Viro Halchion

Owner and operator of Viro's as well as Halchion Acquisitions, Viro Halchion prides himself on the fact that the mystery that surrounds him is his greatest weapon. Rumors have been on the tongues of patrons that many of the Devil's Belly's up-and-coming have tried to double-cross and backstab Viro, but he has always been one step ahead. Coincidentally, he loves to play chess as one of his favorite games. Many citizens of the Rebel Isle will tell you that owing Viro a debt is riskier than signing a contract with a devil. He holds his end of the bargain every time, but he usually never goes back on it because he planned to pay it at the start. A leg up on Viro can change your name in the Devil's Belly forever. Viro and everyone close enough to him could tell you that he could easily conquer the Rebel Isle if he wanted to, and many have questioned why he has never tried.

The Prodigal Son
The rumor is that Viro came to the Rebel Isle long ago but those who could remember his arrival are too old now to place date on it. He made a small fortune and did well enough with gambling his life and walked away with heavy pockets. He eventually left the Rebel Isle for an unknown reason to an unknown place, but it is common belief that he traveled the world and even had a few adventures in Juratha.

Return of the Could-Be King
Viro rolled into town on no more than a whisper some 3 years ago. Those who were closest to him in his initial departure were not even aware of his return. Eventually, he opened Viro's and kept his afairs private and out of local politics. Something had definitely changed in him aside from his obvious aging. He seemed more wise and understanding, but as sharp as ever and far more cunning.
