Luthor Harkon was a mad Vampire, and ruler of the Vampire Coast of Lustria.
Lutr of the tribe Harkoni, was born in ancient times and was turned into a vampire by Abhorash, champion of Lahmia in Nehekhara. While serving in Lahmia he was master of the habour guard and one of Abhorash's four primary assistants (along with his cousin Walak of the palace guard). After the fall of Lahmia he traveled with his Sire to Mourkain to serve under king Ushoran. It is unknown how he survived the fall of Mourkain and the Strygos empire.
Many years later he came to Lustria after the ship carrying his coffin was attacked and looted by Norse pirates. Sometime after their ship stranded on the Vampire coast, and the pirates had become Zombies bound into Harkon's service. Shortly after, he headed inland, finding a Lizardman temple. Exploring the temple he uncovered an sealed vault. He ordered his zombie minions to break it open, but each time they did, a set of glowing glyphs drained the magic reanimating them and destroying them. Enraged, he attacked the vault with dark magic, but the glyphs were designed to stop Chaos sorcerers more powerful than him, and retaliated: they attacked his mind, leaving him mentally unstable ever after.
Establishing himself as the Pirate King of the Vampire Coast Harkon gathered an army of zombies made of corpses of pirates and sailors from around the world which he reanimated, as well as commanding a huge navy made up of their ships. His flagship fielded one of the most powerful cannons ever created - the "Queen Bess", a former Imperial Hellhammer Cannon. He became feared across the oceans of the world.

Does the Vampire Coast get special pirate zombies?
It'd be funny if the mod team made it so every time you select his unit he just says "Argh!" and when he is ordered to attack someone he will say "I'll plunder ye booty me hardy!" That would be hilarious.
