Legion Commander vs Underlord
Why Legion Commander hates Underlord
Stonehall got no warning. A rumble came from beneath the city walls, a rift tore open in the square, and out of the dark poured hordes of monsters wielding flame and sorcery, slaughtering people and carrying off mothers and sons. This was the Abyssal Horde from Aziyog, the obsidian city beneath dormant volcanoes. It is ruled by Vrogros, Lord of the Abyss, who had already conquered everything underground and now came for the world under the sun.
The Bronze Legion under Tresdin was the nearest to answer. She cut her way through burning markets to the rift itself and met the horde's champion in a duel, while around her the Legion died to the last. In the end Tresdin drove her blade into the beast's heart, the rift faded, and the invaders were put down. But there was little to celebrate: the city lay in ruins, and only a few survived. Tresdin unfurled her banners of war and swore brutal vengeance on the abyss, and later went down below the earth herself to hunt it.
Here is the most interesting part. The wiki says Vrogros led the Horde at Stonehall, yet Vrogros is alive. The first forces he sent through the rift were only scouting parties, thrown in to die and test the might of the nations above. So who fell to Tresdin's sword: the Lord himself, or one of his vanguard?
Each hero answers in their own way. Tresdin is sure she has won once already: "I've bested your kind before!", and any alliance with him, she says, "will be short". To Vrogros she is no victor but a commander without an army: "Where is this Legion you claim to command?" She is avenging Stonehall, while he, it seems, has not even started: "Tresdin, you know nothing of the horrors that I intend to bring!"
How Legion Commander feels about Underlord

The enemy of her whole life: Vrogros's Abyss destroyed Stonehall and wiped out the Bronze Legion, and Tresdin swore vengeance. "Abyssal filth!", "I wanted to hear you beg"; even an alliance with him is "temporary".

Hero biography
They came without warning. Within the city walls of Stonehall there came a rumble and a terrible sound, and from blackness unknown came a force of beasts numbering beyond count, wielding flame and foul sorcery, slaying and snatching mothers and sons to dark purpose. Of once-mighty Stonehall's military strength only the Bronze Legion, led by the indomitable Commander Tresdin, was near enough to answer the call of battle. They rode into their city, fighting through bloodstained alleyways and burning markets, cutting their way through the monstrous throng to the source of the sudden invasion: an ethereal rift within the city square, and at its precipice thundered their dreaded champion. Enwrapped in a corrosive shimmer, the leader of the abyssal horde swung its massive blade, cleaving a legionnaire in two as his flesh began to spoil. Tresdin lifted her blood-stained sword and settled her sights on the beast. It turned, smiling at her through a maze of teeth. Heedless of the battle raging around them, they charged one another. Deflecting blow after blow, the pair danced their deadly duel as the Bronze Legion met its end around them. Tresdin leapt forward as her foe swung its sword to meet her. The odds turned. The attack smashed into Tresdin suddenly, a brutal thrust from the side, but even as her balance slipped she rallied her strength for another stroke. Blade scraped on blade, beyond the hilt to the gnarled paw below, carving it in two in a fearsome spray of sparks and blood. The vile audience looked on in astonishment as she pressed the attack, driving her blade through her foe's flesh into the stampeding heart within. With a scream that split the clouds above, the beast erupted in a torrent of gore and anguish. The stygian portal wavered, the power sustaining the chasm beyond vanishing as suddenly as it had appeared. The remaining invaders fell quickly to Stonehall steel. Though victorious, the survivors saw little to celebrate: the city lay in ruins, and survivors were few. Fires continued to spread. Unfurling her banners of war, Tresdin gathered what allies she could. Her anger smoldered as she pledged brutal vengeance upon the forces of the abyss, and damned be any who would dare stand in her way.
