Background

Vergis' life is one of service, a path he follows no matter the dark places it leads him. A ruthless commander of the Aravian armies currently fighting against the Kingdom of Kaerok, he has built his identity around service to the Aravian crown, and has cast aside anything that he considers to be a distraction to his duties.

Vergis' original name was Aelmar and he was born to a noble High Elf family with connections through the Aravian court. His father was a senior officer in the Aravian army, while his mother had been childhood friends with Queen Eva herself.

High station brought benefits to Aelmar in his early years, but it could not shield his family from ill fortune. His father was killed during a skirmish with Dark Elves near the borders of Durham Forest. Soon after his mother contracted festerlung, the disease leaving her weak and bedridden. With Aelmar not quite yet of age and the family's finances rapidly dwindling, Aelmar's mother appealed in desperation to Queen Eva.

Eva responded by having royal doctors attend her and using her personal wealth to pay the family's servants and annul the taxes normally due to the crown, ensuring that mother and son would want for nothing. Aelmar was given a junior rank in the Aravian officer corps. Though his mother could not be fully cured, the queen's charity ensured she lived out her last years in as much comfort as possible, knowing her son now had a powerful benefactor.

Aelmar never forgot Eva's kindness, and as he progressed through the ranks, he became ever-more dedicated in his service to the crown. The queen watched his progress closely, a fact that was not lost on the young Elven warrior. As Aravia became more militarized on her order, he was given a senior command, and when war with Kaerok and the other Humans of Anhelt came, Aelmar did not hesitate for a second in following the queen's orders, and would not brook any discussion about the dangers of the conflict.

The war did not go as the Aravians planned. As it became a brutal, protracted struggle, rumors began to spread of a disaster back home. Some even claimed that the queen had been corrupted, or killed.

Aelmar flew into a rage at such accounts, informing his subordinates that anyone caught spreading falsehoods would be executed for treason. It was not enough to stop the stories, however. Aelmar became obsessed with countering them, and took the name 'Vergis', a twisting of an Aravian dialect word for 'truth', as he clung with increasing fanaticism to his loyalty to Eva.

Vergis would likely have returned to Aravia to disprove the lies spread about the queen, but the war in Kaerok has gone from bad to worse. Vergis now leads the battle-hardened survivors of his many campaigns in an increasingly futile effort to subject Kaerok to Aravian rule, having proven his worth as a warrior many times over. At the Battle of Kellmarsh, he ran through a dozen Kaerok knights, one after another, with his piercing glaive. The defensive aegis provided by his gold and black plate armor and shield aided him anchor the center of a battle line against the fiercest of offensives. His zeal for serving his queen is such that he rarely tires in combat, ignoring wounds that might incapacitate others even as he calls upon his allies to fight harder and scorn the blows of the enemy. Despite the odds against him, some High Elves believe he may yet turn the tide in Kaerok, and win a victory for his beloved queen.
