(BELIEFS)
Loyis gives reverence to his own creation that grants him power. The Vuhdai he had created over six centuries ago becoming a force that brings nothing but pride and satisfaction to his life. While he was not always a vampire, he was always fascinated stories of ghosts and the powers they held over others. Leading him down a path of ancestral magic. In six centuries he has learned that mortal life is fleeting. But while life is cheap, death is useful. He has no regard for the living and would take a life in an instant if he needed to.

(PROFESSION)
Loyis has been the Blue Wizard and Archmage of Balrin for about a fifty years now. A fairly new recruit to the Triune Order, considering he's been a master of ancestral magic for over six centuries.

(TEMPERAMENT)
Loyis is a man of skilled deception, a man of tact and gile. He is known for getting into peoples heads with relative ease. Peering into other peoples business with no intent of asking for permission, just to find whatever information he seeks. For six centuries he has been a control freak of the highest caliber. Seeking absolute control over every tiny aspect of his life, his city and his power for most of his life. Once a slave, this wizard who communes with the dead will go to any length to protect his precious freedom to do what he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Any who get in the way of that will find his attitude turned bitter. Many who have sought to control or manipulate him in the past have found their blood drained and their body locked in his vaults. Loyis is known to be extremely distrustful of strangers and can hold a grudge for centuries against those who even mildly inconvenience him. Having a photographic memory, this means he never forgets the faces of those who have wronged him in the past.
(KNOWN MAGIC)
Instinct - Loyis has spent centuries honing his innate racial ability. Allowing him to instinctually sense the presence of danger around him before events unfold. Some might call it a limited kind of foresight, though in reality, its more of a gut feeling that he has come to trust and rely on.
Ring of Eyes - While Loyis is annoyed at the thought of true enchanting, he created this ring only recently. Bound with the spirit of a powerful greater whisp. Granting him the ability to sense the presence of high magic. Both currently in use and magic used recently. This ring allows him to recognize the origin and user of said magic as well as its sphere of power. Because of this he is capable of sensing when others are scrying on him or spying through other means.
Vuhdaism - Capable of drawing upon a six century old Vuhdai bound to his bloodline to cast psionic spells mirroring the powers of deep magic. Allowing him to use such magic without needing enchanted items or binding of spirits, the more of his descendants who die and merge with his Vuhdai, the stronger his psychic spells will become.
Divination - Over time, Loyis has mastered the art of divination. Allowing him to evoke and converse with spirits for knowledge he requires and scry on those he deems a threat to his bloodline. Even ritually calling forth visions of the past to discover lost secrets he deems useful.
Vampirism - Loyis is a trueborn vampire, 2nd generation as he was directly turned by an elder. While his body has been physically enhanced in every way and remains forever ageless, he is not invulnerable. Killable via a blade made of dragons bone, the venom of a werewolf, or several minutes of direct sunlight. By regularly consuming the blood of mortals he is able to retain his regenerative healing and appear youthful. However by consuming the blood of a shade or of an undead, he will experience several hours of agonizing pain, blocking his regeneration for a short time.

(EQUIPMENT)
Ladrian Mace - Forged of high steel by a skilled alchemist in primar. Infused with a combination of sapphire dust and trolls blood. Not only will the blade paralyze those it cuts within a minute, but these cuts will burn intensely like acid, melting flesh and bone. This double bladed, spiked mace has been used brutally by Loyis numerous times over the past century.
Blue Scaled Suit - Crafted entirely of blue dragon scales and polished to perfection. Granting him protection from both fire, extreme heat and cold. This suit was an extremely expensive gift from a rather drunk noble he blackmailed over three centuries ago. Not only is it protection from the sun, but it has a habit of blinding his opponents whenever it catches the light.
Curved Bone Dagger - An eight inch curved blade, crafted from a rather pathetic looking basilisks rip he killed centuries ago. Alchemically infused with blue mana dust. Allowing it to rapidly absorb and drain the blood of a body within seconds. Rendering them nothing but a dry husk of a corpse. While it may not kill immortals such as shades or vampires, it causes immense pain until they eventually heal from the ordeal.

(BACKGROUND)
Loyis was born to a merchant family in primar. Traveling all throughout the continent in search of that promised fortune his father had promised him. His family died of an infectious disease when he was fifteen. Forcing him to grow up fast, abandoning his parents family business for a darker future. At the age of seventeen, he discovered a small community of Vuhdai Sorcerers in the swamp. Adopted as a blood brother but never able to gain their ancestral power due to not being a member of their bloodline.
At the age of twenty Loyis married and had three children with a young woman, two years his junior. Not out of love... but out of the desire to create his own Vuhdai, linked to his own bloodline. As his children grew, he ritually bound them and their future descendants to the artificial afterlife. Forcing their spirits to merge within the veil upon their deaths. But in order for this power to manifest... he would have to wait until they had children of their own and eventually die themselves.
It was only at the age of thirty that an elder vampire slaughtered his adoptive family in the marsh. Vengeance for a grievance long predating his arrival. Loyis was desperate... but not stupid. He picked up a spear to fight, but quickly surrendered to the superior might of the elder. Seeing herself in Loyis, the elder made a pact with Loyis. Turning him into a trueborn vampire. In return for sparing his life and the life of his wife and children, she would call upon him one day to repay his debt. Before he knew it, she had vanished and he was left alone in the middle of the night. Surrounded by the corpses of the friends who had welcomed him when no one else would.

Over the centuries he watched as his children grew old, had kids of their own and passed on. Their spirits merging together into one unified Vuhdai, hidden within the veil. Over time as his bloodline grew in number, his grand creation grew in power with every family member who died. Not only had he granted himself immense psychic power through cursing his entirely bloodline with a dreaded afterlife of unity, his descendants had gained access to this power as well.
It wasn't until he reached four hundred years old that he caught the attention of the Triune Order of the Magocracy. Several times he was asked to apprentice under the previous blue wizard. Every time he denied them. Until finally the elder vampire who turned him showed up one day. Calling in the debt he owed her. Her only demand was that he accept their offer and take the position as blue wizard and lord of balrin. He protested at first... but at the threat of death, he finally relented and took the position. It didn't take long for his resentment and hatred of Grimone to arise. His core beliefs completely opposed to the black wizards quest for true resurrection.
