The child of a Nidalese ambassador to Egorian, Vykos was raised in both a pampered yet perverse atmosphere as a child. He far prefers his life in Cheliax, to that of his early childhood in Nidal and has quickly taken to paying lip service to Asmodeus, in addition to his faux respect of The Midnight Lord.
As the third son Vykos has been granted a great deal of freedom and often spent his nights staving off boredom by roaming the streets of Egorian. His recently discovered shadowy sorcerous talents are quite obviously a gift from The Midnight Lord, yet they are a gift he plans to keep to himself. In the end, he hopes to ingratiate himself into chelish society, and eventually the aristocracy in order to be free of the shadow which looms over his family.
