Ygor's character sheet on D&D Beyond
Appearance
Ygor is short for an elf at 5'2". He has yellow eyes and elvish features from his snow elf lineage. Wild magic turned Ygor's skin bright blue and made all his hair fall out, except for a thick full beard of black hair, the result of Ygor's Belt of Dwarvenkind. He usually wears one of his tailored suits, his Magnificient Sanguine Coat, and a large sun hat. If it is during the daytime, he is also usually holding an Umbrella of Darkness to keep the sunlight away.
Biography
Ygor was born hundreds of years before the campaign as an elf. As a young adult he became a vampire. He joined the Lorelit Court but his relationship with them ended poorly. He spent many years wandering, mooching off people, scamming, and stealing where he could. He is also a gambler. Notably, he placed a large bet on Sengir Ironbeard's forces winning the Battle of Fargan, and lost. Several months before the campaign began, Ygor was cursed by a hag to be unable to lie. Because this left him without an income, he decided to join the Cardinal's Reach in Wuxia.
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 uses the Chalice of Blood which he can fill with any blood he has tasted, including the blood of Jaing or a Doku child. He also has a sending stone.
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.
