A man of multiple lives, Vulpesen lives within two worlds. A champion of the Vitae Court, Vulpesen's mortal life is intertwined completely with that of the fae world. A life of service to the brothers Vitae has its perks, but no small deal of responsibility. As their foremost agent abroad, it is Vulpesen who enacts their will on the world outside of his home of Veradune.


Appearance

Largely distinguished by his Zorren anatomy, Vulpesen's figure is slimmer than most humanoids of his weight, needing to rely far more on speed and cunning than brute strength. His clawed nails, bushy black tail, golden eyes, and pointed mobile ears are all hallmarks of his race. Hidden beneath his dark clothing, Vulpesen wears a tapestry of scars which trace along his body, a reminder of his life before and the trials he's faced to reach this point.

Generally sticking to dark colors, Vulpesen's cloak hides his multitude of daggers and his sword. Having started as a warlock to the lord of secrets, Varos, Vulpesen has retained many of his old habits, even if his position as the triumvir's champion allows him to act with far less secrecy than his previous assignments.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strengths:
Quick Thinker:
Vulpesen's wit was what originally drew the attention of his lord. Capable of thinking on his feet, more than a few of his plans have involved the phrase, "Then I'll wing it."
Triumvir Warlock: Contracted originally with the Vitae Lord of Secrets, Varos, Vulpesen has learned the art of magic and at one pint was a powerful shadowmancer. However, having taken the place of Triumvir champion, Vulpesen's powers were changed, now focusing on the natural world. Now, something of a fae powered druid, Vulpesen's skills allow him to control the elements and become one with nature.
Agile Fighter: More than being a quick thinker, Vulpesen while not intimidating in size, is certainly a handful on the field of battle, nimbly fucking and dodging around larger opponents
Zorren Anatomy: Like all Zorrens, Vulpesen is blessed with an above average sense of smell and hearing, as well as a set of claws to use in case his non-natural weapons find themselves out of reach.

Weaknesses:
Guardian to the end:
Vulpesen's pact is one of sacrifice for others. He feels the call to serve and will almost certainly leap to the defense of others, even if they are complete strangers. Furthermore, his instinct to protect as a Zorren can easily put him in dangerous situations for another's sake.
Fae promises: Vulpesen gained much power from his lord, but there was a price. The more fae magic he uses, the closer he is to them. As such, a promise can never be broken by him.
Strength: Yeah... he's got amazing cardio, but don't expect him to be swinging around a great club any time soon.
Smell and Sound: Above average senses can be used against him. Loud noises and strong smells, when unexpected, can lead to an unpleasant experience for Vulpesen

Personality

Gregarious and friendly, Vulpesen's original patron wouldn't be easily guessed as most would expect a quiet and reserved nature from someone in service to the shadows. Slow to anger, Vulpesen is largely forgiving and looks for the best in others. That being said, those who do earn his ire will find a clever trickster who never fails to run out of plots to ruin the lives of those he sees as deserving.

When alone, Vulpesen's gregarious attitude can find itself drowned in a bottle. Putting it simply, the man has a few issues to work with. Haunted by the death of his company in a former military life, Vulpesen often seeks solace in taverns and bars, his own personal temples.

Biography & Lore

Once the heir to house Torrevaso of the Fae made city of Veradune, Vulpesen set off to become a scout within the Armis Militia, the military branch of the alliance which led his homeland. Proving himself skilfull enough to be considered for a transfer to the illustrious Tenevi order. Before this promotion in status however, Vulpesen's unit was destroyed due to an act of treason at the battle of Almerand, a small city far from his native home. Alone and shattered, Vulpesen left his post and took to the world as a wanderer to find himself.

In these wanderings, Vulpesen would find his prayers for a purpose answered by one of the three gods of his people. Varos, lord of shadows and a leader of the fae courts had chosen Vulpesen as his warlock, a champion to further the ideals of the Vitae court. Such ideals were nearly identical to the Alliance that had been spawned from it. Vulpesen's only request in return for his service, he be given the power and opportunity to take his vengeance on the traitor that had led to the death of so many of his friends.

Acting as Varos' agent, Vulpesen soon made a name for himself among the various warlocks of the Vitae Court, and eventually earned the notice of Varos' brothers, Wulren and Rerreno. After an agreement was settled among the three, Vulpesen was raised to champion and given the domain of nature and all that it embodied. Now with powers on par with the fae themselves, Vulpesen is bound to exert the Triumvir's will, leaving the world of mortals further and further behind as he finds himself embroiled in the dangerous world of fae politics and war.
