Description: His left side is far more bruised and cut up than his other. He typically wears a sleeveless long coat of deep brown leather and dull pastel iron scale mail. His hair is short and brown.

Personality: He believes there is no problem he cannot solve with sufficient elbow grease and persistence, if it is the best or most economic solution matters not. His respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to him, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, he tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Vondal is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.
