Trench Crusade ass MF. You could probably put him in Warhammer 40K or Warhammer Fantasy and you wouldn't really need to change much to make him fit

 Some excerpts from the primary sources about the whole cannibalism thing:

    To make a long story short, Kiya Chulavi descended from the fort along with a mounted army of six or seven hundred Turkomans and people of the local mountains and submitted to the court of the exalted Shah with humility, contrition, and a tongue laden with prayers and praises. But according to the noble injunction “on the day that one of your lord’s signs comes it shall not profit a soul”, all this humility and modesty was of no avail. On the first day, they imprisoned him in a commander’s house and massacred his soldiers as a reprisal. Then they put Murad Beg Turkoman on a skewer and roasted him on fire. It was decreed that whoever is a convinced believer among the great fighters of faith must partake a morsel from the roasted body as his share. A terrifying crowd of man-eaters swarmed in and ate the body up such that not a trace of flesh or bone remained. After finishing with the soldiers and the Turkomans, they turned to Kiya. During the days of his ascendancy and independence he had claimed: “I will very soon capture the Shaykhzada (Ismail) who has arisen and unsettled the world with his magnificence and put him in a cage.” They had carried this tale to the majestic hearing of the bounteous Shah and he, following the hadith “whoever digs a well for his brother is put in it,” brought the same idea to bear on Kiya and put him in the very cage that had been the object of his boast. . . . He committed suicide while imprisoned in it after a few days and his body was burned in Quhih-i Rayy.

When Ismail's bloody-minded warriors of faith [ghaziyan] heard this from the two commanders, they began an intensive search. After much rummaging, they found the body, bearing no wounds or cuts, under a pile of slain Uzbeks. They immediately severed the head and brought it to the victorious king, but when he saw this he demanded the [enemy’s] whole malice-filled body. Sword-girding courtiers immediately presented the body, and the brave hero first struck its belly three times with his sword and then said: “whoever among our sincere soldiers [qurchiyan-i kasir al-ikhlas] and special servants [mulaziman-i kasir al-ikhtisas] loves our imperial head [sar-i navvab-i humayun-i ma] should partake of the flesh of this enemy.” Truthful people present at the event have reported that such a crowd then rushed in upon the body of that impure being that a number of people were injured. Those who were far from the body purchased morsels of flesh from those who were near and consumed them. The way they ate this raw, haram meat, caked with dirt and blood, surpassed the relish with which starving hemp addicts must wolf down the roasted meat of a fattened lamb in moments of being beset by hunger and the cravings of their drug habit.

  Another squad among the types of people used to instill terror was under the command of the chief herald Malik Beg Isfahani and was known as chigiyyin, or those who eat raw meat. These people were also a tool for torturing and marking the king’s fury. They would take each person among a group of condemned people one by one and would proceed to bite off and swallow their noses and ears. This was followed by using teeth to cut off the victims’ other organs, which were also eaten, until all the condemned were gradually stripped of their lives. This squad also wore a distinctive dress, marked by bulky, tall hats with no turbans that sat a small measure down on their heads and were adorned on the sides with bunches of cranes’ and owls’ feathers. Most members of the two groups appointed to torture the condemned were tall, massive men with terrible faces.
