Yellow Ash was a Waste Preacher.
History[]
It is not known where Yellow Ash came from, or how he became so devoted to the Lord of the Wastes. Based on his appearance he was most likely born in Thrane, but his mind had been warped by the dark religion of the sand elves. Yellow Ash raised Rexxar, and abused him in ways which ranged from petty cruelty (addressing him only as "cowface") to shocking sadism (forcing him to murder a kidnapped child). Rexxar ran away after this latter event.
Description[]
One of the more fanatical servants of the Desolate One, he had pale skin, clouded eyes and long, stinking black hair. He seemed driven to torture and humiliate innocents (particularly infants), taking his name from his habit of burning his victims and urinating on their remains.
In the Campaign[]
Yellow Ash was briefly sighted byLannus, Vantis and Rexxar in Snake Fortress - following the orders of Sobek and Ahiravan. They later encountered him while he was attempting to unleash the Hazhar Horror on the city it was named after, but Lannus banished the great worm and Vantis killed Yellow Ash with his spear.
