Appearance:
Virek is tall and broad-shouldered like his older brother Vrelt. He has the the signature icy blue eyes of a Darkfang. Unlike His brother, he takes fully after his father, having pure white fur, without any areas of brown that betray how their mother was not a Pure Ferret. He is quick and extremely talented with his bow, after years of training. The young ferret is taller than Drask already, but even though he is becoming skilled in combat, he still can't beat his half-brother when they duel. Virek wears a blue tunic, he also wears an ocean blue cape, and he wears light, crimson colored armor whenever he trains or walks around the fortress.Belongings:
He owns a dagger and a bow.Job or Position:
He is training to join the the Shadow Group on Riftgard, as well as training to become a potential high ranking officer in the army.Personality:
Verik is very different from either of his brothers; he is far warmer than either one of them, at least on the outside, making him popular with many of the beasts at on the island. He doesn't like many beasts, and he trusts few, but he tries to hide that behind his relatively warm exterior. Virek is highly suspicious of strangers, as well, making his command style very cautious and calm; he doesn't like to take risks in leading in battles. Instead he carefully measures the odds, comparing his force to his enemies before doing anything. But of course, he has never lead soldiers into an actual battle, he has only participated in strategic war games on the large map of the known world that Drask has. So far, the young ferret shows promise, enough that Drask has his eyes following the career of his half-brother closely. The young ferret has yet to grow out of saying sarcastic things at the wrong times, and it seems as if he never will. He is one of only two beasts that can get away with saying some rather sharp words to Drask Darkfang, the other beast being Callista.History and Background Information:
Virek was born at Riftgard, and he is the youngest of the Darkfang brothers. Virek and Vrelt were both from the ferret with whom their father, Kralak, had an affair with. When Virek was born, both of his brothers were seven years old, and Drask had recently been taken away from his mother. He had a rather uneventful childhood, being sheltered in the fortress of Riftgard, and under the watchful eyes of his father, and his half-brother, Drask. His brother by blood, Vrelt, showed little interest in Virek, viewing him as competition and a nuisance.Any other details:
As Virek grew up alongside his brothers, he found that he liked Drask better, since he paid more attention to him than Vrelt did. Just like the previous offspring of Kralak, he began training in the court at a young age, and he took after Drask, learning quickly and applying himself. Truth to be told, he hated his studies, he only did them to try to become more like Drask, who had his father's constant favor. Virek didn't resent this because he found the friendship with his half-brother enough for him. Eventually he enjoyed his studies, as they delved more into combat training and the leading of soldiers, instead of how to conduct yourself in the royal court.
The young ferret was only nine years old when his father was killed, and the brief power struggle developed. He obviously supported Drask, feeling that he was the firstborn and should rightfully take the throne. When Drask took the throne after a fierce duel with Vrelt, which Virek found particularly amazing to watch, the young ferret began training in earnest, hoping that one day he could lead the Shadow Group or become one of Drask's highest ranked officers. It didn't take him long to master shooting a bow, becoming quite an accurate shot, as well as learning to be proficient with a dagger and sword, though he used these weapons far less than a bow.
Virek was sixteen when Drask allowed him to enter a formal position in the training corps of the Shadow Group. The ferret couldn't have been happier, he was finally on the long path to becoming a high ranked officer and joining his half-brother in making decisions regarding the army and navy. It was around this time that Virek first heard of Callista. At first, he found it laughable, what kind of female was it that could get into a verbal war with Drask and make him so mad? He found out when he was seventeen, as Callista arrived at Riftgard and married Drask. The young ferret hit it off with Callista, finding her sharp tongue and love of striking Drask with words much like his own sarcastic remarks.
Brother: Vrelt Darkfang; Half Brother: Drask Darkfang.
