==Chort==
'''Chort''' is a member of [[the Fallen]].

===Appearance===
As a member of [[the Fallen]], Chort wore a wolf pelt with goat horns over head and shoulders.<ref name="II15.z e2">“Come, look up at me,” she told Chevalier.  She put a hand at his chin, and Chort helped her, forcing Chevalier’s head up until it couldn’t move any further.  Chort wore a wolf pelt with goat horns over head and shoulders, and despite being only sixteen, was strong on a level that surpassed even heroes like Alexandria.  When he moved, he did so with care.  To him, Chevalier was like eggshell. - [[Interlude 15.z II]]‎</ref>

===Abilities and Powers===
Presumably a [[Brute]], his physical strength surpasses even [[Alexandria]]. Despite [[Chevalier]]'s [[Endbringer]]-derived armor,<ref name="II15.z e3">“You’re going to join me,” she told him.  “You’ll be by my side, wearing armor crafted from the flesh of the Endbringers you so stupidly challenged.” - [[Interlude 15.z II]]</ref> Chort carefully moved him around; he was like eggshell to Chort.<ref name="II15.z e2" />

Chort is not an immovable object as he can be pushed around by external forces. When a cape produced a circular pulse, he dug his fingers into the ground to hold his position. In comparison, [[Chevalier]] wore armor heavy enough to be unaffected.<ref name="II15.z e4">One of Chevalier’s capes, though handcuffed, used a power to produce a circular pulse around them, extending out a hundred feet.  Her Fallen were alternately pushed and pulled closer to the furrow, the hostages further away.  Chort caught Christine and Ala with one arm, his fingers digging into the ground.<br><br>Another pulse from the same cape.  It threw injured and hostages across the gap, Fallen into it, or onto the other side.  Only a few were secure enough or as heavy as Chevalier, and didn’t move as a consequence. - [[Interlude 15.z II]]‎</ref>

===History===
Chort was not originally part of [[the Fallen]] and had somehow been acquired by [[Mama Mathers]] at some point.<ref name="II15.z e1">She had been told of these things from a Ward named Sunflower, who had gone to meet a boy she had met online, and found that boy was named Elijah.  He had brought her to Christine, and Christine had thanked her by arranging her a husband.  A shame, that Sunflower had been stolen away by the heroes.<br><br>As of now, she had two with her who had been brought into the fold much as Sunflower should have been.  Ala and Chort. - [[Interlude 15.z II]]‎</ref> He is 16 years old in [[Ward]].<ref name="II15.z e2" />

He served as a bodyguard for [[Mama Mathers]] during the [[Attack on Teacher]] when she confronted [[Chevalier]]'s group.<ref name="II15.z e5">“It’s not real!” Chevalier bellowed, as the first few fell.  She filled his mouth with the taste of bile, and the feeling of a hand reaching up his throat to grab his tongue.  Still, he managed, eyes shut, his words somehow both a mumble and a shout.  “Don’t move!  Don’t move!  That’s an order!”<br><br>“Are you watching, Teacher?” she murmured.  “Send us more soldiers.  Ala, shoot them.  Chort, guard us.  Everyone else-!” - [[Interlude 15.z II]]‎</ref> [[Precipice]], [[Love Lost]], or [[Colt]] presumably defeated Chort when they confronted Mama Mathers' group.<ref name="II15.z">[[Interlude 15.z II]]‎</ref> Note that the [[Mall Cluster]] lacks [[All-or-Nothing]] powers.<ref name="II11.11 e1">A silver blade cut through the air.  Precipice’s answer to Love Lost’s scream.  It hit the chains that Hookline had made, but it drew no silver lines.<br><br>''They’re protected by Hookline’s power'', I thought. - [[Blinding 11.11]]</ref>
