## Biography

Vilius and his twin sister Velora were born in 1589 PS in Arcadia to a human-elf coupling. After their human peasant mother died, they were sent to live with their rich but distant father. When they were 15, the twins ran away toward Timberholme, where they spent some time. Vilius befriended Lorieth, the teenaged daughter of the leaders of Timberholme. After spending a year there, Vilius and Velora move on to make their names as mercenaries in Lycia.

After picking some regular mercenary work with older adventuring duo Scotch & Brandy, the twins and the duo are hired by nobleman Axel de Vita in 1607 to help him track down the woman who killed his family. After many months of dead ends, they discover that the killer is the Archmage Vivian Marquette.

Following the quest, Vilius picks up more mercenary work, more frequently on his own. While traveling though the guilds one day, he comes across a couple of Acid Snakes planning to kidnap his sister, who had since married Axel and made a name for herself as a noblewoman. Vilius intervenes in the deal and offers to work for the Acid Snakes to pay off the money they would have gotten for kidnapping Velora. The Acid Snakes are reluctant to take the deal at first, until an impromptu duel reveals Vilius's skill, including Vilius quickly executing a "rosching" technique he had first witnessed minutes prior.

In 1618, Vilius and a large chunk of Acid Snake forces are stolen and charmed by Dario Blackmore. Vilius in particular was favored by the vampires, as they fed on him rather frequently, and Grigori Igorovich seemed interested in turning Vilius.
