NOX VULTUS

A male human Architect-Magi with dark auburn hair that falls in loose waves, often unkempt, and sunken hazel eyes that show signs of profound intellectual strain. His left hand is a skeletal prosthetic made of cold metallic alloys and bio-organic circuitry, glowing with a pale violet luminescence. He wears a long, deep blue coat reinforced with synthetic fibers and embroidered with twisted sigils, and his right arm is augmented with mechanical enhancements. Across his back, he carries a modified wrench-like device that serves as both a tool and a weapon.

Viktor is a man of cold intellect, driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge and a desire to transcend the limitations of the human body. His approach to life and death is not philosophical but practical—he believes that the next stage of human evolution is just beyond the grasp of current society, and that it requires sacrifice and risk. While he retains a calm, almost detached demeanor, Viktor’s eyes often flicker with curiosity when discussing new experiments or the intricacies of biomechanical fusion. He has little regard for social niceties and sees human emotions as an obstacle to progress, but he is also perceptive, knowing when to exploit people for his own ends. When he’s in the lab, his personality shifts completely, and he becomes a force of focused obsession, devoting himself entirely to his experiments with maniacal precision.

Once a promising figure in the Nox Vultus’ scientific community, Viktor Machinima was an Architect-Magi focused on extending life through mechanical augmentation and soul-binding experiments. Trained under another brilliant yet morally corrupt Architect-Magi, Viktor was heavily involved in secretive projects aimed at using arcane and mechanical enhancements to surpass natural death, under the guise of humanitarian efforts. However, an experiment gone horribly wrong during an ambitious project to transcend the human soul left Viktor severely damaged—his body and mind teetering on the edge of destruction. His flesh began to rot and decay, his body failing due to his overreach into forbidden realms. At this moment of desperation, Viktor made a deal with a shadowy figure from beyond Nox Vultus, an ancient being of technology and twisted science that promised him a second chance in exchange for his soul. Viktor agreed to the pact.
