The Chorus
The Chorus is the snake’s head of the howling mob known as the Scarlet Horde. It is unclear whether they cares to lead them, as most days they seem more focused on cruelty, childish pettiness, and their own personal wants and needs.

Appearance
The Chorus' appearance is as unsettling as his reputation. Their armor is a patchwork of threadbare rags, mended from countless sources, and somehow surviving the inferno of his chaotic form. A nearly-indecipherable patch on their shoulder identifies the garment as the uniform of a Royal Interrogator, though closer inspection reveals that the patch is made of human skin, with a faded tattoo marking it. The rest of their attire, including their gloves and boots, bears the marks of countless battles, caked in dust and old bloodstains, with fiery runes glowing ominously.Personality and Behavior
The Chorus is a creature of contradictions. They are both the leader of the Scarlet Horde and its prisoner, caught between their own cruel whims and the demands of their endless inner voices. Their bronze helmet, which shifts and warps with each new expression, conceals a mind in constant turmoil. Their speech changes with his shifting moods, moving from cruel mockery to scholarly discourse, to eerie self-reflection. Despite their apparent madness, The Chorus is a cunning and dangerous figure, their every move calculated to further his goals. Their presence is unsettling, drawing the eye even when unseen, and those who meet their gaze are often left unnerved, as if they've glimpsed something far more terrifying than a simple person. The Chorus is a living enigma, a monster forged by cruelty and power, always seeking to unravel the secrets of others while guarding their own with fanatical zeal.Rise to Power
As the Virage of Secrets, The Chorus became a key figure in Vudon's rule, feared and revered for their ability to root out treason and crush dissent. Their fanatic devotion to Vudon was unquestionable, and they became notorious for their relentless pursuit of even the faintest hint of betrayal. The Chorus is not content with merely serving Vudon; they are driven by an insatiable hunger for power and knowledge. In their pursuit of these, they have absorbed the minds of at least two other Virages, though their powers did not pass to him. Undeterred, they continues to manipulate and challenge their peers.The Scarlet Horde
The Chorus commands the Scarlet Horde, a chaotic and brutal force under Vudon's banner. The Horde is less an organized army and more a howling mob of savages, ravaging everything in their path. Despite their wildness, The Chorus' iron grip keeps them in check, and the brutal leadership of The Chorus ensures the Horde are an effective, if terrifying, tool of conquest. Yet, The Chorus' methods are not without a twisted sense of mercy. Unlike the Dishonoured, who leave no survivors, The Chorus offers defeated enemies a choice – to swear fealty to The Chorus and serve the Horde, or face a far worse fate. They has even enacted laws to protect children and enshrined the authority of the Lawbinders. Still, The Chorus enacts measures that, while brutal, ensure the continued dominance of The Empire of Vudon's."If there is a place where nightmares are born, it's in the imagination of The Chorus." - commoner saying
