Vigor Rok-Oz-Mod was a former member of Twisted Fate and close personal friend to Amon Mordai and Bill High-Hill. After journeying with Twisted Fate across Veiltouria during The War of The Keys, Vigori was killed and resurrected as a Shade by Edward The Sixth. He then fell into service with the kenku Shanks.

## History

When Thorrik Vok-Kha-Zal of Kha-Li-Daz came to High-Hill to treat with King Bill, he brought with him an entourage of mighty warriors. Among them were a group of four Dwarven Shadow Brothers, assassins who forego the typical culture of their people. Casting aside concepts of honor and glory, Shadow Brothers do what must be done. As a result, they are outcast from Dwarven culture, forced to exist on the edges and be used as weapons.

These particular brothers were Vigori, Garr, Skamos and Mako. Trained from the time they could walk, they were quite often feared and looked down upon by their kin. Growing up on the fringe of society, the bond between them became inseparable.

When Mordai met with Thorrik, he formed a strong bond with these Shadow Brothers. He saw in them people similar to himself, people who understood isolation. After conversing with them, he offered them payment in exchange for their services. The Dwarves accepted, seeing in Mordai that same kinship. Much to the dwarves shock, Mordai's first job required the assassination of King Thorrik, so his son King Tyrak, could assume the throne. After heavy compensation, the dwarves accepted. Thorrik had never been kind to them, while Tyrak was renowned as a kind and caring leader. When morning came, the King was dead.

Following this, Vigori would journey with Twisted Fate, striking up profound and deep friendships with Amon Mordai and Bill High-Hill. Often Vigori would become the moral backbone of the group, and keep Mordai's rage in check. He was a valued asset in combat, and he and his siblings would often serve Mordai in a number of ways, both direct and subtle. Tragically, his brother Skamos was killed during an attempted rescue of Mordai in Staghelm. During this battle, Gesh Goldscale was also slain. Despite his grief, Vigori continued fighting on to honor his brother.

### Death

After an extended and dangerous adventure in Crows Nest, Twisted Fate returned to The Highlands only to be ambushed by Edward The Sixth and his forces. During this confrontation, Vigori and the wolf Finnigan were both killed, left behind by Octavius and Jaeger Flamefeather. Following their deaths, the bodies of the two slain Twisted Fate members were taken by Edward and returned to life as Shades.

Bitter and twisted, this new Vigori was a pallid reflection of his former self. Burning with a magically implanted hatred of Mordai, he was placed in charge of a team of warriors designed to break Twisted Fate:

* Akromos Mordai, deadly wizard, brother to Amon Mordai and slave to Edward The Eighth.
* Ambrosia Dashkovari, last of the noble Dashkovari women and a powerful sorcerer.
* Hok-Mog The Bloodspiller, one of The Seven Shards. Incredibly powerful and destructive, was bound to Akromos.
* Finnigan The Shadewolf, former companion to King Bill and now Vigori's ghostly steed.

With this group of warriors, Vigori ambushed Twisted Fate in the depths of The Horogai, the great dungeon of Devilsarm. After a protracted battle, Vigori was forced to flee defeated, taking Finnigan with him. Following this defeat, he hid in the wilderness, waiting out the remainder of the war, as well as surviving Edward's death.

He then journeyed to The Eldritch Citadel and pledged himself to Shanks.
