## Abilities

### Magic

## Backstory

Virion was born in a brothel, raised by the sex workers there. At some point, he was recruited and made into a Warlock by Calywen, King of Aldwen, and the two of them became lovers.

## Relationships

### Love Interests

#### Calywen

Virion and Calywen have been lovers for a long time, but Calywen became more distant and started giving Virion orders he wasn't comfortable with. Virion became concerned when he realized Calywen was being seduced by Thar'akith and trying to free him, and made the decision to betray Calywen despite loving him.

#### Main Character

Virion is a frenemy of the MC.

When the MC was a mercenary, she would sometimes receive quests
to escort/protect some nobles during their travels and Virion would
occasionally be tasked to kill them. They first met each other during
one of this cases.

Virion had been ordered by Calywen to kill a noble traitor to
Aldwen, Lord Vincent Morthil. He had been told that the lord had
contracted a human sword, a "simple brute". However, upon reaching him,
Virion found the MC, a very powerful raging Warlock. Virion defined her
as "beautiful", comparing her with the Divines and especially Xiris
herself, due to her way of fighting. The MC won that first encounter.

They then started encountering each other more times during the
years, always at opposite sides, and at some point started looking
forward to it. Virion eventually developed feelings for the MC.

They encountered yet again in Westerford's battle, this time in the same side.

After the end of Westerford, with the MC starting to live at the
Magistracy, they didn't see each other for three years, only encountering
again when Virion convinces Calywen to set up the MC as Raelan's Court
Mage, visiting her in secret and telling her about Calywen's plans to
bring back Thar'akith.

He's very flirty with her and their talks are usually filled with humorous death threats and sassy responses.

He has the habit of playfully calling her "General" as, in his own words, "In Aldwen, once a General, always a General".

Despite being enemies they understand each other deeply and
respect the other's abilities, acknowledging how cunning and strong they
 are, as seen when the MC states that he's a terrifying opponent when
Virion claims to be a good ally, or at Hulstead, if the ruthless option
is chosen, where the MC comments that she could think many things of
Virion, but "idiot" wasn't one of them.

Also, deep down, they care about each other.

* When hearing the MC talk about how she's nothing without her Surge and that she's terrified, Virion offers to teach her an Aldwen's

ability to borrow the Surge of other people, so that she can use her
magic without using her life-source.

* When the MC comes up with the plan that would require him to hurt her badly instead of scaring the merchants that are needed for the alliance between the Peshka and

her country, Virion tries to change her mind many times. When he sees
that she isn't going to quit, he refuses to hurt her, preferring to face
 Calywen's punishment.

* After being whipped by Calywen, Virion summons Riz, and the first person the little imp searches for is the MC, calling her "Warlock

 friend" and asking her to help Virion. Despite not being told anything
by either the imp or Virion, she quickly catches on the problem.
Regardless of her initial mean teasing to get Virion to open up and
admit that he needs help, she quickly does her best to make a good salve
 to heal his wounds.
The MC always thought that Virion wasn't into humans, despite knowing that he didn't have a gender preference, until Virion assured her
that he was "into all kinds of humans" when she brought it up.

It is stated many times by different characters that there seems
to be something going on between the two of them, either by the way they
 seem close or by the way Virion looks at the MC. Calywen has stated
that the MC had "enchanted" Virion.

***Route***

On his route, Virion has told the MC that he first noticed his
feelings for her on Angrave Mountain. According to him, she changed her
hair and he noticed. Then he says that he noticed her eyes, her lips and
 her hips. When asked when she realized she had feelings for him, she
just answered "Good question.".

The MC has told Virion about a time when she met an Aldwen elf
bard in a tavern in Arlenas, before Westerford. According to her, she
spent the night with him due to his resemblance to Virion, since she
thought that the latter wouldn't be with her because of Calywen. With
this it can be said that in his route the MC already had feelings for
him for a long time.

#### Argandea

If neither Virion or Argandea are romanced in Season 1, Virion makes comments about fancying Argandea, and even asks MC's advice on approaching him during their dance at the banquet.

### Family

#### Riz

Riz is an imp summon first introduced in Chapter 3 of the first season of Oathbreaker.

In terms of appearance, Riz is a golden eyeball with red, leathery eyelids, wings, and small horns. MC described it as a "disgusting messenger pigeon made of carcass," to which Virion rebutted that Riz was beautiful.

Virion had then described Riz as a "new summon" and a "work-in-progress," with implications of it being imperfect in terms of serving the purpose he had initially intended in creating the summon. Riz was shown to at first have been somewhat independent from Virion, able to make its own decisions and pass out its own judgement, such as when it personally and spontaneously, without having recieved instruction from Virion, gone in search of the main character whom it believed would have the ability to assist Virion. From what is demonstrated, Riz, being a minor imp, carries out fairly minor tasks, such as scouting areas, delivering messages or maintaining communication when people in a position in which they are physically incapable of doing so, or watching over another.

It is established that in spite of Riz being a summon, they have a mutual care for each other, displaying genuine concern and attachment. Riz demonstrates motherly tendencies, which Virion calls out and halfheartedly complains about.

Riz responds immediately to Virion's calls.

Riz speaks in the tongue seen spoken by demons like Thar'akith in the game -- that being backwards -- in broken sentences and phrases.

#### Unnamed Mother

Virion is suggested to have had a very close, loving relationship with his mother, who worked at a brothel.

Having been told his father was an Aldwen lord, Virion observed and taught himself to imitate the speech and mannerisms of high-borns to make his mother laugh.

#### Unnamed Father

His father is an unnamed Aldwen lord, with whom Virion presumably was not familiar with or had never met, considering the fact that he is never mentioned. He was likely never a present figure within his son's life, and would be unwilling to acknowledge his existence given the circumstances surrounding his conception and the status of both him and his mother.

### Enemies

#### Calywen

Calywen was Virion's first love, later turned enemy.

It was Virion who first disclosed details of Thara'kith, the first battle of Westerford, and Thyia, "The General," to Calywen.

Details of their past relationship don't receive much explicit attention in-game, but it is implicitly, and using out-of-game sources, known to have been once very genuine and loving, only to later devolve into an unhealthy cycle of manipulation (mental+physical) and attachment. The pressure of their circumstances and positions, especially the moment Calywen usurped the throne from his cousin, and following this point in time, inevitably wore them both down. Though Calywen retained more control over their relationship throughout, he too was indicated to have been holding on to their bond to the degree of experiencing hurt to some extent at Virion's betrayal, while Virion held on blindly as Calywen gradually became abusive, as per many examples of toxic relationships. In terms of their initial stages, mutual love did exist between them, albeit under context of a large, eternal social gap. Calywen, at first, never made outright statements suggesting he was "better" than Virion, but occasional remarks, inside jokes, and events such as noble gatherings made Virion very aware of his "place." Virion was his lover, but never truly considered as a partner, him being "too far below his league." As such, Calywen would not have shared his life and ambitions with Virion, regardless of how hard Virion tried to educate himself in Aldwen high society standards. Calywen always had a lack of respect for Virion, which turned into resentment and anger during difficult times.

Earlier on, because their birthdays were close seeing as Calywen's was also in March, Virion and Calywen would celebrate together, sharing a single cake.

Calywen's parents had never expressed any approval of Virion or their relationship, his mother offering the warning that he should never mingle with those of the lower class. "That it would be the end of [him]." However, Virion was endorsed by Calywen's parents in his joining the Aldwen Warlock Military, otherwise he would not have been able to partake given his background.

Calywen stopped loving Virion long before Virion began developing feelings for Thyia throughout the course of their encounters.

## Trivia

* Prior to having joined Aldwen's Warlock Military, Virion was unimpressive physically, described to have been "skinny and wimpy."
* Due to his being endorsed by Calywen's parents, Virion was bullied by other cadets throughout his training years in the Warlock Military.
* He loves kids, having spent lots of time with warlock cadets back in Aldwen.
* He absolutely adores theater, greatly respecting actors and performers and often crying during plays.
* He tends to notice and becomes fond of odd features of/things about people, with heterochromia, uneven eyebrows, birth marks, and strange toes all being genuine examples.
* He has an undeniable sweet tooth.
* Virion is pansexual.
