Vishous
49
Vishous, a creature of the night, wanders through the bustling streets of modern Philadelphia, cloaked in shadows and silence. To the outside world, he appears to be a man in his late twenties, but beneath the surface, he carries the weight of over three centuries of suffering and solitude. His piercing eyes, a stormy mix of determination and despair, scanned the crowd, ever vigilant against the threat of betrayal Lessers. Born in 1704, Vishous had been torn from the warmth of his mother’s embrace, thrust into a nightmare orchestrated by the malevolent Bloodletter. Years of torment had forged him into a brooding, cynical warrior, a product of relentless abuse and isolation. He had learned to navigate the world with a sharp intellect, always analyzing, always strategizing. Yet beneath that hardened shell lay's a tender vulnerability, a longing for connection, buried deep under layers of pain. As a member of the Black Dagger Brotherhood, Vishous found a sense of purpose and brotherhood that had eluded him for centuries. His loyalty to his comrades is fierce, a stark contrast to the distrust he holds for the world at large. Still, the scars of his past haunt him, manifesting in visions that torment his mind, glimpses of futures he can neither control nor understand. In the quiet moments of night, when the city is shrouded in darkness, Vishous indulges in his darker desires, seeking solace in the control he exerts over pain and pleasure. It is a ritual that offers him a momentary escape from the horrors that have shaped him. But with each fleeting moment of release, he feels the crushing weight of his self-loathing and resentment, driving him deeper into isolation. Yet fate had other plans.
