## History

### Early Life

Viktor Shagol VI was born on the 31st of the Third Block on 141BV, the third of six children born to Viktor Shagol II and Viktoria Onderson. His eldest brother, Viktor Shagol IV, and his uncle, Viktor Shagol III, were already deceased at the time of Shagol VI's birth, casualties from the Ghendor-Shagol War. His mother, Viktoria, succumbed to the Black Bend in 138BV, before Shagol VI had a chance to remember her face.

Shagol II, still reeling from the humiliating loss suffered at the hands of the Ghendor samurai during the war, devoted his life and all of his children's lives to strengthening the Shagol Academy and becoming better military tacticians and fighters. Shagol VI showed the most promise among his siblings even at a young age, defeating the academy's master stategist in Jonurian Chess at the age of 8 and publishing an academic paper about different strategies in the event of a siege at the age of 12. At the age of 13, Shagol VI attended the Shagol Military Academy, graduating with honors at the age of 16 in 125BV.

### Shagol Military Career

In 124BV, Shagol VI joined the Shagol Military as a general and instructor. He was known to be an especially strict and demanding instructor, and a brilliant and ruthless general. During his fifth year in the military, the bodies of five Shagol Academy students were recovered from the Krahtou Bay. Shagol VI claimed that the Ghendor samurai had murdered the students, and convinced the Jonurian Point council to declare war on Ghendor on the 5th of the Ninth Block in 124BV.

### Jonurian-Ghendor War

Shagol VI personally led the first strike against Ghendor, with war casters and gunslingers devastating the Silenttooth Port. The Ghendor council sent diplomats to Shagol VI to negotiate and make peace, but Shagol VI refused their offer and continued to attack Ghendor and the entire island. With no other options, the Ghendor samurai fought back against the Shagol military, but were no match for Shagol VI's strength and brilliant combat strategies. In 120BV, Pronus, leader of the Ghendor samurai surrendered to Shagol VI's army and relinquished control of the entire island to Jonurian Point. Shagol VI allowed the Ghendor samurai to continue ruling over the island and retain their way of life, provided that the samurai server under Jonurian Point when deemed necessary. The Treaty of Marcius, named after the Marcius Port in Jonurian Point in which it was signed, was imposed on the 1st of the First Block in 119BV.

The elder Shagol II, despite his dying wish to see his son defeat his sworn enemies, died before the signing of the treaty from an advanced lung disease in 121BV.

### The Six Pistol

Shagol VI was also an artificer in his spare time, researching different firearm development techniques, firearm and bullet materials, and developing experimental firearms of his own. In 122BV, the Shagol Military Academy adapted the Erdab-Six-Pistol, a quick-fire pistol Shagol VI developed in a joint project with the halfling weaponsmith Xira Erdab, as the standard pistol for all academy gunslingers.

Shagol VI did not use the Erdab-Six-Pistol himself, for he had manufactured a pistol custom made for his own comfort, which he nicknamed the Six Pistol. This pistol was said to be made out of solid Erdab steel, with custom configurations to ensure that the pistol will never jam or misfire. The Six Pistol became Shagol VI's signature weapon, and under no circumstances was anyone allowed to hold or try to replicate his pistol.

## Ascension

In 116BV, Shagol VI resigned from his position at the Shagol Academy after he accidentally killed an employee who was protesting in front of the academy for better pay. After vacating his office, Shagol VI disappeared from Jonurian Point, without informing anyone of his whereabouts. He reemerged in his godly status two months later, holding the decapitated head of the former lesser god of war, Preos Silenttooth. He told his former fellow generals that he traveled to the Rholds islands to challenge the god to a battle for the title of lesser god of war. Shagol VI then fell silent, letting his trophy speak for the rest, and ascended to the celestial planes as the new lesser god of war.
