'''Viggora''' was once a powerful and vicious [[human]] warrior who followed [[Zamorak]], who, at the time of Viggora's life, in the late [[Second Age]], was a [[Mahjarrat]] general serving under the Empty Lord, the god [[Zaros]]. Nowadays, Viggora wanders as a cursed spirit; an invisible [[ghost]] who cannot be seen or heard, save for those who possess enchanted jewellery such as the [[Ring of Visibility]], which can be obtained before completing the [[Shadow diamond]] section of the [[Desert Treasure]] quest. Viggora is the final [[NPC]] that players must speak to in the [[Ghostly robes (miniquest)|Ghostly Robes]] [[miniquest]], and explains much of the story of [[Zamorak]]'s betrayal of [[Zaros]].

== Background ==

Viggora was, for much of his early life, a warrior, and claims that "I had little interest in gods and their [[magic]]ks, and certainly didn't respect them." But, all the same, found himself involved with the forces of [[Zaros]], a powerful deity who had come to much power during the Second Age, known as the Age of [[Gods]]. Viggora was a close companion of Zamorak, an esteemed member of the tribe called [[Mahjarrat]], a mysterious race of shapeshifting mages that Zaros had freed from the desert god [[Icthlarin]], who had brought the Mahjarrat to [[Gielinor]] from their native plane of [[Freneskae]].

Viggora was something of an abnormality in the close-knit ranks of Zamorak's ever-growing followers, given that he was a human. At the time of Zamorak's betrayal, the majority of his followers, or at least his closest warriors, were either [[Mahjarrat]], [[Vampyres]], [[Demons]] and [[Dragon Riders]]. Viggora remembers with pride that he was considered equal to the other magical races that made up the bulk of the army, and says "I remember [[Lucien]], who struggled to lift a blade.", and believes that in some ways he was even more powerful than them.

=== Involvement in the Betrayal ===

Once the [[Staff of Armadyl]] had passed into the possession of Zamorak, through a series of events involving the other cursed ghosts ([[Valdez]], [[Rennard]], [[Kharrim]], [[Lennissa]] and [[Dhalak]]), Zamorak and his most trusted generals (namely [[Hazeel]], Viggora, [[Lord Drakan|Drakan]], [[Thammaron]], and [[Zemouregal]]) went forward to Zaros' castle, under the pretense that they were there to discuss battle plans, and there they engaged Zaros in battle. Viggora and the others kept his legion of bodyguards, for whom they were more than a match, at bay while Zamorak flanked Zaros and plunged the Staff of Armadyl into his back. This enraged and weakened Zaros, but did not kill him, and he retaliated, managing to impale Zamorak upon the Staff along with himself. After this, Zaros faded away, cursing all who had aided in the Betrayal, including Viggora, and Zamorak eventually attained [[God]]hood, which later led to the [[Godwars]] and the [[Third Age]].

Viggora can be found at the following locations:
* [[Rogue's Castle]], on the {{FloorNumber|2}}.
* [[Slayer Tower]], on the {{FloorNumber|2}}.
* [[Edgeville Dungeon]], in the [[Wilderness]] section.

== Trivia ==

* Viggora seems, in appearance and title, to be similar to [[Vannaka]], the [[Slayer Master]] who is often referred to as the "Greatest swordsman alive."
* If you visit Viggora in Rogues Castle without a [[Ghostspeak amulet]] and try to speak to him about the Ghostly Robes, you will say "All Your Base Are Belong To Us", a popular internet meme from several years ago.
*Although difficult to see, he appears to be wearing an [[Iron platebody]] and [[Iron platelegs|platelegs]], [[Green d'hide vambraces]] and some sort of [[cape]].
