Vigilo Angelius

Emperor of the Venatorian Empire

"I despise Vigilo Angelius with every speck of metal in my body, for all the lives he has ended. So why is he the most powerful Angelius in centuries? Part of me fears that the gods want this." ~Levioth Silverscribe, Head Researcher of the Authenian Archives.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Despite being in his early sixties, Vigilo only appears to be in his mid to late forties. All born from the Angelius bloodline age very well, generally appearing only three quarters of their actual age. While most his age are beginning to slow down, Vigilo is still in his prime.   Vigilo Angelius is a tall man with tan skin. His hair is black, swept to the left side and beginning to grey. His eyes are dark blue, with a thin layer of purple on the outer rim of the iris, a trait carried by all members of the Angelius Bloodline.

Special abilities

At will, Vigilo Angelius can make two ethereal eagle wings materialize from his shoulders.   The Angelius Bloodline is inherently magical, granting everyone who descended from Septimus Angelius some degree of arcane power. Vigilo Angelius is is the most powerful Angelius to have existed in centuries, capable of doing amazing things, such as instant long range teleportation, altering gravity and even dominating the minds of other mortals.

Mental characteristics

Education

Vigilo dedicated much of his childhood to learning how to run the empire that would become his, and studying the celestial power within his blood. He is incredibly well-read and an adept tactician. He is well versed in both history and the sciences, and is aware of all the cultures within Eregost.

Employment

During his father's reign, Vigilo joined the Order of The Watchers, giving him experience fighting extraplanar entities. Though after the death of his father, Vigilo saw the opportunity to change the continent in the way he feels will bring about a new age.

Intellectual Characteristics

Vigilo is far-thinking and anxiously tactical, wondering and worryong about the future. As far as he is concerned, today's inconvenience could be tomorrow's crisis. He tends to deal with issues before they become a serious problem, and often sends an unnecessarily large force to deal with problems, just in case the worst should happen.   Vigilo is logical and rarely lets the pressure or stress of a situation get to him, focusing on the task at hand instead. He is iron-willed and possesses a resolve that rivals that of the Olympians.

Morality & Philosophy

Vigilo believes that practicality is the only path a civilization can follow that doesn't eventually lead to destruction. This belief has led him to mold the empire he inherited into a lawful, dominating nation that enforces order upon all its citizens. In an ever-shifting world, Vigilo believes that only through tight control will the Venatorian Empire and all its citizens be able to survive.   Due to his love of order, Vigilo despises the Clans of the Ceilic region, seeing them as nothing but heretical savages that oppose the order of the perfect world he wants to forge. His actions are not motivated by anger, but instead out of the belief that the Clans of the Ceilic Region pose a risk to the stability of his empire.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

At the forefront of Vigilo Angelius' mind at all times is the safety and well-being of the Venatorian Empire and its people. He will do whatever it takes to keep his people safe, even if that means having the homes of suspected revolutionaries burnt to the ground, and the invasion and annexation of the Ceilic Region.   Although he considers this a secondary goal, Vigilo wishes to advance relations with the Authenian Republic, as he believes that improved trade routes and a cultural bleed with the Authenian Republic will help both nations to become the best versions of themselves.

Virtues & Personality perks

Through his entire life and the four assassination attempts on his life, no one can truthfully say that Vigilo Angelius has ever shown fear. He has been frustrated by setbacks, saddened by loss and angered by failure, but he has never once shown terror or panic.

Social

Reign

Emperor Vigilo Angelius has reigned for 32 years, and keeps a close eye over his empire.   Under the vigilant leadership of Emperor Vigilo Angelius, a remarkable transformation has swept through the lands, bringing with it an era of unprecedented stability and security.

In a remarkable display of military prowess, Clan Spartach, once a formidable force within the region, was brought to its knees within a mere year, a testament to the Emperor's determination and unyielding resolve. The annihilation of Clan Spartach, ordered by Emperor Vigilo Angelius, sent shockwaves through the region, serving as a stark warning to all who would challenge the might of the Venatorian Empire.

Mannerisms

When dealing with allies, Vigilo is cordial and courteous. He is polite and formal. His personality can quickly turn threatening when he is faced with disobedience or when others disregard his authority.
