Maescia’s Report on Vorigan
The Vampire known as Vorigan is believed to have been born from the body of the Vademorian Noble, Claude Von Reegan, after being sired by an unknown vampire.
Claude was born in the capital of Vademor, Kernindorf. He was the second son of Senator Reinyar Von Reegan and Aldona Von Reegan (nee Dereux).
With his elder brother, Abram, being tracked to follow their father’s footsteps as a senator to the king, Claude turned to the arcane, joining the College of Arcane and Mechanical Studies. He graduated within four years at the age of eighteen, enrolling as a state arcanist thereafter.
Claude spent the next 14 years as a state arcanist, providing research and advice to the senate, and serving two tours as a military attache in engagements against both raiding parties from the steppe and the Odagardian Army.
At 32, he resigned as a state arcanist and returned to his family home, where he continued to study the arcane. In this time, he published several papers on the relation between magic and creatures of the undead. Additionally, he became betrothed to Lady Genevra Heilstadt, daughter of a wealthy merchant.
Around the time of Von Reegan’s fortieth birthday, and string of brutal murders took place within the upper districts of Kernindorf, beginning with his own father, Reinyar. Investigations uncovered the murderer was a vampire, not long after revealing themselves to be called Vorigan. After this, Claude was known to have taken ill, and remained largely unseen long after the mourning period.
Attacks continued for a year, claiming the lives of a number of Vademorian officials and their staff. Von Reegan and his fiance, Genevra were presumed to be amongst the victims, although their bodies were never found.
Instances of Vorigan popped up around both Vademor and Odagard over the next fifty years. A number of individuals claimed to know the identity of the vampire, citing various names, but the relevant information came from a self-proclaimed vampire hunter, Jacken Bessi, who managed to track down and confront Vorigan. Though mortally wounded, Bessi insisted on his deathbed that Vorigan was in fact Von Reegan, having met the arcanist as a child.
This was the last known sighting of Vorigan, who disappeared from records some one hundred and fifty years ago.
Wow, you spent some time on developing that.
Are you sure you want us to take him out? 😉
He was relatively easy, I’ve had a lot of ideas circulating my mind since the campaign’s inception. It just takes time to codify and structure the thoughts into a coherent narrative. The issue will be not contradicting it all later when I work more on Vademor.
Of course, this was all taken from information the library possessed. Who said it was accurate? 😉
