Remus Vatalis I

Overview
Lord Remus Vatalis I, commonly known as Remus the Wrathful, is one of the most controversial historical figures of Moros. Remus the Wrathful founded both House Vatalis, and the religion known as the Divinity of Eternus. Born in the Outer Reach of Moros, Remus spent his early adult life as a surgeon. However, during the Age of the Forsaken, Remus turned towards the worship of a God known as Eternus, in hopes of receiving guidance over the Red Scourge. After much time and devotion, the doctor-turned-cleric approached the populace of Outer Reach, and proclaimed that a great sacrifice would ensure salvation across Moros. In doing so, Remus is believed to have banished the Red Scourge across the entire continent.

Of course, his actions did not come without consequences, as the Morosian people were ordered to genocide those that carried the disease. Even the innocent were held accountable, if suspected of bearing such an affliction. In the eyes of Remus and the weary, their actions were justified and merely inevitable.

To this day, House Vatalis defends Remus's actions, believing it to have been the only way of ridding Moros from the Red Scourge. Opinions regarding Remus the Wrathful vary across Moros, with many Kingdoms either honoring or despising the Eternal King.
