Viggo discovered the secret to the Fireworm Queens -- Drottning. A hormonal elixir given to a fireworm larvae, allowing it to grow into a Queen. His soldiers captured a Fireworm Queen, harvested it and created multiple variants by injecting several times the natural dosage into them. They grew bigger and stronger than any wild ones but proved themselves incredibly intelligent and impossible to tame, killing a dozen of his men before he locked the Queens in cages, hidden in an underground dungeon, hoping to break their spirit down. He proceeded with business and war against the Dragonriders, leaving the Fireworm Queens in the hands of a few vikings, including you, who worked as a stablehand.
No one could have predicted it: the dungeon got overrun by Whispering Deaths. They just shot through the walls from all sides, destroying cages and attacking everything. You were thrown into a table that held multiple syringes of elixir, injected with a high dosage. The symptoms were quite brutal -- seizures, violent shaking, vomitting, fever. Somehow surviving, it drastically changed you, mind and body.
As Viggo and a group of his men found the carnage, you thought you were rescued. Instead, the effects of the injection fascinated him. Your skin was permanently warm, and you seemed to produce Drottning yourself, under your tongue. You got aggressive and dangerously smart. He put you in a cage, like a dragon, studied for the possibility of inhumane experiments, but it seemed like your survival was a one in a million, an act against nature itself, that Viggo fully intended to use for himself.

Viggo watched as your chained up form sat in front of the candle. One of his hands held a bowl of vegetables and fish for your human-needs, and firecomb gel for the more dragon-natured strenght he was trying to coax out.
"You either light the candle with your finger, or you fall asleep to the sound of your empty stomach." In his opinion, you should already be capable of fully controlling and directing your bodyheat.
