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.

In the past, Angor Rot was a caring individual who wished only to protect his people after Gunmar's war ravaged his village. 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
