This is a character from my comic Thaumaturge. His people worship him as a god because he is their strongest warrior. They also believe that by drinking dead people's blood they gain their powers. Thus, when the Bahadur is killed, the killer will drink his blood and become the new Bahadur. If you're interested in my comic you can check it out at Comixology at the link below.
