Backstory

Ygor was born hundreds of years before the campaign as a snow elf, part of the Vectress family in Evermest. The family was looked down upon and mistreated by the townspeople of Evermest, which Ygor responded to by robbing the manors he was hired to clean. Simadilim Vectress, Ygor's older sister and a schoolteacher in Evermest, formed a plan for the family to get revenge on the town as she studied dark magic. Ygor was hesitant about this plan, thinking it seemed too drastic. A few years earlier, also met Lion Lorelit, who had come to Evermest to extend his court's reach. Ygor was the only one to recognize him as a vampire. Upon agreeing to keep this a secret and help him if he can, the two became allies, then friends. Over the next few years, the two would keep a correspondence, and grow closer. When Simadilim enacted her plan, killing the older students and raising them as undead then charming the younger students as child soldiers to attack the town, most of the Vectress family had to flee. Lion invited Ygor to join him in the Shadowfell and Ygor accepted, joining the Lorelit Court and becoming a vampire himself. He would live as part of the Lorelit Court for many years before breaking ties with them, stealing a bunch of stuff (including the Chalice of Blood), and fleeing back to the material plane.

Ygor spent many years wandering the material plane. He would go from town to town, mooching off people, scamming, and stealing where he could. He is also a gambler. At one point, Ygor placed a large bet on Sengir Ironbeard's forces winning the Battle of Fargan. He lost the bet. At the time of the Battle of Osisris, Ygor forged the will of Catalina Chak and

Several months before the campaign began, Ygor was cursed by a hag to be unable to lie. Because this left him without an income, unable to do the only job he knew, he decided to join the Cardinal's Reach in Aakarii, Wuxia.

Meat Squad

On a mission in Wuxia, Jaing Chak was nearly killed after being crushed by an avalanche after being knocked unconscious. In an effort to save his life, Ygor drained Jaing before he died, turning him into a vampire. Jaing would remain a vampire until he sacrificed this curse to activate the portal to the Terror King's Realm in the Corvid Estate basement. After the death of Arphazel Beelzazel, Ygor adopted her pet Slitherstole that was left behind. It now joins Ygor on adventures.

Ygor has won two duels. The first was against Fake Michiya, who forfeited the duel by not arriving. The second was against King in the Undercity of the Clockwork City, using training pistols. Unbeknownst to King, Ygor cheated by subtly casting some spells on himself before the duel.

Abilities

• Spellcasting – Ygor is able to use his fey curse to cast spells, and has attained some expertise of spellcasting through it. He augments his spellcasting with blood magic learned from Laila Lavellan Lorelit. Some of his more notable spells include Bigby's Hand, Catalina's Magic Canoe, Cure Wounds, Crown of Stars, Polymorph, Tasha's Otherworldly Guise, and Wish. His spellcasting can also trigger a Wild Magic surge.
• Luck Manipulation - This same manipulation of the wild fey magic of the curse allows Ygor to bend the luck of himself or those around him.
• Vampiric Powers - As a vampire, Ygor can charm people, turn into a bat, and drink blood.
• Blood Sense - After being given the blood of Vespera, Ygor can detect creatures in a nearby range that have blood or are bleeding.

Equipment

• Suit of the Scion of Unyielding Chaos - Given to Ygor by the Eclipse. Does a whole bunch of chaotic wild magic shit.
• Chalice of Blood - A stolen relic of the Lorelit Court. Once per day Ygor can fill this chalice with any blood he has tasted.
• Two Sending Stones - Given to Ygor by Hina and Velina. Used for communication. The first can contact other linked sending stones, the second can contact any friend.
• Several Umbrellas of Darkness - Bought a dozen of them in the Dark Corrals in Tawanochi, three are left. They produce a magical darkness beneath the shade of the umbrella, allowing Ygor to avoid the sun.
• +1 Ceremonial Katana - Given to Ygor by Princess Iwa for his duel with Michiya. Rarely used, as Ygor uses magic much more than martial fighting.
• Magnificent Sanguine Coat and the Tome of Leadership and Influence - Increases Ygor's charisma.
