In the mid-1980s, Citadel Miniatures held the license to produce figures based on fantasy author Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion series of novels. These figures were nominally produced for use with the STORMBRINGER! fantasy roleplaying game. When Citadel lost the Eternal Champion license, many of the Melnibonean figures were recycled into the Citadel High Elf range and some of the Pan Tangians briefly appeared as part of the Citadel Chaos line. A few of the Melnibonean Personalities figures were recycled into the Empire line.

These figures were nominally produced for use with the STORMBRINGER! fantasy roleplaying game. When Citadel lost the Eternal Champion license, many of the Melnibonean figures were recycled into the Citadel High Elf range and some of the Pan Tangians briefly appeared as part of the Citadel Chaos line. A few of the Melnibonean Personalities figures were recycled into the Empire line.

This figure has one of the longest and most complex distribution histories of any Citadel Miniature. It was released as part of the C01 Fighter line under the name "Weirdling Warrior Lord" (later re-named "Elric Sharp Sword") and also sold as part of the "Tragedy of McDeath" scenario pack under the name "Donaldbane", but it is demonstrably a representation of Elric of Melnibone.

This figure clearly says "Pan Tangian" on the slotta tab, but it was not apparently packaged or sold with the EC02 Pan Tangian range (it was briefly sold as part of Citadel's Chaos range). Presumably, this figure did not make it into the Pan Tangian range before Citadel lost the Eternal Champion license.
