Personality: He is inclined to make off color jokes and interpret anything that could be construed as such as innuendo. He is lazy, self-centered, vain, and jealous.

History: He was born on a small isolated farm. When he was little, his rather wealthy family often ventured across the mountains to a summer home near a ruined castle. He would wander through that ruined castle and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and he was stranded inside. His family spent the next few days looking for him, and could only assume he was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the mountains due to the painful memories there. Vanuath took refuge in the ruined castle and found the beat up longsword and armor he uses now. He has set out to sabotage the competition.
