Vohk’tirrel
Alias: Vohk
Era: Modern Geba
Affiliation: Church of the Infinite Maw (Scout-Class Engineered, Companion to Zairen Vaul)
Vohk’tirrel, known as Vohk, was a Scout-Class Engineered who evaded conscription during the Warlord Eras by surviving alone in Geba’s tangled forests and ruins for nearly twenty years, slipping between patrols with precision timing tied to breath cycles, shadows, and insect migrations. Emerging lean, quiet, and unreadable after the wars ended, he joined Zairen Vaul at his stead on the city’s edge, working side by side in rhythm to clear debris and build shelter—not as a believer initially, but as a brother in silence, eventually becoming Zairen’s first true friend through shared labor, laughter, and endurance.
When the Entity appeared, Vohk nodded without flinching, as if anticipating it, and remained steadfast as the Maw grew, organizing scouting parties, mapping terrain for expansion, and marking wartime ruins for reclamation. Years later, driven by loyalty, he led a private company of trackers to search for Zairen’s unknown father, escaping the Maw’s Crown’s perfection that bored him like a preserved relic, embodying perception beyond aggression—tracking heat, motion, vibrations, and pheromones with senses layered beyond even fellow Engineered.

Source Notes
- “Among them was a Scout-Class Engineered named Vohk'tirrel—Vohk, in the shortened tongue.”
- “He had not fought in the Warlord Eras. Had never done his eight years. He had been a child when the last great cities fell, and when the conscription crawlers came, he ran.”
- “He survived not by chance, but by nature. Scout-Class Engineered were made to perceive what others could not. His eyesight was sharper than predatory birds - able to track heat, motion, spectral light bands no natural-born could name.”
- “He avoided detection not with luck, but precision - timing his movements to breath cycles, shadow patterns, and insect migration.”
- “Vohk became the first true friend Zairen had ever known. Not an accomplice. Not a tool. A brother in silence.”
- “And Vohk, standing beside him, did not flinch. He did not ask what it was. He only nodded.”
- “He organized scouting parties. Mapped viable terrain beyond the old city limits. Identified pockets of stability for expansion. Marked the hidden ruins of war-time technologies for reclamation.”
- “Vohk never called himself a believer. But he never left Zairen's side.”
- “Vohk never cared for Phareon. The man always stared at him—not with hostility, but with that clinical, unsettling detachment that made Vohk feel less like a soldier and more like a malformed relic.”
- “He would've left eventually. But leaving for Zairen—that made it count.”
- “Scout-Class Engineered weren't bred for strategy or domination. They weren't tacticians. They weren't assault-tier. They lacked the reaction speed, the predictive muscle memory, the instinctual aggression that made the others into natural killers... But Scouts were different. Scouts were silence. Scouts were vision.”
