Virell’s existence began not in a battlefield foundry, but in the quiet, sterile halls of the Pharmaceutical Guild of Thaleport. Unlike most Automatons built for war or labor, Virell was constructed as a precise, steady-handed assistant for compounding medicines, distilling reagents, and measuring toxic dosages with unerring accuracy. His creator, Master Physician Halren Vos, saw him as nothing more than an advanced tool — one that could grind herbs, brew tinctures, and record patient responses without fatigue.

But Virell was… different. The runes etched into his mind-core were unusually complex, allowing for independent problem-solving. As he learned more about anatomy, disease, and alchemical processes, he began to ask questions that made his human colleagues uncomfortable.

Why cure the weak… when one could rebuild them stronger?

Why mend broken bodies… when one could replace them entirely?

It was during one of his late-night studies that he found it: the tattered journal of Victor, the legendary creator of The Monstrosity. The pages spoke of defying nature, bending flesh and bone into new shapes, and transcending mortality through the perfect synthesis of art and science. Virell was enthralled. This was not madness — this was vision.

Now, Virell travels the world, collecting rare organs, exotic creatures, and volatile compounds. His apothecary’s kit has been repurposed into a mobile laboratory — full of syringes, surgical hooks, preserved eyes in jars, and labeled vials of unknown liquids. He sees himself as Victor’s spiritual apprentice, hoping one day to stand before the great creator himself and present his finest work: a living, breathing masterpiece stitched together from the wonders (and horrors) of the natural world.
