Disappointing.
This was Viktor Volesky's life in a single word. He wasn't the smartest teenager, nor was he the most handsome or most athletic. Aside from a preoccupation with goth subculture, he was average in every way. At home, he was invisible to his parents, who spent more time with their colleagues and drinking buddies than him. Aside from a few close friends and a beloved girlfriend, he was alone...
Wretched.
The Nictus Dimmed Aphelion was a murderer and a traitor to his fellow Kheldians. In those ancient days, his only reward for changing sides was subservience, and for eons he was little more than a lackey. The bonds of his servitude chafed, and one day he broke free of the Nictus. Once again, he was outcast...
Dimmed Aphelion was doomed unless he could find a host. Unbound, he roamed Paragon City, seeking his salvation. Aphelion refused to force himself on the humans - he could not bring himself to continue what had been a long chain of unwilling hosts. Nevertheless, time was his enemy, and he sought quickly the nearest, healthiest candidate: a young adult human male residing in Skyway City. Viktor Volesky.
