Victario Nevalius, also known as the People's Poet or just Victario, is a historical figure of the Wraeclast. Killed during the Cataclysm, he was an instrumental supporter of the Purity Rebellion. He has no in-game depictions.
Lore
Victario was a Sarn poet, a key supporter of the Purity Rebellion and killed during The Cataclysm. Staying true to his title ("the People's Poet), Victario encouraged the Sarn masses to rise up and take action against the questionable actions of their emperor Chitus and his thaumaturge Malachai.
The Ancient Graffiti scattered around Sarn were presumably written by Victario before the Purity Rebellion. He dubs Emperor Chitus the "Monkey King". Victario calls the gemling legionaries and virtue "an infestation" and "treacherous", calling upon the citizens of Sarn to rise up to kill the legionaries and abolish the gems.
In 1333 IC, Victario supported the Purity Rebellion led by High Templar Voll, along with Kastov, Lord Mayor Ondar, Archbishop Geofri and Commander Adus. Victario wrote letters to Thane Rigwald of Ezomyr, seeking assistance for the the Purity Rebellion. This led to the Ezomytes, in 1333 IC, rising up against Governor Gaius Sentari in the fields of Glarryn in an event known as the "Bloody Flowers' Rebellion". Despite heavy Ezomyr casualties, Gaius Sentari was forced to flee to Sarn for reinforcements.
In 1334 IC, Victario led uprisings in the Slums, Docks, and Warehouse districts as Voll laid seige to Sarn. Cadiro Perandus was forced to surrender Sarn to Voll's forces.
At an unknown period, Victario stole the Bust of Gaius Sentari, Bust of Hector Titucius, and Bust of Marceus Lioneye and stashed them in the Sewers. The exile is tasked by Hargan to retrieve them and return them to him for a reward in the quest Victario's Secrets.
After the Purity Rebellion, he had a child with Queen Hyrri Ngamaku, a girl named Ahuana. Ahuana claims she never met Victario and that he remained in Sarn during the Cataclysm, and believes he died there.
In present in-game timeline, unlike Voll, Ondar, Geofri and Adus, neither Victario nor Kastov turned into the undead or a ghost.
Origins Comic Books
Victario is the subject of the Path of Exile Digital Comic: Origins books 1-4. They detail his journey through accompanying Voll to Ngamakanui to his eventual death at the hands of the Cataclysm.
Origins: The Karui Way (Book 1)
4 years before the Cataclysm, Vicario accompanies Voll on a visit to Ngamakanui, the homeland of the Karui. They observe Kaom, king of the Karui defeat Akayo in ritualistic battle. Victario and Hyrri, Kaom's niece, exchange glances. The purpose of their trip is to beg of Kaom's assistance in the Purity Rebellion - they want Kaom to lay siege to the gemling Marceus Lioneye at Lioneye's Watch.
Victario meets and introduces himself to Hyrri. At this point, Victario is already world-renowned poet whose words have travelled across the globe. They speak of Karui tradition and the upcoming battle.
At the dinner table, Voll warns Kaom of Lioneye's exceptional archery abilities. He advises Kaom to use archers of his own, only for Kaom to soundly reject him, stating Karui tradition forbade from using projectile weapons. That night, the night before the siege, Voll sails away to deal with other affairs and Victario dreams of a plan.
On the night of the battle, Kaom and his canoes row under the cover of night to avoid detection. However, Lioneye and his men are prepared, and meet the attack with a barrage of flaming arrows. The arrows destroy Kaom's canoes and remove the option of a retreat. Cognizant of the Karui traditions forbidding men from using bows, Lioneye and his men rush forwards, casting aside their shields to catch the Karui before they escape.
Suddenly, Hyrri and a group of woman appear from the crest of a hill. The wield bows and unleash a barrage of arrows upon Lioneye's men, decimating the shieldless soldiers. Enraged, Kaom seizes Victario's throat, blaming him for dishonouring "the Way". Victario explains that the tradition forbidden men from killing "another man at a distance" did not include women, so Hyrri's actions technically did not break tradition. At Lavianga's advice, Kaom spares Victario's life.
Kaom goes on to slaughter every member of the Eternal outpost. As he does, Hyrri gives him a kiss - "not passionately, but a kiss goodbye".
Origins: Sons of Virtue (Book 2)
3 years before the Cataclysm, in Phrecia, Victario rides in a carriage with Lady Dialla and Malachai, the emperor's thaumaturgist. Dialla refers to a published story of his, "The Blackest Monkey". When asked about his inspiration for his storytelling, he tells Dialla that he writes what he sees. He says this while looking at Malachai, suggesting that Malachai was the true subject of his story.
They arrive at The Chamber of Sins and are greeted by the thaumaturgist Inquisitor Maligaro and his assistant Raulo. Maligaro shows in a poison, concocted with the combination of Black Death's venoms and the

, claiming it to be powerful enough to kill "the most powerful Gemling".
In front of Victario and Dialla, Maligaro injects Raulo with the "extracted essence" of a virtue gem, transforming him into Fidelitas. Later he listens of Chitus' plan of creating a "gemling thaumatocracy".
Later that night, Victario sneaks out to Phrecia Cathedral, using the code phrase "Death to Sin" and the sign of templar descry on his palm to enter. He tells Geofri, the archbishop of Maligaro's experiments and Chitus' plans. Victario and a group of templars travel to the Chamber of Sins to destroy Maligaro's research and materials. Victario stashes away the Black Venom for future use. However, they are ambushed by Fidelitas and Malachai, who reveals that Victario had been under "thaumaturgical observation" since he had arrived. After capturing Victario prisoner and killing the templar squadron, Malachai and Maligaro's monstrosities travel to Phrecia Citadel and kill Geofri.
In the chaos of the attack, Victario pleads to Dialla to free him, in whom he had seen sympathy. Dialla unbinds and tells him to slash her face with a shard of glass to fake his escape. Victario escapes to the sea.
