Vyraz

Margrave Vyraz is the self-proclaimed ruler of the House of the Chosen in Maldraxxus. Formerly known as Baron Vyraz, he served under Margrave Krexus as one of the house's two barons, but later revealed himself to be a traitor working with the House of Constructs and House of Rituals, killed Krexus, and took control of the house.

Biography
As a baron of the Chosen, Vyraz earned countless victories for Maldraxxus, but he was long secretly in league with the House of Constructs and House of Rituals. At some point he betrayed his fellow baron Alexandros Mograine and trapped him in the Maw, but he kept up appearances with the Chosen and continued to serve alongside Mograine's replacement, Baroness Draka.

After the Maw Walker arrived at the House of the Chosen, Draka sent them to report to Vyraz and prepare for war with the rival houses. Vyraz tasked the Maw Walker with rooting out spies among the Chosen ranks and deliver orders to Head Summoner Perex, Drill Sergeant Telice, and Secutor Mevix. After the Maw Walker obtained a runeblade with runes corresponding to those on the Seat of the Primus, Margrave Krexus sent the outsider, Draka, and Vyraz to investigate the Seat. The blade proved to be a key to the fortress, but Vyraz insisted that unlocking the Seat wouldn't do the Chosen any good if they lost the war against the other houses. He told the Maw Walker to report to him at the Spearhead, where the Chosen were mounting a defense against the House of Constructs' vanguard. Vyraz advocated for a reckless full-scale assault on the Constructs, claiming that the sacrifice of Chosen soldiers was the price of victory. The Maw Walker and Secutor Mevix managed to push back the constructs and secure a forward position, after which Vyraz ordered them to launch a direct attack on the Constructs' stronghold, ignoring Mevix's protests that they needed more reinforcements. The subsequent attack resulted in most of the Chosen forces being killed and Mevix and the Maw Walker getting captured, but they later managed to fight their way out and return to the Seat of the Primus.

While Draka and the Maw Walker were away, Vyraz worked with the House of Constructs to launch a fierce attack on the House of the Chosen and kill Margrave Krexus. When Draka and the hero returned, he blamed the attack on the Constructs. Draka argued that the Chosen now had to open the Seat of the Primus if they were to have any hope of victory, but Vyraz insisted that the Seat was a fool's errand and that the Chosen instead had to gather their mightiest soldiers. He sent the Maw Walker to rescue the missing Alexandros Mograine from the Maw, believing that the hero wouldn't survive the journey. The Maw Walker defied the baron's expectations by successfully rescuing Mograine, who revealed that Vyraz was a traitor. While Draka returned to the Seat of the Primus to warn their allies, Alexandros and the hero returned to the House of the Chosen to confront Vyraz, an act which ignited the final rune on the Maw Walker's blade. When Vyraz emerged, he declared that he claimed the mantle of margrave and that he would take the runeblade from the hero's corpse. Vyraz and his guards began overpowering Alexandros and the hero, but Draka interrupted the battle to bring her two allies to defend the Seat of the Primus from the Constructs and Vyraz's Chosen forces. The Maw Walker used the completed runeblade to open the door into the Seat and cause the Primus' power to cut a swath of destruction through Vyraz's forces, forcing them to retreat.

However, although the Maw Walker's allies won the battle, Vyraz remained in control of most of the Chosen. Now known as Margrave Vyraz, he later observed the fighting in the Theater of Pain alongside Margrave Sin'dane and Margrave Gharmal. After the defeat of Kel'Thuzad—the original instigator of Maldraxxus' unrest—Alexandros reminded his Necrolord allies that Vyraz still had to answer for his treachery.
