Not much is covered about this man's life in the history books of Arcavaros, though it's said he was a mercenary born and bred in the blackened volcanic wastes of Rakhaia (later named Rahka), who met an untimely fate.

His story takes place millennia before the events of the novel, where his three older brothers drag him into the black market as conmen, and then as a stowaway. When he finds himself paid far more handsomely for his sword and his loyalty, he receives an honorary rank in Nysmdra's army, where he'll fight alongside the future warrior queen of the desert...

Much to his brothers' disgust.

This man's story is not part of the novel, though what became of Vanaadri is revealed within it.

Age: Never written, though historians suppose he can be no older than 30.

Vanaadri's brothers do not consider him intelligent, though he shows a thoughtful side when alone. Nysmdra nicknames him Ironbear for the inhuman feats he displayed in the Third Battle of Retribution.

Enjoys the "raw side" of nature, though is quite vocal that he dislikes flowers. He's happy to sing along to his brother Rhek's ridiculous songs.

I'll produce a full colour version in the days to come. Drawn with a Zig graphics pen on paper; edited with some random-ass texture filter on Rookie. And yes, I'll finally draw a female some time. xD
