Biography
Angor Rot was a warrior troll who lived during Gunmar's War for the Surface Lands. The ongoing war raids between Gunmar and Arthur had been happening for years, and ravaged Angor Rot’s village. At some point during this war, Angor had found a drowned girl and brought her to a sea cave in the Bulgaria's Black Sea that he had heard legends of, one where powerful spirits were said to reside who would sometimes come to the aid of magickind. Here he'd hoped that she might find peace with the spirits who communed there.
While the war between Gunmar and Arthur eventually ended at the Battle of Killahead, it left Angor's home in ruins and defenseless. In 1297 A.D., to gain the strength he needed to defend it from raiders in the war’s aftermath, Angor returned to the sea cave he’d once brought the drowned girl to, hoping that perhaps he could find strength for himself, too. Offering his flesh for power, Angor tried to barter with the spirit of the cave. Little did Angor know that within the cave, Morgana, the very person he had brought there years prior, lie waiting, driven mad with vengeance after being defeated and sealed away in the Heartstone across the world by Merlin and his traitorous apprentices. Though her physical body remained trapped, she had found a way to project her spectral form into this place of power. Embittered and agonized by her loss and imprisonment, Morgana saw Angor’s arrival for what it was— an opportunity. She would use Angor as her pawn, a trial run at stealing another’s power — an ability she might eventually be able to use on Merlin himself while he slumbered. She would take Angor’s soul, transferring it into the Inferna Copula, a ring with which she could control Angor Rot, and use him to erase Merlin’s legacy and kill his Trollhunters.
Under Morgana's control, he became a fearsome, sadistic, and aggressive assassin who took great joy in hunting his victims. Vendel even described him as unpredictable, since he can strike at any time, without warning. He was also very cunning, intelligent, and manipulative, using his brains and numerous traps to his advantage, rather than using brute strength. After being released from his imprisonment by Strickler, he is noticeably calmer, more patient, and more stoic, almost playing with Strickler and his fear of Jim and Gunmar, even after he was forced to work for him after Strickler wore the Inferna Copula, where his soul is stored. One such attempt included him sending out pixies to bring out Strickler's fear of Bular. After he accidentally destroyed the Inferna Copula, along with his soul, during a fight with Jim, Angor became uncontrollable, turning into a vicious and barbaric troll. In this state, he was considerably more impulsive and deranged, as he attempted to kill Strickler in a fit of animalistic rage, and vowed to kill everyone else who have wronged him, such as Jim and his loved ones. The only thing that did remain was his cunning, unpredictability, and sadism, as he gleefully stated that the only reason Jim was still alive is that he let his loved ones fall in his place, and because of this, he left AAARRRGGHH!!! to die. He was also shown to be arrogant, boastful, and prideful, though this ultimately led to his first downfall.

His concern for his people was so great that willing to deal with Morgana in exchange for the ability to protect his village from Gunmar during the War of the Surface Lands. However, he's shown his flaw either way when he overestimated and took Morgana's "generosity" for granted. After Morgana tricked him into giving up his soul in exchange for his nee powers, any sympathy left within him disappeared, consequently turning Angor him into an unpleasant, heartless, and bloodthirsty monster who caused

Te Staff allows Angor to create portals to a dark world seemingly filled with liquid, and reopen a portal to a destination of his choosing. Additionally, it can lengthen existing shadows in the real world, allowing light-sensitive creatures to travel in broad daylight.
