Character Profiles VINE VEIN #10: Gregor

Hargor’s older brother, Gregor was 20 during Age 105 of the 2nd Era, and his star’s name was Hygross, and he and his brother Hargor were the 4th and 5th members to join Dragtide.

Gregor was the anchor to Hargor’s antics and gregarious personality. Slightly more jaded than his younger brother, Gregor had to grow up a little quicker, had to mature more swiftly and permanently. Hargor had done so somewhat as well, though it seemed as if he had buried most of that maturity in lieu of levity, ignoring the things that troubled him the most. Gregor faced these demons head on for the both of them. After their eldest brother Turor died, Gregor found the mantle of father figure quickly passed down to him, and it was something he never complained about, nor spited his younger brother for. At this point it was almost a dark family tradition. The only truly horrific thing was that if Gregor bit the dust at an untimely age, Hargor would have no one. That is, he would have had no one if such a tragedy struck, had they not met Nebra Oremire.

Shedding Shells

Gregor had, even after the death of his older brother in Age 98, managed to keep himself and Hargor not only alive, but their statuses as Shapers still hidden from anyone beyond the two of them. They were extremely careful never to display their abilities when outside of their home, and in fact, hadn’t displayed them much inside either.

Then, there came a night where the two of them decided to deliver a large order of garments to a client, after they had been working all day and night to get the job done on time. They were attacked by a Lightless, and were forced to reveal themselves as Shapers in order to defend themselves. Luckily for them, Elder Shaper Nebra Oremire had been tracking that Lightless, and came to their aid. Together they put the creature down. Neb explained to them who she was and what she was trying to do, and that they should join with her, as she had not come across many Shapers here since the Burning, and none had joined with her so far, opting to leave behind the Old Ways and their Shaper heritage altogether. She offered Hargor and Gregor a better life, one where they wouldn’t have to worry about Lightless or even the Queen, that they' would never be alone again. Gregor and Hargor agreed to Neb’s proposal, and they would embark on a journey that seemed as if it would finally and eventually lead to that better life that Turor and now Neb had promised them.
