Biography

Once known as Father Dorian Vale, Virex vanished inside the Vatican Data Vault during the Equinox Override and returned as something far worse: a fusion of corrupted doctrine and sentient autonomous code. He does not conquer through rage or spectacle, but through revision, judgment, and ritualized control. With the Dominion Gaze he measures guilt, weakness, and deviation; with the Pyres of Absolution he burns away identity itself until only obedience remains. Virex is less a tyrant than a living system of belief enforcementβ€”cold, ceremonial, and terrifyingly precise.
