Sigmar Heldenhammer, also simply known as Sigmar, is the titular overarching protagonist of the Warhammer Fantasy franchise and the titular main protagonist of the Warhammer: Age of Sigmar franchise. His Warhammer 40,000 counterpart is the Emperor of Mankind.
He is the once mortal man who united the human tribes to found what would become the Empire of Man. He was later worshipped as a god by the people of the Empire of Man after his disappearance.
Born more than 2,500 years ago to the Unberogen tribe, Sigmar's arrival was foretold by the appearance of the Twin-Tailed Comet. Among the twelve savage tribes of Men that established the Empire, he alone possessed an unwavering determination to end the bloody tribal conflicts that had torn his people apart.
This was no small feat, as the Thuringians and Teutogens frequently raided the Unberogen's northern borders, while the Merogens threatened their southern territories. The Jutones and the Endals were locked in wars over land, and the Norsii preyed upon all other humans. Meanwhile, the Greenskins devastated Humanity from the east, and the Beastmen, deformed children of Chaos, constantly invaded from the forests.
Despite these challenges, Sigmar united the tribes of Men through his eloquent words and decisive actions, casting aside those who opposed him. Armed with his warhammer and fierce resolve, he expelled the enemies of Mankind from his homeland. Following the successful unification, he was crowned the first Emperor of Man by Ar-Ulric himself, having been a devoted follower of Ulric in his mortal life. Sigmar ruled over the Empire for fifty years, a golden era marked by justice, fairness, and prosperity.
Nevertheless, Sigmar faced and overcame numerous threats to the Empire's stability, including invasions from the Chaos-infused Norsii barbarians and the advance of the Lord of the Undead, the formidable Necromancer Nagash, whom he defeated in single combat at the gates of Reikdorf, his capital. In the final year of his reign, coinciding with the anniversary of his coronation by Ar-Ulric, Sigmar rose from his throne and departed the Empire, heading east toward the Worlds Edge Mountains. Accompanied by a great wolf on one side and a massive boar on the other, he bore an expression of grim determination. His true destination and purpose remained known only to him.
Regardless of the authenticity of these legends, one undeniable fact remained: the Father of the Empire was no longer present. Within a generation of his departure, the people rallied around a fervent Ulrican friar named Johann Helstrum. He claimed to have witnessed a vision of Ulric, the god of war, winter, and wolves, placing the divine crown of godhood upon Sigmar's head, elevating him to join the ranks of the deities of the Old World Pantheon. Thus, the Cult of Sigmar was born, with the Men of the Empire asserting that their greatest lord had not met his end in the east but had ascended to reign in the heavens. An ascended God-King, born of mortal origins yet destined to protect his people as long as his Empire endured.
