Random Facts:

- Victor's name is very un-Roric because it's a one his father heard while traveling in another country. He also inherited his mother's last name instead of his father's since his father had none.

- Before settling down with his mother, his father traveled a lot. Victor inherited this wanderlust and spends a lot of his time moving from place to place.

- He also got his odd looks and scary teeth from his father. He just really takes after his dad, okay.

- He grew up in a pretty isolated spot in the middle of the desert. His mother tended a shrine to Cerrias near a spring and operated a wayhouse for travelers. The nearest real town was several hours walk away.

- His father disappeared while traveling when he was 12. His mother got sick and died when he was 18. With nothing to tie him down he left home and has been traveling ever since.

- Traveling so much and a love of reading are why he knows so many languages. Despite speaking as many as he does he’s still got a pretty strong northern Roric accent in whatever language he uses.

- He can, and sometimes does, spend long periods of time in the wilderness supporting himself and having no contact with other people.

- Due to hunting his whole life he's a pretty sneaky bastard.

- He can hear and see in the dark better than your average person. Also his sense of smell is basically on par with a dog's

- He can also make some sounds that should not be able to come out of a human mouth.

- He’s got some odd eating habits. Namely a large portion of his diet is raw meat. He still eats normal food but isn’t too fond of sweet things because they make him feel sick. He’ll eat things like fruit but anything that you’ve added sugar to is probably too much for him.

- Seeing as his mother was a priestess and his father was a hunter/ranger type, he's a pretty devout follower of Cerrias. He feels more in tune with nature than he does civilization. But less in a tree-hugging hippy type way and more in a I-am-basically-a-predatory-animal type way. Do not insult the wilderness god in front of him. He will eat you.

- No seriously, he's also kind of a cannibal.

- He can't really control the fact he wants to eat people. He doesn't even know where the desire came from. It started around the time puberty hit, growing from what seemed like a bit of curiosity over the taste to a full on craving. He put up with it for years before he finally gave in, only first eating human flesh after his mother died and he left home.

- No, he did not eat his mother's body. His first meal was a guy who tried to rob him.

- Now a days after much practice and building up self control he has a pretty good handle on his hunger. However if he goes too long without he can get pretty irritable and there have been a few messy incidents. Most of which he has later regretted.

- Despite pretty regularly eating human meat, Victor is actually a pretty nice dude. He decided from the start he would do his best not to hurt innocent people.

- He strongly believes in defending those who can’t defend themselves or helping others who need help.

- He mainly works as a bounty hunter or even a mercenary. Since he doesn't need money to survive he's free to reject jobs that he doesn't morally agree with. He also sometimes takes jobs as a caravan guard or courier since he already travels a lot.

- Being a bounty hunter also conveniently supplies him with food. As long as he doesn't have to bring the body back...

- He specializes in archery, basically hunting down his targets and shooting them before they know he's there.

- His two most prized possessions are his bow, made of black horn, which was given to him as a gift and a charm, blessed by and given to him by his mother.

- If things get down and dirty he can also fight at close range. He's strong and, more importantly, capable of shrugging off even pretty nasty wounds. He carries a knife for these types of situations of just straight up uses his teeth.

- He actually rather enjoys killing with his teeth, so he'll sneak up and pounce on you instead of shooting you if he thinks he can.

- But I swear, he really is a nice guy.

- He's got no skill in magical healing, but is very adept at more mundane means of fixing wounds. Having had to stitch himself up or set his own bones many of times has given him a lot of practice.

- Because he’s big, scary, and doesn’t talk a lot Victor usually comes off as intimidating or stand offish to people who meet him.

- He usually keeps part of his face covered with a cloth mask while in town so people don’t get freaked out by his teeth. He already gets enough stares as-is.

- Oh yeah, also he likes other men.

- He is completely enamored with his boyfriend, Claude. Though you wouldn't be able to tell looking at them. He never felt particularly tied to any place until he met Claude twelve years ago. Now he visits him in Vangoth pretty regularly, though he still wanders.

- The local bandits not a huge fan of him because bandit hunting is one of the main jobs he's given while in Vangoth and he’s in the county a lot more often now.

- He’s also friends with Trevor which nobody can seem to understand.

- Claude knows he's a cannibal, but he has told no one else. The only others aware of it are those he hunts, because who are they going to tell? And fear tactics go a long way from keeping the local bandits from doing anything in the first place.

- He hopes one day to be able to find where his father died, though he has little hope of actually succeeding.

Age: 35 Gender: Male Hair Color: Black Eye Color: Blue Height: I don’t know exactly, but pretty average Build: Not super muscly but pretty fit because, you know, army Family: Markus (older brother), Unnamed (father, mother, two nephews) Country of Origin: Vangoth Languages: Common, Vangothic, and a bit of Myric but only what's used in blessings and prayers and such (think like Latin now-a-days) Clothes: Usually a military-type uniform, though not armor since he's a healer/spellcaster and not a warrior. Other than that just things that are comfortable and practical.

Random Facts:

- He grew up in a really conservative family in Vangoth. He's the “bad kid” out of him and his brother. He never did anything particularly bad, he just wasn't quite as obedient or successful as his brother.

- He trained as a priest/healer. Eventually his parents urged him to go into the temple of Mia like his brother because it would be “good for him.” When he heard the army needed healers though he took it as a chance to escape to something more exciting.

- He smokes. It's a bad habit he picked up as a rebellious teenager. And yes, he's sees the irony, just shut up and give him a light.

- Spent most of his career stationed at an outpost near the border. It's mainly there to monitor traders passing into the country although they do see the occasional bit of excitement.

- Best bros with Titania Trevor, a merchant who passes through with her family from time to time. His other two closest friends are Sam McCarran and Rhys Travers, who are fellow soldiers.

- He's gay. It took a long time for him to come to terms with the fact and he spent a large portion of his teenage years trying to make himself be “normal.” He mostly keeps it a secret since he lives in Vangoth, though Trevor eventually got it out of him.

- His parents though? They will never know. At worst they would disown him, at best try to “fix” him. He and Trevor even went so far as to tell them they were engaged to get them off of Claude's back about finding a woman.

- His current (and only) boyfriend is Victor Mzali, who he met when he was 23. Victor wandered into the outpost looking for someone to heal an animal bite on his arm that had become infected (that person turned out to be Claude, obviously).

- Eventually he and Victor got found out by some of the other soldiers. His closest friends stuck with him but Claude still faces a lot of discrimination now.

- What do you expect? It's Vangoth.

- With the Heisk invasion the outpost he worked at was completely destroyed. He then started working in the medical tents in a refugee camp as the whole of Vangoth tried to cope with the carnage.

- The place he worked was nicknamed The Graveyard for the sheer number of deaths there. Vangoth just didn't have enough healers to save everyone. Needless to say, it was not a good time in his life.

- After things finally stabilized a bit and he was no longer immediately needed he converted from being a priest of Mia to being a priest of Ne'Aht.

- He has major PTSD from the events of that time. The symptoms mainly manifest in a fear of loud noises (some of the buildings at the outpost literally exploded), frequent nightmares, and panic if asked to heal an injury. He can still technically use healing magic, he's just as likely to have a panic attack as actually fix something if you ask him to though.

- Knows a bit of necromancy, but only enough to still be useful to the army so he can keep his job. He mostly just works as a flat out priest now. Currently they have him helping escort refugees over the mountains since he's now one of the less essential personnel.
