Terrorblade as their name.
