Personality: Victor was always a calm,intellectual individual. He focused on his academics and became a brilliant scholar and (secretly) a greater wizard. Using green magic, seemingly reflecting his calm personality, he became a person in tune with the world around him. Humble and down to earth. Capable of kindness that would shock others. A warm hearted man who seemingly always had a story to tell.


Where are they from?: Near Oxiom


History: Victor's tale starts off like that of a normal child. He had a loving family and a good upbringing. He spent most of his youth buried in books and academics, studying everything every archive had to offer. His art, Green magic, was something that matched his kind persona well and he took to it like a natural. His art combined with his knowledge in botany and flora led him to become quite the efficient medicine man, if he so wished. Now, Victor was as equally curious as he was kind. A natural intellect encouraged further research and ambition. The druid wanted to know everything there was to know about....pretty much anything. About war tactics, kingdoms, trade, animals, anatomy, economy, geography, history, pretty much all subjects were an interest to this scholar. 


Despite being such a dedicated scholar, Victor found romance when he was 17 and was quickly married by the age of 20. A fiery, young woman by the name of Alana. A fervent huntress and passionate lover. Something about her lit a fire within his breast that he didn't know he was capable of. He found himself going above and beyond to getting her attention. After many failed attempts of trying to impress her with his bow skills (Mainly cuz he can't use one) she eventually gave him the time of day and she quickly fell for his incredible kindness and caring demeanor. She saw his passion in his studies. Not studying to pass the tests the academies give you but studying for the thirst of knowledge. He was just as passionate about his magic and scrolls as she was about hunting and archery. 


Alas, tragedy struck not too long after they had been married together. They were both at the prime of their years, 24, with a three year old daughter. The lovers had decided to take a walk in the woods, as they had grown accustomed to doing but a cloaked traveler had been traversing those woods at the same time that day. Being how he was, Victor offered his greetings and did not have enough time to regret. The cloaked man had been a black mage who was mere inches from death's embrace. In his fear, he simply lashed out with his final life force....killing Alana and blinding Victor simultaneously. The corrupt arcana deeply damaged Victor's soul and caused his body to start deteriorating over the years. With his knowledge of herbs and flora, Victor created tonics and boons to slow the corruption as much as he could. The result was him living as long as he has. He had his daughter grow up and have kids of her own and lived a full life himself. But somehow, the old scholar was not satisfied. He felt as though he still had much more to learn and the reason was because when he was blinded by the dark magic, he lost his sight of the physical world but gained the sight to see into the next life. The afterlife. There, Victor saw many wandering, tortured souls and realized there was still much he didn't know. He set about to helping these poor spirits find their final resting places.....one of which included his wife, angry and bitter at her own demise. A few days of consoling his deceased lover let her find the peace her family had hoped she would have found. 


Over the years, Victor learned to keep his eyes hidden, dawning a cloak and wrapping his eyes with a cloth. Any who looked into his eyes directly would see exactly what he saw and that alone was enough to send some men mad. The world of the dead was not happy one. At least, not while they remained on earth. So many souls whose bodies never received a proper burial. So many lives cut short. So many people still blindly clinging to life. 


Magic: Green magic. Victor is capable of using nature to guide himself without his sight. He is also capable of manipulating the flora around him, whether to create the herbs he made need for a boon, to manipulate the plants defend himself from most threats. Victor is very kind but Mother nature is not to be trifled with and neither is Victor. He can communicate with almost all animals and knowledge of advanced strategy and tactics help him use nature to his advantage. 


Extra: He can play a variety of musical instruments to pass the time while he rests his old bones. Or maybe just play music for the children (Its why the picture has a flute. Well horn...whatever)
