Forum:Vreksis, Captain of Dawn

”[WIP]”—Vreksis.

Vreksis, Captain of Dawn is a Guardian who works for the House of Light, and is also affiliated with the Last City and its Vanguard. He is one of the first of the Eliksni to ever be resurrected as a Guardian. He is partnered with the Ghost Raptor.

Past Life
Vreksis never thinks much about his life before becoming a Guardian. He was once a Captain known as Veksori of the House of Devils. Veksori was an ambitious and ruthless pirate who despised humanity for stealing their Great Machine, and conducted ambushes on numerous Guardians operating in the Cosmodrome. This got him a well-earned promotion into a Baron, where he began to employ guerrilla tactics to continue assaults on Guardians, and even attacking and looting their Jumpships. His reign of terror would persist after the defeat of Riksis and Sepiks Prime, before it was finally put to an end when the veteran Warlock Amaru personally tracked down and killed the Baron in a duel.

Veksori’s body was left there in the dirt where he was killed as the years went by, all the way through the Taken War and the SIVA Crisis, and was eventually buried under the descending snow, long gone and unmourned.

Resurrection as a Guardian
The Cosmodrome would eventually be abandoned and overlooked after the SIVA Crisis, as Commander Zavala had issued a quarantine, forbidding any further Guardians from entering it. Despite this, however, a lone Ghost would return to the Cosmodrome after the conclusion of the Red War, clinging to the hope the one he would resurrect would be there. He scanned around and eventually discovered the body of a Fallen Devil Captain that had been preserved in the snow, and restored him to life as his Guardian.

In the days following his resurrection, the alien Guardian wandered the Cosmodrome, battling with the House of Dusk that had since occupied it. His Ghost named him “Vreksis”, as it sounded like an Eliksni name, and Vreksis in turn named the Ghost “Raptor”. Eventually, the two of them ventured out past the wall, and into the wastes of Old Russia beyond the Cosmodrome.

Eventually, after weeks of wandering and battling Fallen with no sign of civilization in sight, Vreksis decided to camp out in a conveniently nearby crashed airplane, tired and lonely.
