It is believed that Voivod was once human and was raised to a demi-God status by Death in the First Battle. As to whether he was seduced by the evil forces or was imprisoned by Death is still a matter of debate. Certainly we know that Voivod was an awesome warrior and a leader of men before his defection to the side of Death and his minions.

He has managed to keep the hard steel armour from that time in which the man who he was is imprisoned and cannot escape.

Voivod was termed the Lord of the Shadow Warriors, who including himself numbered six in total. He was also referred to as the Warlord of the Apocalypse and ranked among the highest of Death’s servants. It is thought higher even than the Demon Princes.
