Vir'Bren

Vir'Bren serve as generals to the lesser Vir, and were likely people of importance in Plyth's army before they became Vir. We now know that there are five in total. Brink's first known encounter with a Vir of this echelon was during E4, during the battle with Haaskat near the notifier flowers. The later discovery of the scout's notes identified Haaskat by name and by sketch, and labeled it as one of the Vir'Bren, indicating that there were more.

As with all Vir, the Vir'Bren regenerate once destroyed. They do this by means of a Grove, and are capable of returning with extreme rapidity when their Grove is near. This is accomplished by means of the Vir Phylactery buried in the heart of the Grove.

Vir'Bren are capable of commanding lesser Vir, and in combat are incredibly dangerous. Though they seem to share the same basic weaknesses and resistances as other Vir, they are far more hardy and possess unique abilities specific to each. These enemies should never be engaged alone, as beside being deadly they are also likely all capable of inflicting the Blight.

Though we have yet to learn whether individual Vir bear names, the Vir'Bren notably do. Further study will be needed into where these names come from, as well as the significance of the Vir's use of the title "Bren" to Cintainn culture.
