Though less modest and more hasty in his reactions to snap at those who irritate him, Vanuath is combative with any and all who dare try his patience in the slightest.

History: He was raised in a white middle class family as the only child. In his 17th year, while out on a day-trip, he returned to find his hometown burning and destroyed.
