(Spoiler) Eikor's Past

After graduating from one of the hub's most prestigious universities, Eikor Von Alaric returned to Kynegrove to teach the residents all that he had learned. During his time teaching at the Kynegrovian university, Eikor met a young aspiring professor named Clara Lodrianna. Clara was a common born cleric from a rural part of the island. Eikor had been pampered most his life given that others had always treated him well due to his noble birth, but Clara was one of the few women his life that would tell him how it is and would call him out for his mistakes. Eikor has taken aback for a while by the way she had treated him but he grew to fall deeply in love with Clara. Clara likewise would also fall deeply for Eikor after Eikor showed her a warm side of himself that he rarely openly showed to others. Eikor was always a kind man but rather reserved and introverted. Around Clara however, he was an entirely different person. He was charming, funny, and compassionate. Clara and Eikor would have their first child together, Eliza Von Alaric. When Eikor became a father, his life completely changed for the better. The way he was around his wife Clara became a fundemental part of who he was and he would always treat people this way no matter who he was talking to. Eikor had been given a pitch perfect life. A royal family that funded his every desire, a wife that loved him and a daughter that gave him a purpose.

When his daughter got a bit older, he would regularly take her on adventures and would give her many gifts including a doll and a pet raven. Eikor rembered his time in the hub and wanted to go back to give her an artifact that he knew she would appreciate. Eikor left to travel to the hub for a brief amount of time to obtain this and would quickly make his way back to his home in Kynegrove. Unfortunately, during his time in the hub he had been sent word that his mother and father both passed away peacefully in their sleep.

When Eikor came back, he entered his house and called for his wife and daughter and got no response. Eikor explored his house in search of them until he came upon the master bedroom where him and his wife slept peacefully so many nights. Eikor found both of them dead. Both of them brutally maimed and violated before they were killed. Upon seeing this, Eikor's heart sank into his chest and he collapsed on the floor. His entire life's purpose had been undone and the two people he most loved in this world were gone. Eikor was in complete shock of he had witnessed for days, and Eikor struggled to understand what had happened. Eikor would try many times to kill himself. He hung himself by a noose but the noose broke. Eikor attempted to jump off a bridge but miraculously survived when he hit the water. Eikor tried to slit his wrists open and let himself bleed to death but when he had awoke, his wounds had been gone. Finding that all of his suicide attempts were in vain, Eikor decided to take to alcohol and drugs to surpress his pain and slowly kill himself this way. When Eikor was at his absolute lowest, sobbing in a street alley high on all kinds of drugs and drunk on all kinds of alcohol, it was then he revealed himself to him. Niccola Vadris appeared out of the corner of Eikor's tear filled eyes, and crouched down to meet him on his level. Niccola said to Eikor "I know what happened to your family. I can offer you a chance to bring them back" he said. Eikor did not care who he was or what his intentions were, hearing those words were enough to make him subservient to Niccola.

Niccola revealed to Eikor that he was a true second generation vampire and that he knew the whereabouts of the first generation vampire's sarcophagus. As it turns out, the first generation vampire happened to be a distant relative of Eikor. There is a rule about Generational vampirism. If you are bitten by a first generation vampire you will always turn into a second generation vampire UNLESS you share some of their blood already in which case, you will become a first generation vampire.

Niccola also revealed his true intentions and his reasoning for what he did almost a half millennia ago. Niccola was never slain that day, but he fooled the world into believing that he was dead. He intentionally had created weak vampires and made himself and others seem like a joke so that none of them would expect what would come next. Niccola was obsessed with creating the perfect vampire, one that would surpass his own abilities and weaknesses. When Niccola finally found the sarcophagus of the first generation vampire and a distant relative, Niccola concocted a scheme that would turn Eikor into the ultimate Vampire Lord.

Eikor was skeptical of Niccola's story until Niccola had showed him a vision of what happened. The vision that Eikor saw was of King Argis I bursting into their homes with a small private militia to back to them up and to make sure no one would escape. Eikor watched as Argis violated and murdered his family. Eikor was still skeptical of what he had seen at this point, believing this to be a false vision however, Eikor in that moment put the pieces together with the help of Niccola's influence. There was a nasty rumor going around that Argis II was the bastard child of Argis and his daughter Renera. No one had believed it but when Eikor had seen the vision of what happened and knowing the rumors about Argis's sexual tendencies, he put two and two together.

To say Eikor was enraged was an understatement. He hated everything. His family had sacraficed so much for this man. And for what? For him to turn around to betray him and his family like this. Eikor loathed Argis but he hated the population more for allowing this to happen. No one said it but everyone knew what Argis had been doing to his daughter and no one said anything. Eikor had secretly been starting to develop his own doubts about the monarchy but because of his love and respect for his parents, a lot of those feelings had been sequestered.

When Eikor finally found his ancestor in the sarcophagus. His vampiric ancestor had long since been dead, but their blood still seeped through their veins and Eikor turned himself to turn into a vampire lord by drinking his ancestors blood. Just as Niccola theorized, Eikor turned into a first generation vampire lord. Niccola promised Eikor that if he helped him enslave humanity, he would find a way to bring his wife and child back.

With a new found drive, Eikor came back to the university to keep up apperances so that no one would suspect his plans. Eikor moved out of his old house and into his family's castle where he and Niccola would conspire together. Eikor would eventually meet a student at the university named DeMarco Belpaese who had a shared interest in loathing humanity and the monarchy. DeMarco had also lost something important to him and was displaced by the monarchy as well. Eikor and DeMarco quickly took a liking to each other and it didn't take long for them to both start having an affair with one another. They both filled a void that was in each others hearts. This love was not pure, however it was enough for both of them to be satisfied.

Eikor would eventually tell his story to DeMarco and would eventually make DeMarco into a fully fledged vampire. Eikor and Niccola conspired once more to destabilize the nation. Niccola told Eikor that if he assassinate King Argis, the house of cards would fall and there would be chaos. That is when the vampires can rise. At this time, Eikor started to finally question Niccola's intent. Eikor was more than happy to kill Argis, but he wasn't exactly sure how any of this would bring his family back. Eikor made an attempt to kill Argis I in his quarters. Eikor was able to get in quite easily due to his royal heritage and loyalty to the crown. However when Eikor was holding a knife beneath Argis's sleeping body, he suddenly woke up and demanded to know what he was doing. Eikor told him that he knew everything and what he did to his family. Argis seemed geniuenly shocked about what he had told him. He knew nothing about what happened. Eikor was in denial about this and demanded that Argis tell the truth. At this point, Eikor had naturally mastered reading peoples intentions due to his immense vampiric abilities however Eikor was extremely concerned about the fact that Argis was seemingly telling the truth. Eikor forced him to confess what he did to his daughter and he did, but Argis would not confess to what he did to his. It hit Eikor suddenly what had happened. The vision had been false all along. Niccola did this to his family. Eikor was in such a deep state of rage that he just up and left Argis's room. Eikor came back to his estate and found Niccola there asking if he had completed the deed. Without a word, Eikor easily brutalized Niccola. Niccola's final words to Eikor were "Ah, there you are... The True Vampire Lord... Nothing is holding you back now." Eikor ripped his head off, disembowled him and bit out his cold dead heart.

The madness of his circumstances started to seep in. All of this time spent training to be a vampire lord was one whole manipulative maneuver by a crazy vampire. His family were just a pawn in his game and he fell for it. Not only that but he had heard first hand from Argis about how he molested and abused his daughter. Many people were aware of this but chose to do nothing. Eikor was filled with deep hatred for everyone and everything. He decided that the only way to achieve peace in this world and to see true retribution and change was for everyone to die. Eikor had also learned at this time about the rumor's of Kyrne's heart. Man kind had been searching for Kyrne for ages and Eikor rationalized that he would have a much better chance at finding Kyrne if the search for Kyrne was halted. The only way to do this would be to kill everyone.

Eikor created the great gargoyle lords, which would go onto serve his will. DeMarco Belpaese would also unwillingly lend his support.
