Viggo Nazarov

Viggo is a half-Siren half-human ally of the party.

Description
Viggo is an incredibly beautiful man. He is tall and slender, with fair skin and long hair that fades from white to deep pink. He has one green eye and one brown, and very long eyelashes. Viggo wears flowers and leaves in his hair, and has vines tattooed across his body, usually hidden by his clothes.

Viggo is incredibly charismatic and flirtatious, and has a great deal of energy, often acting rather eccentrically. He is kind and loyal, and cares very deeply about people who he meets and gets to know. Viggo is extremely intelligent, and has always been a prodigy when it comes to history, music, and magic.

Pre-Campaign
Lord Aleksandr Nazarov had just inherited his late father's title and lands when he was shipwrecked off the coast of Shora. He had been studying at the Glimmerwell Academy, and had booked passage on a ship to take him home when his father passed. The ship ended up caught in a storm, and sunk, with Aleksandr thrown into the sea. He nearly drowned – until he was saved by a siren named Azalea. Azalea was the daughter of a Siren Queen, but was nothing like her mother (a cruel, bloodthirsty siren who had abducted and murdered countless men). Azalea was fascinated by mortals, and Aleksandr was an incredibly handsome young man at the age of 18. She took him to a cave off the shore of Shora. There they resided for two weeks while Aleksandr recovered from an injury sustained in the shipwreck.

To this day, he refuses to admit what transpired between the two during those two weeks. All that is known is that nine months later, a pair of incredibly beautiful babies were left at his door with a message from Azalea containing apologies, farewells, and the names of the two babies: Viggo and Vivira. She was never seen or heard from again.

Aleksandr weathered any criticism from fellow nobility and had his two children legitimized by the Emperor as soon as he could. They were his children, born out of wedlock or not, and of his own noble blood. Despite being absent for much of their childhoods due to fighting in the war, he was a kind and loving father, who often brought back trinkets for the twins.

He was called away to war when the twins were only toddlers. Worrying for their safety, he decided to marry, giving the twins a mother while he was away. His chosen bride, Svetlana, was a childhood friend of his. They married in wartime, and she evacuated with the twins to go further north in the country. She and Aleksandr had four children of their own: sons Maxim and Aleksandr (usually called Sasha), and daughters Lena and Olya.

After the war, Aleksandr and his family returned to the city of Shora. It was there, back by the sea, that the twins began to explore their abilities as half-Siren. Both also displayed budding magical talent. Aleksandr, as a sorcerer himself, tutored his children in magic himself. He and his family also began taking trips to Pyrias a few years in, to further diplomacy between the two countries. It was there that they met and started to stay with the Umbrazi family.

Vivira and Viggo, who were 19 when they first met the Umbrazi family, faced more than a little pressure to bond with the eldest children. While Viggo struck up a close friendship with Neva and did not seem to feel anything more, Vivira and Yali developed a strong attraction. The Nazarov family was safe at home in Shora when the dragons attacked, and they did not hear anything from the Umbrazi family for months. Vivira and Viggo were both miserable, but knew they simply had to wait it out.

After the situation in Pyrias settled down, the two families were reunited. Vivira and Yali were wed, and Viggo and Neva's close friendship resumed. They went on several adventures together, one of which involved the rescue of a tiger cub, who remains with Viggo to this day. Viggo was sad when Neva left for school, but excited for her, and the two wrote each other letters. Viggo was the one who warned her when her family figured out her deception, and the two lost touch when she left Glimmerwell.

Campaign
Viggo, worried about Neva, travelled to Illuren in early 2255 to look for her. He found her in the marketplace of Feypass, and the two were joyously reunited. He was introduced to her new friends, and was particularly drawn to Matthew. Viggo asked the party to accompany him on a quest: finding Orlagh's Violin. He wanted the mythical violin for his own, and believed they could find it near the city of Deepwick.

They journeyed south together, however, things took a dark turn in the Esterlis Woods. A group of Fey-hunting Cultists found the group and, after placing most of the party in an enchanted sleep, controlled Matthew, forcing him to stab Viggo nearly to death. They then kidnapped him, taking him to an abandoned manor deep within the woods.

Viggo did not have to wait long before being rescued. The party found him, shaken and injured but alive, locked in the basement. After a few serious conversations (during which he learned the truth about Matthew), he and the party continued south to Deepwick, where Viggo asked for a few days of rest. He went to brunch with the party, went shopping, gave them gifts, and finally visited the High Temple of Aion.

Viggo had never been a particularly religious man. He believed in the Gods, but outside of festivals never really attended Temple. Recent events, however, left him in need of comfort and peace, and he hoped that the temple could offer him that.

To his immense shock, the High Priest of Aion, an elderly aasimar named Cassian, informed him that he was in fact destined to be Aion's champion. Viggo was semi-reluctantly persuaded to remain at the temple to train as an acolyte, putting his quest for Orlagh's Violin on hold and bidding a fond farewell to the party for now.

Neva
Viggo and Neva are the best of friends. They met through their families, who hoped that the two would be wed. To the disappointment of their parents, nothing but friendship blossomed between them, and they went on quite a few adventures together - and attended many parties. Viggo and Neva tend to exist on their own wavelength when they're together, finishing each other's sentences and talking at a rapid pace.

Matthew
Viggo was instantly attracted to Matthew when they met - moreso than the normal flirtation he exhibits with everyone else. He finds Matthew intriguing, mysterious, and kind, and wants to get to know him better. He knows the truth about Matthew's demon, and feels a great deal of sympathy for the young man, wanting to help him as much as he can. Viggo knows that what happened in Esterlis was not Matthew's fault, and does not hold him accountable whatsoever, but still has nightmares of Matthew standing above him with a blade, hurting him.

Jasmine
Viggo's beloved tiger. Viggo and Neva saved Jasmine when she was a cub, and he adores her. She is, in turn, extremely loyal to him, and goes with him everywhere, living a very pampered life.
