Notes

• Once known as Victor Kruslav

• At the command of Tybus Fran, a rising elven power broker, Victor was drafted to sail with a crew of twelve into the uncharted Northern Arctic Shelf.

  • He would be gone for three years, leaving the thirteen-year-old Linden to run the forge and provide for his family and neighbors.
  • During the voyage, a violent feud broke out between two crewmen.
  • Victor, attempting to intervene, was thrown overboard into the freezing waters.
  • By the time the crew dragged him back aboard, his skin had turned an unnatural pale blue, and jagged shards of glowing ice had embedded themselves in his flesh.
  • They diverted to a nearby island in a desperate bid to save him, but Vander never awoke.
  • His heart had stopped. Believing him dead, they prepared to bury him the next morning.
  • That night, something unnatural occurred. Vander’s hair turned stark white, his eyes glowed with an eerie, frosted light.
  • He rose without a word and moved among the sleeping crew, his frostbitten hands freezing each man solid, their bodies turned to lifeless ice as if their very souls had been ripped away.
  • Those who woke to stop him were no match for his newfound power. Commanding ice with terrifying strength, Vander declared himself the Ice King, sparing a handful of survivors and allowing them to flee as a great citadel of frost rose behind him.
