story.

From the south of Ferelden, within the uncharted territories of the Frostback Basin, there lies the Badlands where Vyke is said to be from. Part of the Nightfolk, a subsection within the tribe headed by Hoarah Loux, he is guided by the stars to head northward into Thedas. Being a lone adventurer, yet notable in his full suit of armor and tall spear that he is never seen without, he often poses as hired muscle for select jobs which he finds to be worthy enough to take on. There is no telling what the criteria entails to have him agree, but there seems to be something guiding him further on to the point where he is never truly in one place for too long. From what people can say who have met him, Vyke is known as a spirit warrior and does not quite hide the fact that he is also a mage ( much to the annoyance of many a templar who have not caught him yet )—however where he learned most of his spells is the one thing he often hides for the simple desire of protecting that which gave him the trust in the first place: a dragon. From his bond, he was able to learn the power of the storm, and wield electricity magic alongside his prowess with the spear. Now, the spear doubles as a staff, with its foci on the butt-end with a gifted crystal from the dragon itself. ( Off the coast in Storm Coast, there lies Dragon Island where a Vinsomer High Dragon by the name of Lansseax resides. Vyke can also be seen here, if one knows how to get there, that is. ) Yet, all journeys often come to an end, but no one knows what exactly that end was. Only one thing is certain: Vyke disappeared without a trace. Some say he traveled east, others say he went further north, while a small, select few say they saw him descend below ground, past the dwarven thaigs, past even the Deep Roads, to go where no man in centuries has been able to go. They said he is as good as dead, counting him among the corpses that litter the way, thus when he finally dragged himself up to the surface, less of a man he once used to be, no one truly believed it. In now melted armor, and an odd sensation surrounding him, he staggered and pulled himself to a rest at a small town just on the outskirts of Orlais. There, stories began to circulate. The town had gone mad with a mysterious flame burning them from within. Screams are often heard in the night, a proclamation to one of the lost Forgotten Ones to take them all, make them all equal within the chaos that is bound to come. It got to the point where Templars from a nearby city were then dispatched to control the area, only to be met with Vyke. Stories were added: was he dead or locked up, one does not know for certain. But all tell of Vyke vanishing once again.

interaction notes.

events not set in any particular game, can span across all three mirroring the protagonists from each as he does his own things. can be met here and there, but will never be a full companion, and can actually be a boss / enemy depending!

most interactions will be based before he descends. plotting otherwise is the only way I will write frenzied Vyke with anyone. some of these plots can be breaking him out of jail inside of a Circle if there is any interest.

easiest mode of interaction is Inquisition based: he is on Dragon Island which the Inquisitor can get to by way of a side quest. but he will either try to stop them or fight them off from attacking the dragon there. if the Inquisitor backs off from killing the dragon, Vyke can be recruited temporarily before he disappears by the end of the main game events.

Origins / DA2 centric characters, he will be part of one of the dragon cults within the area. however, he will want to go down into Orzammar / the Deep Roads ( da2: can be either of the three acts where the party goes back into the Deep Roads ), but will then disappear from the party once there if taken. if not taken, he will no longer be around.
