Mage
You are the frailest hero in the roster, so one missed nova or meteor can crash your health from full to nearly dead in a single floor.
Inflicts:
Stunned
Burning
Poisoned
Legacy
Vaelgor, the Traitor Flame (Demon)
Vaelgor ruled the deep places until the dungeon devoured his own dominion, so he climbed toward the light and offered the mortal realms a pact of fire. The champions never trusted him, and he still burned deeper into the dark than any of them. Reborn in his legacy, you will wield the enemy of your enemy, and be feared as he was.
Fragments
The Dominion Eaten
Vaelgor ruled halls of black glass and quiet fire long before any dungeon existed to swallow them, and he remembers the exact night the floor began sinking, slow as a held breath, while his own subjects kept sleeping under a ceiling that was already someone else's mouth.
Defeat the first boss of the descent to unlock this.
A Pact of Fire
He offered the mortal champions his fire freely, and every one of them took it and thanked him with a blade kept ready at his back. He never blamed them for it. A demon offering help to men who had buried demons in their scripture for a thousand years was always going to be trusted last and used first.
Reach floor 30 to unlock this.
Past the Ice
He went deeper than any of the other five, past the Undead Halls, past a frozen world that was not even his enemies' to begin with, chasing a theory he never spoke aloud, that whatever was eating everything below him was not a monster waiting at the bottom, but something already wrapped around all of it.

What Waits at the Depths
At the Molten Depths he finally saw it plainly, the fire god chained there did not guard a door to something worse. It was standing inside the thing itself, the way a coal sits inside a flame. Vaelgor understood, in that instant, that there had never been a floor left to reach. Only deeper rooms in the same throat.
