Predators: 1000 AD Bio: "On 28 June 1098, the crusaders defeated the Muslim commander Kerbogha's forces in a pitched battle outside the city. According to Christian eye-witnesses, an army of Christian saints came to the aid of the crusaders during the battle and crippled Kerbogha's army. While it is impossible to determine the number of entities eye-witnesses saw, one was described as emerging during a crusader's charge, 'with holy light from heaven', wielding an immense broadsword. The savagery that the 'saint' of Antioch displayed may help explain the particularly intense level of atrocities committed by Christian soldiers. In particularly, the decapitated, skinned bodies of the Muslim army's division commanders."

im really loving your predator concepts!!!
@mister garbage: Norse Predator? Partially. Predators: 1000AD Series 2 has a 'Bad Blood' Predator that begins on the coast of Newfoundland, and works it way down into South America/Myan culture.
Thanks to everyone for all the positive feedback on this, and other Predators in this series. I get notifications via email of posted comments, so if you have a specific question about a figure, I'll do my best to post an answer.
