Vermithrax Phobos

"'I am the Blood Wyvern, I am the Ace of Yggdrasil,    I am..  actually really hungry, can we just fight and get this over with?' -Vermithrax Phobos"

Vermithrax is one of the main protagonists of the Yaalheim series. He is an Interceptor-class mercenary working for the YMS. He is a master Vibromancer, and without argument, the most skilled fighter in the employ of Yggdrasil Mercenary Service. He is aged 20 at the start of the books, appearing first in chapter 1.

Appearance
Vermithrax is a young man in his early twenties, standing at a slightly tall 6'2', with platinum blonde hair, that is always perfectly combed and      dark red eyes. His body is extremely fit, equal to that of some Olympic athletes, yet has mostly lean muscle, making it unnoticeable to most when he is fully clothed. Even though he has a full time job as a mercenary, we wears little armor. His attire consists of comfortable undershirt, which is dark brown and has the bottom of a tailcoat, and a hood as well as a leather armor vest, which he hides snacks in. He wears leather arm guards and poisoned spiked knee guards so he can fight against swords with hand to hand combat techniques. Vermithrax is said to have a calm, yet very smug face about 97% of the time.

Weapons and Abilities
Vermithrax is not a normal human. He was experimented on and pumped full of mutagenic magic serums, giving him the strength of 3.7 men, the speed and agility of an enraged hobgoblin and the endurance enough to sit through one of Siegfried's grammatical rants. The elixirs also gave him red eyes, but took no effect on his actual vision. He carries multiple weapons including a pair of catalyst shaolin monk hook swords, emei peircers, and the poisoned tips on his knee guards. He, however, has no need for these. As mentioned by Adrianne, when it comes to unarmed combat, the amount of people in Yaalheim that can face him on equal terms can be counted one one hand. Fighting him is mentioned to be the same as trying to fight a thunderstorm. His most famous ability, though, is that he always has perfect hair. This is due to the trained centipede that lives in his hood, named Jefferson. It constantly fixes his hair during battle. In truth though, his actual trump card lies in the swords. With dual sound crystals, he becomes what can only be described as a Berzerker. When the left crystal becomes active, it emits an extremely loud sound frequency that in humans, causes a horrible, paralyzing fear which he is trained to resist. When the right crystal becomes active, a noise is transmitted directly through his bones to his inner ear. This causes an awful uncontrollable rage, sending him crashing through enemy lines, slaughtering all who stand against him. This is why he is called Blood Wyvern.

Personality
When it comes to class clowns, the term could not better describe Vermithrax. Unless if you count thinking disemboweling someone with a cutlass isn't hilarious. Trying to "out cool" everyone simultaneously with most of what he does, he likes to keep a good public image. He puts on the face of a cool, independent, funny and uncaring badass,(which is pretty much true) but he is truly broken inside. He finds little enjoyable other than drinking and doing standing back-flips off of things because of his truly harrowing past. In a fit of blind rage, over the loss of his cousin(Rosalind's brother), which was in truth his fault, he massacred an entire village of over 300 people, who burned his cousin alive for witchcraft. This took place three years and half years to present day on the hill of the town of Marrow, hence the name "The Butcher of Marrowhill". Though his constant attempts to do good in the world are prevalent in the books, neither he nor Rosalind will ever forgive what he did. He is thought to have Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and has an IQ of 107.
