Stop hand

Lord Viren (simply known as Viren) is one of the main antagonists of the hit Netflix series The Dragon Prince. He is the High Mage of Katolis, an adviser of King Harrow, and is an expert of dark magic. Knowing that any problem is solvable, he saved kingdoms from threats multiple times, and a good vision for the future of humanity, something he goes out of his way to get.

History

??

Appearance

A tall, pale man, Viren has brown hair with a goatee and grey eyes. He normally wears a grey and black robe with a white walking stick that has a purple gem on the top. 

When the man was consumed by dark magic, his skin becomes greyish in color, and his eyes become fully black with markings surrounding them. 

Abilities

Viren is highly skilled in the art of magic, doing such things as swiping the voice of Prince Callum. The staff he has also enhances his magical ability, making his spells more powerful. He is also an expert in persuading others, as he convinced the citizens of Katolis that elves in Xadia were their foes, and later dropping a small hint to Soren and Claudia about one of his does: getting back the Dragon Prince's egg at all costs.

Despite this, Viren's abilities at manipulation prove inadequate in convincing the Pentarchy, mainly young Queen Aanya, into uniting against Xadia, leaving him fuming with rage. Those wise to him are very capable of seeing through his manipulations as well, such as General Amaya.

Personality

Viren considers himself a pragmatist and believes any problem has a "creative solution" - in this case, using Dark Magic. However, his insistence on using Dark Magic puts him at odds with King Harrow and leads to a rift between them. Though Viren tries to fix this, a misunderstanding leaves the two on bad terms before Harrow's death. However, Viren is still implied to care for his friend, despite trying to have his 2 sons killed. In the past, when trying to save thousands of lives from famine, Viren tried to save the queens of Duren from Thunder the Dragon King at great risk to himself.

Viren is utterly dogmatic in his protection of humanity, to the extent of wishing to see all Xadia destroyed once and for all, even committing treason. However, despite these good intentions, Viren also craves power and has his eyes on the throne of Katolis. It is also implied he harbors insecurities about his abilities and seems himself as useless.
