Personality: He is intelligent and cunning, but he will too often allow his rage to get the better of him. He will lose his cool and rely on brute force to carry the day.

History: When he was but 8 years old his parents immigrated from the east. His parents died when he was young, and he was unceremoniously dumped in the city orphanage. Vrondiss grew up in the orphanage, tormented by the older kids and famished from lack of food. To avoid death by starvation, most orphans take to a life of crime or prostitution (often both), and so did Vrondiss. He would ruin relationships and cause injury. He was reprimanded several times before being given his current form and forced to learn humility.
