Vhergruhl BlackHeart the Master of Weapons

---

Description

A disheveled creature stands before you, grime covering
most of its' body. It is hard to tell if this creature
is male or female, since it is most likely a dwarf.
Long curled and matted hair hangs from its face and
and falls from the all angles on its head, which is
also a bloody mess.

As you look closer, you notice a horrible smell of
of blood, leather and old body odor. You also notice
this creature seems to be grabbing some sort of bladed
knife of some sort, covered in blood. Peering
through the almost visible clouds of stink, you see
a large fleshy scar on the leftside of this creatures
neck. Peering even closer, you almost sense it was
once a brand of some sort, serpentine in a way, but
has been deliberately scarred over. Taking one final
glance, you notice that...

Chapter 1

Virus updated
Added Sat Oct 20 02:10:03 2007 at level 40:

For many years, Vhergruhl found his Virus in remission. Perhaps
it was the mages he slew, perhaps it was the constant state of
combat readiness he had to be in, perhaps it was just his body
healing from the affects of those spells many years ago. Whatever
it was, the 'Virus' is now back. And more annoying and troublesome
then ever. After dying rapidly to Llorenz during a battle for the
bloody head of a magician that the Village prizes so much, then
to a mighty orangutan/mage named Meldressen twice, Vhergruhl
has found he cannot talk.

In OOC terms, I am waiting to slay four or five mages before
I can talk again. I'm rather upset with the insane odds I've been
facing and have almost rage-deleted/slipped into OOC over anger.
I figure making it so I cannot talk makes me not blow up so much.

Chapter 2

Vhergruhl's limited travels (an update)
Added Sat Sep 22 03:46:20 2007 at level 10:

When Vhergruhl awoke from his madness, he was in some
sort of strange museum. A glowing figure greeted him
with some sort of gibberish, as Vhergruhl slowly took stock
of his wounds. Grave, but he would live.

As he tended to his wounds, Vhergruhl noticed an odd
sign near the middle of the room he was in. As he
struggled to decipher the odd writing upon the sign,
he moved carefully through the museum, learning
interesting facts about certain things ignorant to
the foul duergar. In one of those halls he saw a
tapestry of valiant warriors locked into a struggle
with a band of dark-cowled mages.

What did this mean?
Were these warriors friend, or foe to the duergar?
Would they think him infested?

All these thoughts rolling around in his addled head
made Vhergruhl tired. Steeling himself from further
symptoms of the virus (he was nearly beaten to
a bloody pulp by a strange Templar in the museum
and rested mere drops of blood from bleeding to
death in the basement to a pack of rabid beasts),
Vhergruhl trudged through, finding many pieces of
supple leather armor that seemed to bolster his spirits
and alleviate the pain in his legs. A sign from
the Gods, perhaps.

Eventually, he found his guild in the bustling
city of Galadon. It was there he met one of the
fabled warriors, a rocky gnome named Behrious.
Attempting to compose himself, Vhergruhl did
his best to impress the warrior, eventually letting
slip his malady. Gifted with a fabled Cloak of
Nightwing and a blackened ring, Vhergruhl set off
north of the city, to a place he could find some elves.
A place called "The Vale".

Role

Chapter 3

The "Virus" and his motivations
Added Mon Sep 17 05:38:52 2007 at level 1:

Vhergruhl believes that during the battle that destroyed the drow
house he was working for, he was infected with a magical virus
that will eventually kill him. He believes this because the last
thing he remembers was charging two dark-elven mages who were
whispering in some strange language, before the room around him
exploded into flame and his organs spasmed inside of his body.
Then the traumatic hallucinations he suffered when he
awoke/staggered to freedom only made him think it was the onset
of the virus (it was actually the bloodloss and injuries causing
those hallucinations). He now loathes mages and their ilk, and
despises most dark-elfs(except a warrior that will wield spears
and maces with equal grace, like the Weapon Master he once bled
for) in general. He also harbors hatred for many of his own
kind because of his own clans history. He, like all duergar,
hates dwarves yet secretly envies them. Vhergruhl is unlike most
duergar in that he finds himself inexplictly attracted to elf
males. Vhergruhl blames this as one of the foul curses his virus
has inflicted on him, but he's always been a little weird, so who
knows.

The symptoms of the "Virus" that afflicts Vhergruhl are actually
his own madness due to his horrific injuries and upbringing.
Sure, he exhibits the symptoms of modern Sciences Tourettes
Syndrome and autism, but he is sharp, crafty and very very
dangerous (I hope!!!!) when he has his wits about himself. The
long years of battle/torture have honed him to shrug off the
effects of many injuries that would normally cripple men, though
not due to any teachings, just due to his fierce spirit.

Vhergruhl does have a very high estimation of himself as a
warrior, Virus or no Virus, that is not always as high as his
ability.

The last thing to know about him is that he will be almost as
unpredictable as you can possibly be. There will always be new
'affects' of the "Virus" that will flesh themselves out as he
ages.

Chapter 4

Brief Backstory
Added Mon Sep 17 05:32:24 2007 at level 1:

Vhergruhl of the Black Heart came from some barbaric duergar clan
fleeing from the deep, dank areas of Yzekon. Somehow tainted by
their association with the Black Serpent, the clan found itself
outcasts amoung even their own kind. Vhergruhl was born then
orphaned in a short amount of time, and in his youth he was sold
to the Slavemasters of Teth Azleth. It was there he was
instilled with a martial outlook on life, as his duties as a slave
were as a toy of the House Weapon Master for drilling his sons.
Every day he would be bested in battle, his life's blood seaping
out in front of his eyes, only to be healed of his wounds the
next morning, in time for another demonstration. Never besting
the Weapon Master for he was able to only wield a small sharpened
bone of the femur of some lizard, but severly pressing him
sometimes with careful hit and run tactics. Through these long
years the duergar honed his skills, so much so that he eventually
was freed of his servitude. His time amoung the drow, as hateful
as he was towards them, suited him, and the House Weapon Master
saw that. They became great friends, Vhergruhl eventually
becoming a mercenary in the employ of the House (at sub-standard
wages, but Qaledus ain't around that much anymore), and proceded
to help the Weapon Master lead the House upward in the ladder of
drow society.

Eventually, the House was destroyed, and Vhergruhl one of the few
survivors. Gravely wounded in the battle, he escaped into the
Underdark alone. Fighting for his life, he crawled when his legs
failed him, and pulled himself hand over hand when his body was
too weak. He eventually made it to a strange, arctic environment,
the chilled winds keeping his wounds from atrophing more. It was
there he was found by a Priest of the Viper, who took pity on the
duergar. He lead him back to a cabin, where he watched over his
wounds and applied what little aid he could, for the Priest
sensed something. He would not ask his Lord to aid this foul
duergar creature he had found, for he was unlike any duergar the
priest had ever seen.

When Vhergruhl awoke, he was alone. Disorientated, he began to
walk north as he left the cabin, stumbling through the frigid
wastes, the mountain forests, the crossroads. He made his way to
Galadon, and in his madness (for you see, he was so wounded he
should have died and his brain was damaged) began looking for a
place where he could start anew, and find those that had done
this to him.
