## Biography

### Background

Vrax was born in Tasros, Victoire to an elven mother. His mother worked as an opera singer and performed at many local theatres. She would occassionally travel for work, and Vrax would get to tag along and explore the cities. Vrax continues to have a good relationship with his mother to this day.

When Vrax reached adulthood, he attended Bellerus university, earning a major in history and a minor in common. Upon graduation, he opened a tourism and information booth in Peitho, the central sector of Victoire. The booth recieves some funding from the Victoire Council, allowing Vrax to distribute maps free-of-charge and give directions and information to travelers. To keep himself busy and earn a bit of extra money, Vrax often takes job requests from the bulletin. This is something he began doing in university, and he has ended up in some strange situations over the years.

Vrax is currently working on writing a Gaean travel guidebook.

### Victoire Arc

Vrax was first introduced in a oneshot featuring Vivienne Mirai and Filomena Alderlight as the owner of Victoire Info, a tourism booth in the Peitho sector of the city. Vivienne and Vrax had an unpleasant interaction, and parted ways shortly afterwards.

Vrax next appeared on the day of the Starlit Ball, participating in the city festival by selling novelty star wands as souvenirs. Vivienne ended up stopping at the booth, purchasing two of the star wands and giving one to him while keeping the other for herself. Later that same day, Vivienne found Vrax in the stargazing room at the Starlit Ball, and the two looked for constellations together, and eventually danced a bit at Vivienne's urging.

Filomena also attempted to set up the two of them, embarrassing Vivienne and confusing Vrax in the process.

Later on, two days before the Wayfarers left for Trax, Vivienne passed by Victoire Info with a deep gash in her shoulder from a recent battle. She began to flirt with Vrax, and when he commented on her shoulder, she took a swig from her Chalice of Life and Death. Vivienne then promptly passed out, forcing Vrax to carry her limp form over to Mystic Medical for treatment.

That night, Vrax left a note addressed to Vivienne on the keep door, inviting her out for dinner the next day. This note was subsequently read by every other member of the party before Vivienne finally became aware of it.

The night before leaving Trax, Vrax met Vivienne at the Five Leaf Clover, and it was confirmed he thought of the invitation as a date. The date was going well up until Vivienne dared Vrax to drink from her Chalice, causing his instant death.

While Vrax was deceased for the events that followed, he was shrunken and carried through the Victoire waterways by Vivienne, who begged her necromancy professor to bring him back, and crashed Filomena's date with Taegan, getting Filomena to show her her chest in exchange for a valuable diamond required for the spell.

The following afternoon, Vrax awoke with a splitting headache and a goodbye note from Vivienne, who had left for Trax early that morning.
