Erzebet joined the dark army of Black Priors after having her faith crushed before her eyes. Even after Apollyon's fall, Erzebet intends to show all the power of darkness.
Overview[]
Erzebet prayed to the Gods every night. Until the day she stopped.
During the Battle of Blood Lakes, Erzebet led an army of Knights against a horde of Vikings. But fortune favored the enemy. Death was assured… ‘The Gods have abandoned us,’ she thought. She directed her army to the frozen lakes of the Underlands, and forced the Vikings to follow them.
There, a vicious clash began and the frozen ice was soon painted a sickening red, but the Knights could not overcome the Vikings. And if death would find them on this lake, Erzebet decided the Vikings would join them. She lifted her shield and slammed it into the ice. A sickening crack rippled out from her shield and across the icy battlefield. All warriors stopped fighting, watching death approach. All at once, the sheet collapsed, drowning all.
Erzebet awoke on the shore of the lake. She stared out at the blood red hole in the ice. Nobody knows how she survived, but rumors speak of a black hawk saving her…
The lakes of the Underlands were rechristened the Blood Lakes, as a remembrance of Erzebet’s gruesome victory. Following the battle, she joined the Black Priors, who were truer to her beliefs than the Knights were, and became a fierce wolf under Apollyon’s rule.
When the Black Priors emerged from exile, Erzebet seized this new opportunity to show the true meaning of courage to all Knights.
Horkos[]
Erzebet would later become one of the leaders of the Knight and Wu Lin Horkos, held jointly along with the Zhanhu Fu Huo. It was revealed she joined the Order of Horkos willingly and later captured the Blackstone Fortress as well as spreading the corruption there.
She shows up as the main boss during the final phase of the third Tales of Rebellion, defending the Armory at the Forge. She is defeated at the end of the event, although it is unknown if she is permanently dead as Draconite has proven to be a means to revive someone.
