BIO:
Vigil is a talented man, nimble and quick. In fact, his natural affinity for quick, fluid
movement is what first drove him to pick up a chain in the first place. Unfortunately, he is
one of the few who sees the beauty in the weapon, as most assosiate the spiked chain with
Zon-Kuthon, the God of Pain and Torture. As such, Vigil is used to being pre-judged by most,
and has learned to keep his weapon under wraps, at least whilst in public.
Child of your average Westcrown merchant, Vigil lived a more-or-less comfortable life for a
Westcrani boy. He trained with a friend of his father's, a local weaponsmith, for a number
of years, learning how to craft, and wield, the various tools of war. When all was said and
done, his favorite weapon, both to build and to carry, was the spiked chain.
While few weapons could match it's dancing grace, and few could match it's destructive power,
even fewer could do both at once and Vigil soon enough became enamored with the weapon. He
would spend hours honing his skills after-hours, swinging his favorite chain in methodical
circles, slashes, and other patterns.
His skill came to be recognized by his immediate neighbors, and Vigil started demonstrating
his talents less in private and more in public.
One day, while swirling and swinging in the center of a small crowd, Vigil noticed two
approaching Hellknights, arguing with each other and staring at him. As they got closer he
overheard them- one was convinced that he had the superior skill with the chain. Before he
knew it, the Hellknight standing across from him holding a chain. And only a few seconds
later, he was staring up at Vigil from his back on the ground.
That move cost Vigil dearly. He was arrested- for something, and his parents were arrested-
for something else; both erroneous charges stemmed from the embarrassment the
overconfident Hellknight had suffered at Vigil's hands. Vigil would go on to escape from the
prison holding him, more thanks to luck and a drunk watchman than any measure of stealth or
skill, but he never saw his parents again.
Upon returning home, if you could call it that anymore, Vigil found little. The house he
shared with his parents had long since been looted, either by the Hellknights following his
arrest, or by unsavory locals during the week he'd been in jail. Regardless, there was
little left. Taking the looter-undiscovered nestegg his father had been hiding under the
floorboards, Vigil sold the house and never looked back.
He used the money he 'inherited' to purchase the necessary tools, equipment and materials to
support himself as a weaponsmith. He obviously still harbors a deep dislike for Hellknights,
even these three years later, as he never saw his parents again. He considers himself orphaned, and
makes his living making and repairing weapons out of his small workshop.
