Jorraveth Veyx is the secret son of Shaelith Veyx, leader of the Crimson Thorn Wych cult, and Isaak Von Wolkoff, a voidborn Inquisitor taken prisoner and harvested for his genetic material. He was created through a vat-grown synthetic womb as part of Shaelith’s twisted experiment—a fusion of perfect martial design and forbidden blood.

From birth, Jorraveth was raised in secret deep within Commorragh. Shaelith trained him in the ways of the Wych: acrobatics, blade combat, control of pain and silence. But he was never like the others. He spoke. He questioned. He cared. And in a cult that had taken a sacred vow of silence, this made him dangerous.

Fearing discovery, Shaelith hid him from the rest of the cult. When whispers of his existence began to spread, she made a pact with the Mandrakes of Aelindrach—the terrifying shadow-creatures who dwell in a realm outside time and reason. In exchange for their protection and silence, she handed Jorraveth over to them.

He spent years—perhaps decades—lost in their realm, where light has no meaning and the laws of the material world fail. The Mandrakes altered him. One of his arms became a shifting mass of living shadow, etched with glowing sigils. His mind fractured under the strain, and to protect himself, he fashioned a blindmask of wraithbone, nailed into his skin, to keep the visions and voices at bay.

Eventually, he escaped. He returned to realspace, changed and unstable—but alive. Now he drifts between worlds, unclaimed by either Commorragh or the Imperium. The Crimson Thorn sees him as a betrayal. The Inquisition sees him as a threat. And the Mandrakes are not finished with him.

Jorraveth doesn’t fully understand what he is—or what he’s becoming.
But deep down, he knows one thing:
He was hidden for a reason.
And now he’s out.
