Inferno Preset Duel Heroes - Heroes of Might and Magic 5

Nymus (Level 15)

After witnessing the massacre of King Alexei and his knights first-hand during the War of the Eclipse, Nymus decided that overpowering tactics are the key to victory. As a result he has spent much of his existence researching the Infernal Gates and has achieved striking results: the troops he summons arrive much more quickly than they do for other Demonlords.
