    • The House of Trayus
Hailing from Hydlaa, the Captial City of the Dome level of Yliakum, Vilthis led a relatively sheltered life in through his infancy, often curious and inquisitive of the environment that surrounds him akin to any other children. However, a small scar on his chest distinguished him from other unblemished children. The nature of this scar was from a precarious incident when newborn Vilthis was saved by a shield spell casted by his uncle, the late Lord Ignious Trayus that partially intercepted a hostile incarnation casted by an assassin whom soon fled upon the deed.

Vilthis enjoyed an intellectually fulfilling childhood, for his father was an archivist of the Hydlaa Archives whom often brought home various tomes of diverse subjects and his mother a practicing alchemist of some renown educated him in alchemical fundamentals. Vilthis was also known to have conceived several mathematical puzzles in this period, inspired by several puzzle contraptions given to him to him by his uncle, Ignious Trayus.

Advancing into his late teens, Vilthis enrolled into the Xacha College located at the Stronghold, the fourth level of Yliakum where he was schooled in Alchemy and Jurisprudence. Though he excelled in the academy through his scientific excellence, Vilthis often clashed intensely with the Law professors of the college whom philosophies of the rule of law was contrary to his, particularly their support of the Octarchy. Vilthis held a vehement disapproval to  the Octarchal Decree of 425 AY whom he viewed as despotic instrument of a autocratic government, lacking any provisions to safeguard concepts of property rights and accessibility to justice.

Subequent to his graduation, Vilthis worked briefly in publishing with the Hydlaa city press before encountering Giroum Duphra, a wizened Priest of Laanx whom took Vilthis upon him as an apprentice and trained him in the arcane arts. Vilthis had prior to his apprenticeship intuitively mastered the 6 core spells of elementary magic - disturbingly not through arcane mediums but through sheer power of will. The old priest was however pleased to discover such uncommon aptitude for magic in Vilthis.
 
This was too the period where Vilthis came to know another another esteemed mage by the name of Emphatico Karasi whom introduced himself an emissary of the rogue territories known as the Wayward Kingdom. Emphatico spoke to Vilthis about the Wayward uprising which Vilthis was enthralled by the manifestation of a such rebellion against the Octarchy he so despised. Persuaded by such a calling, Vilthis enlisted into the ranks of the rebellion for a period before a series of Blackflame entanglement resulted in the timely demise of Vilthis, and most notably the lost of his left arm.

Doomed to wander the Death Realm lost, broken and maimed, Vilthis walked the planes, and depths of the realm as he explored the nature of death and studied the Dark Crystal. The epiphany that the Dark Crystal is central to the preservation of the universe instilled Vilthis with reverence to Dakkru, the Goddess of Death. Departing from his former worship of Laanx, Vilthis assumed his new paradigm and served as a Doomguide during his remaining tenure within the Death Realm.


Time and mortality is transient within the Death Realm as Vilthis indulged in this luxury at his liberty as he studied the Dark Arts without the constraints of a Xacha lifetime. Cumulation of his life work combined his new found knowledge of necromancy with Xacha alchemy. A notable invention based on the amalgamation of sorcery and science constructed by Vilthis is the Cabalist Axis. Serving as a restoration of his left arm, this invention of semi sentience forged of machine and flesh endowed surpassing endurance, durability and strength to wield devastating arcane energies beyond the capacities of bare flesh.

However, the jewel upon his crowning work is much less conspicuous. The age bound Vilthis, in his research of leaving the Death Realm has successfully completed of a ritual from the book titled "The Pact" recovered by a famed Death Realm Explorer, Shindrook the Mad. Effectively, it halted Vilthis aging; rendering him frozen at the age of 24 indefinitely.

No longer age bound within the Death Realm, Vilthis assuredly returned to the Realm of Living...Only to discover that no time little passed since his supposed Death...
