R.I.P HORDAK

Alan 'Hordak' Robinson, age unknown, was found dead in his fortress in the early hours of yesterday morning. The He-Man and She-Ra botherer was once a prominant and dominant figure on Eternia but, after his reign of terror was brought to an end by The Masters Of The Universe, he sought gainful employment in marketing for an up-and-coming fortress company, E-Fortress.com. He was both respected and admired by his co-workers, who said that his hard work and drive made the company blossom and grow. He also began to improve peoples lives, a reversal of his recent job of destroying and crushing all and sundry.
Hordak suffered a near-fatal accident five years ago when his Mantisaur collided with a large rock. It is said that he wasn't concentrating on the road and seemed to be drunk and cackling menacingly. Authorities charged him with 'Driving a steed whilst under the influence of evil schemes'. He managed to convince the judge that he was "merely laughing at a joke someone told him in the work's cafeteria". He promised that he wasn't planning on returning to his old, evil ways and was looking forward to taking E-Fortress to the "next level".
It was rumoured that this 'next level' involved the construction of "some kind of big hammer" to crush his old foes, He-Man and She-Ra. The case against him was reinforced when his co-workers found thousands of google searches, venomous blog posts (under the alias of Megatron) threatening letters and blue-prints marked 'Revenge against He and She/Project BWAHAHAHA!'. Hordak stepped down from his job and retired to his castle where his downward spiral into depression began.
Hordak was found by an old henchman, a sort of man/bee hybrid. Hordak had hung himself with his own cloak, leaving behind a note that simply said: 'Bastards'

He-Man and She-Ra were contacted but only He-Man responded:

"I've know Alan for a number of years, battling him and fending him off only to let him go when he pleaded for mercy. He always had a way of speaking to my softer side and I was glad when he moved on and found a new vocation. I was shocked to hear that he was planning another evil scheme as I thought he was above all that. He sent me a Christmas card last year so I thought the proverbial hatchet had been buried. I hope he finds the peace that evaded him in life"

In the same month that took Syril Sneer off of The Racoons, Mrs Goggins and, if the rumors are true, 2 of the Flumps childrens tv will never be the same. Sniff.
