"Mala ultro adsunt. Misfortune comes uninvited.”
Vortiger, once a noble knight and leader of the Holy Order of Balaur, he and his knights took a dark road after crossing paths with Apollyon.
Overview[]
Vortiger was one of the greatest Knights in the Order of the Holy Balaur, elite prior-warriors who would spread the Knights’ cause throughout the realm. He was the ‘knightliest’ of the order, protecting the weak and slaying the wicked with his blade and kite shield.
But his faith in the Holy Balaur was shaken the day he met Apollyon. She shared with him her conviction that this world had no room for sheep. The path of the wolves was the true path to success. She promised him a special place for his order. And so when civil war broke out, Vortiger led a band of priors from the Holy Balaur, renaming himself "Camio".
The Holy Balaur was rechristened the Black Prior, a dark order of the Knights who were free of the code of chivalry. They became the terrifying force tasked with drawing out the ‘true wolves’. They were ruthless warriors in the Blackstone Legion who cut a trail of terror across the land.
When the tides of war turned and Apollyon was defeated, the Black Prior dispersed and disappeared. For years, they were silent.
Then the earth rumbled again, threatening humanity. The Black Prior emerged from exile and, in a show of good faith, pledged their swords to the Knights. No one knows where they came from, but the Knights agreed--this dark force would help prepare for a new cataclysm. They would do anything and everything to advance the Knights’ cause. And for Vortiger, this was a chance to erase mistakes of the past; to prove the path of the Black Priors was the true path to righteous victory.
Trivia[]
- There is a slight difference between the looks of Vortiger and the default Black Prior (Camio's Legacy), despite them looking identical.
- Vortiger is shown to use the Sanctus Flere arms (a Rare gear look) in promotional material and his official bio page.
- Vortiger in the Season Trailer has an even more distinct look, as his sword and shield are not the default visual set (the Decrepit set). Instead, they use Legendary tier looks: the Blade is from the Dies Irae set while the Shield and Hilt are from the Beloved Dark set.
