Not many people know the history of The Captain besides that he was the designated leader of the team by the head Coach. A mysterious and quiet individual, one wonders how a Captain can lead without speaking a single word. The remainder of the team realized that, in this case, actions speak louder than words. A ferocious combatant, the Captain showed his potential by darting through the opposing players and cracking numerous bones and limbs along the way. After a number of these examples, the Captain is indeed considered the leader. Fortunately to compensate for his refusal to communicate with anyone, there has also been a new position of team co-ordinator.

Griswell was in charge of his own bar in a small rugged town in the backwaters of the Empire. After getting tired of being both a bartender and brawler, Griswell felt that he had higher aspirations to aim for. After a particularly daring night on the binge, Griswell entered himself into a Blood Bowl team, the Middenheim Mammoths. While surprised to hear what he had done once he had become sober, he gladly embraced his new career and thanks to his burly build, made a perfect blitzer for the team. In spite of his original intentions to open a candy store, he felt Blood Bowl would be a more than acceptable alternative.

Ogden came from the more familiar background of many Blood Bowl players. A street brawler and a vicious background, Odgen found himself on the Mammoths after a quick training session resulted in a quarter of the original team in the infirmary. The Head Coach immediately appointed him as Blitzer and although Ogden loves nothing more than splitting skulls and breaking bones, he also spends much of his spare time reading up on poetry in the great Altdorf library, now that Blood Bowl has satiated much of his fighting lust.

Cain the Champion took his name from the OWF (Orc Wrestling Federation) where, despite the name, any member of any race may enter. Cain was one of the very few humans to make it passed the initial recruitment stage and has amongst the most pronounced builds among the four blitzers. Both fast and strong, Cain lives up to his name with a ferocious and surprisingly effective combat style.

After joining the Mammoths, he has shown to be not only an effective fighter but also a surprisingly good boost for team morale. After all, nothing is more inspiring than watching your teams' blitzer break the jaw of an enemy blocker.

Yarg Spine Rippa was conveniently recruited after getting lost on his way to a match with the rest of his fellow Ogres. Adding much needed muscle to the team, Yarg has proven to be an awesome blocker and although far from the brightest member on the team (Which is saying something), his strength remains unparalleled.

He has also managed to live up to his name during one of the earlier matches of the Mammoths. Yarg managed to tear his way through an opposing Chaos team, their immense armour no match for the Ogres violent onslought and brutal assaults. However, like many other Ogres, he shows a surprising level of loyalty and has grown quite attached to team thrower, Sebastian Vauban. Both can be regularly seen together hanging out at the pit fights or OWF cheering maniacally at the violent spectacle.

Arguably the most normal member of the team, Sebastian Vauban entered the Mammoths out of genuine enthusiasm for sport. While he is far less inclined to get stuck in, Sebastian has shown a great talent in throwing and is also a rather friendly individual, particularly when compared to the more homocidal members of the team.

Sebastian has a lot to compete with however, while his skill at throwing is certainly adequate, it pales in comparison to the natural athletic style of the Elven races. Regardless, he is happy with his role in the team and has become very good friends with the teams Big Guy, Yarg Spine Rippa, both regularly attending wrestling matches or pit fights.

The Drunk joined the Mammoths after stumbling into a drunken stupor during a training match. As by his name, it seems that The Drunk remains in a perpetual state of drunkness and has never been seen sober by any member of the team. In spite of this handicap, this has actually proven useful for him on the field, his random movements proving difficult to predict and he has even managed to cause some damage by accidentally stumbling on top of a downed enemy. Reportedly, his actual name is Arthur.
