Since our last article on the design and lore considerations behind some of our companion cosmetics tied to Supporter Packs, some of you have expressed an interest in reading more about such insights. Thus, we return, this time to discuss another companion’s alternative attire. And that companion is none other than Vorax, everyone’s favorite, annoying Undead cook.

So what would Vorax wear should you choose to support us by picking up one of these packs?

For the ‘Ruinous’ Supporter Pack, Vorax’s appearance was based on a member of the Hollow Men, a scavenger gang of deserters, criminals, and renegades in self-imposed exile at the Mountains of Fire. These brooding warriors hide their faces behind masks of scrap metal fashioned (in fact, hammered onto statue heads) to lend them an inscrutable and threatening visage. These headgears are often the only armor these people wear apart from simple loincloths, for they fight in a phalanx not unlike that of ancient Daromarian warriors. Vorax, well, let’s say tries to mimic this appearance with his own cosmetic look in this Supporter Pack. You could say he’s half-successful. One can imagine Vorax having wandered to the end of the world, into the hellscape of Dvendar Tharr, joining the Hollow Men out of pity, intent on raising their spirits with his cooking. He’s just that kind of guy.

For the ‘Cultured’ Supporter Pack, we leaned into some pretty obscure lore as inspiration. The idea was that Vorax is an Undead, which is usually a sort of thrall, albeit he has no master. so we looked for other enslaved creatures and cultures for inspiration, and we found the Quaren. They are a strange race of humanoids whose Realms were conquered by the Damned, the legion of Demonkind that rampages across many worlds. They were subsequently tainted by Demonic blood and embedded with cursed crystals, turning them into red-skinned hulks, lending them uncanny might and durability when enraged. Although Vorax is more akin to a Demonic thrall and not an Undead with this cosmetic, we thought it’s an interesting “what if” look for him. Perhaps, in another life, he underwent the mutations to become a Quaren reaver and not brought back as an accursed Undead.

To be able to change Vorax’s appearance, you have to own the appropriate Supporter Pack, but otherwise, he is free for all owners of Vagrus (the base game) after he’s found in the main campaign area.

As always, we are grateful for all the support, feedback, and kindness we receive from you all. Until next time, keep being awesome, stay safe, and conquer the wasteland!
