Lord Virgal Calistar
35
| Human
| Aurelia
| Enchanter
A student of the arts, he spent decades of his life locked inside, labouring over dusty old tomes, studying the ways of magic. Constantly tested. His skill, reputation and life planned out before his birth. The end results.
A renown enchanter extensively trained in heat and earth (specifically metal) manipulation.
He has an academic understanding of light and healing however is only able to produce the most basic of effects from these schools, but it is enough to imbue into his enchanting.
The only thing gained by his own interest was a rudimentary knowledge (although no power) of blood magic, which he picked up through research, old family books and association with a blood mage.
Short bio: For three generations the Calistar family fought to rebuild their former status and glory. This was done through cunning planing, shady deals, strict marriages, and a touch of foresight.
Virgal was a middle child of three brothers with destinies meticulously pre-crafted for them. They were an incomplete product of sacrifice and calculation, as such they were treated so. Mere pawns on a chessboard to serve the family.
Losing his mother, his father remarried and after his older brothers disappearance, coinciding with their new step siblings being born, the great plans for them slipped away. Where Virgal was once destined to be a sage, his path was altered to a more lowly smith.
He didn't care, he purse it to his full ability.
Years later after the emergence of the blightborn, he found his particular skills useful to the royalty. But to be the best, he had to offer what others couldn't, and to do that he needed to really understand this new blightborn enemy. More specifically, how to hurt them.
No book or learning could prepare him for the morally questionable trials he would endure, the horrors he would impart, the pain and torment, the injuries and deaths caused by his own hands, by his creations, even if only on the inhuman.
But his sacrifices paid off, and his work became sought after. Reputation and even fame followed.
During his elevated time serving in court he met Evelyn. Cousin to the prince. She made the world a brighter place. They courted and soon after married despite her bearing an illness that could not be cured.
The next months of his life took his research down another dark path, one with no boundaries as he sought for a way to save his wife. His resources and reach were now great and few hinderances could compete with his coin or desperation. He eventually recruited an unaware blood mage under the guise of apprentice, slowly moulding her into a tool for his own purposes.
They could not stop the decline of her body but they did manage to craft her a new one. That was the easy part. Moving her soul was the tricky part. Numerous blight born were sacrificed in vain and it wasn't until the apprentice was pushed too far and died did it actually work.
Although Evelyn's resurrection wasn't the end of it, just the beginning. Death had taken its toll on her mind and she had much to relearn along with her new body. Then there was the reintegration into high society. All this was cut short however with the coming of the endless night.
Eventually despite their best efforts they were forced to flee to a more welcoming place. Dawnhaven.
