Velégnor is, perhaps, the oldest
living being in the universe. He was the youngest
warlock to be summoned to the Wizard’s Convention. He
was often mocked and sneered at by the elder magicals
but the Great Wizards had great faith in him. At the
Convention, he befriended Nasil of Mordon and Modius and
later Hidûd ’Odhs and Jocğ Micoc. He also became a great
rival of Crazbudar; claiming that he was selfish and
looking to better his position in the universe. During
this time, Velégnor learned of his great special ability
of foresight (to be able to see glimpses into the
future) and physic investigation (to be able to have
glimpses into people’s minds).
When Velégnor, Nasil, Jocğ, and Hidûd were able to
expose Crazbudar for his evil ways, the War of the
Crystals ensued. The four of them became low-ranking
commanders in the Universal Alliance’s army; however, as
more and more members of the Convention died by
Crazbudar’s forces, Velégnor rose to become the
highest-ranking commander. Velégnor learned of
Crazbudar’s plans to crush the Universal Alliance and
planned a counterattack. But it was Nasil, not Velégnor,
who eventually defeated the horrible Crazbudar and sent
him to the Great Abyss. Though he would never admit it,
Velégnor would remain envious and green-eyed toward
Nasil.
When the Universal Government was being formed, Nasil
offered his friend the seat as High-Elder of the
Universal Committee. Velégnor refused, claiming that he
was through with political life. He retired to his
castle of Mazä-Jeal on the planet Nemuson.
Nearly two thousand years after the defeat of Crazbudar,
Nasil arrived on Nemuson to speak with his old friend,
Velégnor. He explained to Velégnor that the Superior
Spirit had awoken him with plans for the return of
Satantine. Surprised and indignant over the Superior
Spirit’s choice of Nasil over himself, Velégnor became
vulnerable to the influence of the Dark Ways. He assured
Nasil that he would use his gifts of physic
investigation and foresight to help prepare and possibly
stop the Dark One’s return. Over the course of two
hundred years, the influence Velégnor felt was from the
Superior Spirit manipulated and poisoned his mind.
By the time Nasil returned after two hundred years,
Velégnor, as well as the entire facility of Mazä-Jeal,
Velégnor had completely changed for the worse. Velégnor
claimed that the Superior Spirit had abandoned the
universe and that the Dark One would take over. He
became so incredibly hostile to his once-friend that he
attacked Nasil. A brawl began between Nasil and Velégnor.
But just as he came at Nasil, Velégnor tripped on the
fallen crest of the Superior Spirit on the floor. He
slid across the room and out the window. He fell to his
death.
The prophesies of Velégnor continued to haunt Nasil as
he witnesses the general but definite takeover of
Satantine. Because of Velégnor, Nasil revealed the
location of an energy crystal to Jude Forque and Ronvoy
Messedu. That crystal is now in the hands of the Dark
One.
Velégnor typically wears a long, brown, flowing robe
over his dark skin. He has a snout like a dog’s but the
ears of a cow with sandpaper hands. Around his neck,
Velégnor wears medals and golden necklaces. |
