ValWrath “Catalyst” Illari
Male Born: Unknown Age: unknown Alignment: L-E Titles: Catalyst of the red sands, Lord commander of ichor victorum. Known aliases: Valeen Trudo, Al’ex Andier, The grave digger.
From the time of conscious memory Val knew only a few things, pain and suffering. Days of constant test and trials. For what felt as if it were years or maybe days, silence. The test consisted of branding and bleeding. After the branding would be training, of both mind and body. Before the test it was sword and shield practices with his brother and sister, than the “test”, and after it was constant reading and studying of outside cultures and customs.
After extensive years of “training” and conditioning it was time for the final sealing ritual. Val was tied down in a pure white room, than the chanting began, as they chanted the tattoos formed from the brands and began the seal. Than it went wrong. As if the abyss itself opened up and thousands of hands began to pour out of the walls and drug Val into the ground itself. He had vanished.
After awaking Val found himself alone. Somewhere in the desert. Yet he was not truly alone, sitting there staring at him was a small red pseudodragon that eventually agreed to be called Percy. But though Val and Percy “argued” about Philosophy and where the hell they were.
Eventually Val came upon a “trade caravan” that was able to “assist” him. After making sure he wouldn't die the “traders” captured Val and put him with their “merchandise”. This was the moment Val realized that these traders were slave traders and their merchandise is well slaves. During the day it was beatings and pulling carts and at night he was forced to sleep in confined cages in chains listening to the sounds of the soldiers taking their pick of the female captives. After weeks of traveling, Val finally found himself at the slavers pit known only as the red sands. Once they arrived, the slaves were quickly put into their respective holding cells and branded with their number and sent them to be broke. the breakers name was Alabaster monturo younger brother to the slave master Tricentouous monturo the blood king. Now Alabaster “tiny” methods of torture were effective at breaking normal souls that had never experienced such pain but Val was numb to this pain and this made Alabaster furious. Although Val encounter extra fury, this got him noticed by the bloody kings wife, Malarosea the silent queen. Val was taken into the queen's personal collection of oddity and wonders. Beings and artifacts her husband had found while traveling the world looking for more merchandise. Along with Val there were a few other living beings in her collection, they were lillhiri illari her handmaiden, Lucius videll her bodyguard, maxis motherly one of her twin servants, his sister Wendy motherly her other handmaiden, and then Val her other bodyguard. Val and malarosea had a special relationship, when her husband was away Val was used to satisfy her” needs” and lillhiri hated him for it. They had constant arguments about how Val is going to get them all killed. She was right, like always. Maxis had gone to the bloody king and had revealed what had been going on behind his back. He did this because Val took his place in malaroseas heart and he wanted revenge. Although there was a flaw in his plan, as soon as he was done telling his report, he had his head removed. That's when it all began. The king began a culling of all of the slaves in his rage and went to deal with Val personally. In his rage the king killed his wife and Wendy the handmaiden before being taken down by Val. After the death of the king Val and the others killed every slaver in the camp except for one Alabaster the breaker who had disappeared in the madness. This is what earned Val the title of the catalyst of the red sands.
Once Val, lillhiri, Lucius, and a few survivors left the remains of the red sands they traveled doing whatever they could do to get by. While Lucius was training the others Val and lillhiri would argue over where to go and what jobs to take. This went on for a few weeks but slowly they started to get along. They even started taking jobs together. They took longer on their missions than normal but that did arouse any suspicion. than everything had changed Val, lillhiri, and Lucius had been requested to come to the estate of a wealthy family to deal with their personal problems and for their work they would be given an old broken keep at the far end of the family's property. The three accepted the job.
The job was simple, remove the opposing family from the “market place” but the family forgot to mention one little detail. The family was a mob family. Luckily there was only one target but that was the head of the organization. Although it was supposed to be a complicated mission and Lucius and Val were planning their entry, lillhiri had already snuck in and killed the leader and snuck back out. She still let the others ready their plan and get ready to act. Till the guards found the dead bodies. So the group fled but the job was done and so they got their new keep. Thus ichor Victorum was born.
The fall of ichor victorum came quickly and furiously. One night while the keep lay dormant and no one but the guards on the wall were awake. The war horns sounded early that morning and moments after the Trebuchets started to rain hell. Four hundred fighting men lost theirs lives not even counting the women and children. The battle raged on for three days before the invading party breached the inner courtyard but there was only 30 fighters remaining. They all fell quickly, first Lucius fell to five men after saving one of those who had been struck down. Next fell Val who had been in single combat with the leader of the invader, the man he had forgot about. Alabaster the breaker, now he's a paladin under a new name of Mathis the devout. not soon after lillhiri fell with five arrows to her back.
Val awoke surrounded by corpses. Mostly decayed or eaten by the sand. Val was alone, yet again he was not truly alone. The whispers began softly at first. Whispers that told secrets of old and new, than they got more violent. But all of the graves had been dig so Val began to move on. Before he left he was confronted by a group of people represented by a speaker, they had asked if he knew of anyone who lived in this place. Val had responded. Not anymore, and left.
Val wandered aimlessly through the desert simply listening to the whispers and learning their secrets until he became numb to the noise. This is when Val had come upon a merchant camp, they took him in and gave him food, afterwards they told him of a commune about three days north that could assist him if he needed anymore assistance during his travels. After being given the details Val found out that the commune was founded by the hero Mathis the devout. After learning this the whispers became screams and cries saying “use our power, use your power, take your revenge. Fulfill your contract in blood!”. Once again the tattoos began to glow and resinate and Val's eyes grew dark. With that he was off for his revenge.
Val arrived during the night. The church was holding its nightly sermon while those chosen to be demon hunters train. The voices continue calling “more than one will be needed, do what you must”. Thus Val walked into the church and killed every living soul but a few children who had hidden away in the chaos. After the room was silent Val move farther into the sanctum, killings everything in his path the entire time his tattoos aglow eyes dark and muttering some strange incantation. He could hear the commotion of the demon hunters behind him trying to figure out what had happened but it was too late. Val had found the chambers of the now know Mathis. He opened the door to Mathis facing away from him and Mathis simple said what is all that commotion out there? As Val replied none of your concern Alabaster. As Alabaster turned to face the voice he saw the one face from his past he never wanted to see. Val Wrath standing before him but there was something wrong he was almost fiendish in nature. But before Alabaster could even draw his sword to defend himself Val spoke, and with his words it felt as if the world shook and reality itself rippled and tore and all that was left was a withered corpse. By the time the demon hunters got to the chambers Val was gone. Off to wander the world.
