From the elemental realm, Barathrum crosses into this world as an amalgamate of bestial forms, selected for the purpose of serving his hidden master. Gifted with unusual haste, the Spirit Breaker's strength increases with speed as he Bulldoze all in his path. Given sight of a distant foe, he Charges Through Darkness, rushing past high valleys and dense woods until he crashes headlong into battle, stunning and Knocking Back enemies with his lantern. Before foes can muster a response, the Spirit Breaker shifts into his native realm and distorts the fabric of Planar Space, before reappearing up close to deliver the Nether Strike that will seal their fates.

Bio

[edit]
I'm the beast of many parts; I part enemies from their lives.
▶️  Barathrum, the Spirit Breaker
Aliases:
Barathrum, SB
Barathrum the Spirit Breaker is a lordly and powerful being, a fierce and elemental intelligence which chose to plane-shift into the world of matter to take part in events with repercussions in the elemental realm that is his home. To that end, he assembled a form that would serve him well, both in our world and out of it. His physical form borrows from the strengths of this world, blending features both bovine and simian--horns, hooves and hands--as outward emblems of his inner qualities of strength, speed and cunning. He wears a ring in his nose, as a reminder that he serves a hidden master, and that this world in which he works is but a shadow of the real one.

Trivia

[edit]
  • A common name for Spirit Breaker within the community is Space-Cow.
    • This name originated from the Astral Trekker, a removed hero who used Spirit Breaker's model in DotA before he did.
    • His name was temporarily changed to Team Spirit Breaker in the October 30, 2023 Patch to commemorate Team Spirit's TI 2023 victory.
    • In DotA, Spirit Breaker's title is written as one word: Spiritbreaker.
  • "Barathrum" means "Underworld" in Latin.
  • His response ▶️ "Rampage" might be a reference to who used to be his equivalent in Heroes of Newerth (most of the HoN hero abilities have changed since the port)
  • Charge of Darkness' indicator is the astrological sign of Taurus, the Bull.
  • During early beta, Greater Bash did not use pseudo-random distribution (PRD) for its proc chance.
    • This, coupled with its 17% proc rate, commonly resulted in it perma-bashing an enemy, giving them no chance to retaliate.
    • The resulted in the 17% = literally always meme, which persisted even after Greater Bash was changed to use PRD.
    • The Bull's Hit facet references this with its name, as well as its proc chance bonus.
  • Warcraft 3 similarities:
