Viro Ahala

Character overview

Viro Ahala is a young, arrogant dark-skinned trans man who claims to be a Hellknight.
He has dark hair falling just above his shoulders and wears black armor of a full Viro Ahala, though he is considered too young to truly hold that rank. Sister Sylve identified him as a deceiver who falsely calls himself a Hellknight and has manipulated her sisters. Sister Endreah stated that he possesses the armor and knowledge of a Hellknight, though another sister suspected he was an impostor.
Viro used the Sisterhood’s resources to seek a ritual for summoning a powerful devil near Chitterwood’s eastern border, intending to destroy those he considers undesirable, including Goblins and hobgoblins. Sylve did not know where he intended to perform it. Weeks before the Hellbreakers arrived in Vordia, Viro visited the Bright Embers Orphanate. Afterward, the Sister of the Golden Erinys rarely left the building, and the orphanage’s last two children were adopted shortly after his visit. The suspected Viro Ahala was believed to be troubling the Sisterhood of the Golden Arenas and preparing a ritual.
The party traveled to the Sisterhood’s mountain mission to find him, but confirmed he was not there. Their informant suggested Sister Endreah might know where he was preparing the ritual. After Endreah surrendered, the party could question her about Viro’s plans and the missing Viro Ahala. Lexx Rennde sketched Viro from Endreah’s description; Zagnub recognized the black armor in the sketch, but not the face. Rhokrag overheard a captain mention, while Rhokrag was imprisoned, that Viro had offered payment for information on the Hellbreakers League. The party came into Chitterwood hunting Viro and later returned to the goblins to learn his location.
Viro was performing a ritual within Chitterwood, drawing on a power that concealed him from The Ancestors. The ritual disturbed three nearby sites of subtle power, making them more dangerous to approach. Braknap offered a cloudy-Crystal Pendant talisman that, after exposure to the altered energies at all three sites, could help him see Viro’s location.
