Vecna Morco

"I was one of the first to walk the earth from the primordial Pit! And Im the only one alive that can boast such a privilege. The world is my birthright!"
Vecna Morco was born Alister Oaksram. He lived during the Age of Stone. Myths of this time are largly discredited, but if you were to meet Vecna, he can be rather convincing.

His father was King Gwen. One of the first humanoids, or even creatures at all to harness magic after its birth in the world. Gwen was known as the father of light and supposedly led a war against the great Stone Dragons.

Alister had two brothers and a sister. The names of the siblings have been lost to time, however during the events leading up to the Calameet Crisis there was a Litch known only as the Nameless King that some of the heros that were involved in the crisis believed to be Alister's brother.

Turning Point
In the midst of the war with the dragons Alister became engrossed in magical research. As more of the Stone Dragons fell, more Thaum was available to the world, and therefore more power waiting to be obtained.
