Of all the Gorgonars, Vilthiss is perhaps the most skilled and brutal
warrior the Atalantes have ever created in their hundreds of years of
arcane experiments and progeneration, for in battle his will is
unbreakable and his strength legendary; and until the revolt of the
Khthones began he was also one of their most trusted guardians, for even
though he knew of the perfidy and brutality of his masters, knew that
their decadence and corruption was sowing the seeds of hate in his heart
and in those of his kin, still he remained loyal until the Atalantes
became weak and too reliant upon the sklávoi, too trusting of them; for
had not those that had tried to free themselves from their chains before
been slaughtered by the strange and unworldly weapons of the Atalantes?
So, for many years (perhaps hundreds of years, for none now remember
his creation) Vilthiss was content to watch and wait, to fight in the
wars of the Atalantes as hard as he had ever done, to win great
victories for them, until one could assure him of freedom forever, of a
future where his allegiance could be given to the Khthones alone. Thus,
when Ophius first led the Gorgonars openly in revolt against their
masters, Vilthiss was amongst the first to join him in defiance and
retribution, for in Ophius he could see victory for the Khthones, and in
Vilthiss could Ophius see a champion of Khthon.
