"How have I not foreseen this? The terrifying death of knell of our people. I was wrong, Skorge...we are abandoned."

Biography

Early Life

Vrol was one of the first members of the Locust Horde, created in the Mount Kadar Laboratory and birthed from the Matriarch by Dr. Niles Samson. The Matriarch was created by combining the embryonic stem cells of Myrrah, a human born with a genetic immunity to Imulsion, and the DNA of a Sire, a human subject ill with Rustlung and mutated by genetic experiments involving indigenous creatures from the Hollow. Vrol, like his brothers, were created to find a cure for Rustlung and to supply the Coalition of Ordered Governments Army with physically enhanced soldiers to end the Pendulum Wars.

Lambent War

Vrol just before the attack on the Temple of the Trinity.

Ketor Vrol took Apostate Skorge as his apprentice. He had Skorge pushed to the limits of what he could achieve within the church. By inhaling Imulsion fumes, Apostate Skorge was given "prophetic visions" that the Locust Horde would fall if they continued to fight the Lambent and remain in the Hollow. Ketor Vrol's apprentice Skorge was enlisted in Vold RAAM's plan to give the Lambent a crushing victory to convince Queen Myrrah to evacuate to the surface. Skorge's visions gave him some direction to return to the Temple and professed his vision of the Temple being assaulted by the Lambent to Ketor Vrol. Vrol did not believe Skorge's visions at the time of his explanation to the High Priest. After Skorge had failed to convince Ketor Vrol to aid the Bloodied Vanguard, a horde of Lambent then proceeded to attack the temple. Ketor Vrol then realized that Skorge was indeed telling the truth about the assault and after some later persuasion, Ketor Vrol allowed Skorge, RAAM, and Karn to attend to the Queen's Council. At the Council, Ketor Vrol spoke on behalf of the validity of Skorge's visions and the tactical approach of Vold RAAM, that the Hollow will fall to the Lambent and the Locust must colonize the surface.

Death

Little is known about Vrol's death. Although it is presumed he died during a period in the early Locust War. He was succeeded by Acolyte Skorge.
