Astragoth
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
Astragoth Ironhand is a the oldest living Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer Lord[1][2a] and the High Priest of Hashut.[3][5b]
The most powerful Chaos Dwarf sorcerer for a thousand years, his powers are now fading as he turns to stone.[1][3] Even his hands have now become petrified.[5b]
Apprentices who fail him are flayed to provide a enchanted protective mantle for the more favoured acolytes.[2b]

Quotes
| I will use Hashut's Blood to free me of this curse! Stone will return to flesh and then I shall fashion a throne at the top of Zhar-Naggrund, from which I'll will rule forever in the Great Bull's name.
