Character Name: Valindor Rishka
Gender: Male (Vampire)
Job/Role: Hired assassin, vagrant.
Age: 21
General Appearance:
Current Goal/Purpose: He simply moves around and does what he likes - However, for now he wishes to help the Blademaster and her mistress take back the throne. Apparently, he does it because he wants a challenge.
General Personality:
Valindor is not a social person, but to the very few that know him they find him quite mad. Sometimes he is overly emotional - A simple trigger, such as the death of an innocent can send him into a bloodthirsty, blind rampage that leaves an ominous trail of bodies behind. Sometimes he is as calm as the water of a still lake - Cold, calculating, cutting you down with methodical, robotic efficiency that somewhat dehumanizes him.
He likes to keep everything to himself, usually, to the point where there is no way to tell if he is lying to you or not. No one knows about him - And to those that survived an encounter they leave with conflicting facts. Some claims that he told them that he was a demon, some claims that he told that he was just, human. No one knows the truth.
He strides along, teetering on the thin line between a hero and a villain. He picks and chooses the mercenary contracts offered carefully - One, he only kills those who have in one way or another, harmed others. Two, he only kills those who may provide a challenge to him. Three, he will kill you if he doesn't like you. However, on some occasions Valindor has been seen fighting on the side of justice, pulling off muggers - Although he punishes them. Those that are lucky die quick. Those that are unlucky are maimed for life, and left for dead by him.
General History:
The vampires. They found him floating on a basket, carried by a river stream down the forest. They took him in. They made him one of their own. They trained him in their arts - How to move silently in the dark, how to hunt your prey, how to escape detection and lastly, how to kill in any way - Whether to do so quickly, silently, or slowly and painfully. The years passed and he drifted away from his 'coven' - Even those that made him could feel no connection to him, and that was his nature.
He ventured out into the world, and he survived. He made a name for himself, for being one of the best manhunters in the land. If you need someone killed, Valindor is the man you hire - But the service of the best assassin around comes with a risk. Those that he disliked when they seeked him out, he killed on the spot. From the start, Valindor had made it clear that he wasn't into the business about the money. He just liked the challenge. He just liked to kill.
Over the years he traveled from place to place, even going into the heart of the enigmatic Eastern Lands once - They interested him, after all. He found himself similar to the place. No one really knew what they were, who they were, what they wanted. He found it amusing.
Then, he heard about the coup. The news had made him smile - This was something that piqued his interest so greatly that he simply could not ignore it. He would find this Queen, and her Blademaster. He will help them. And then he will decide what he will do with them.
Note:
In terms of abilities, Valindor is skilled in the usage of knives, swords, crossbows and bears an extensive knowledge in terms of herbology - Though mainly in the field of poison making. His vampiric attributes allow him greater stealth and speed in the night over day, making him a truly feared being in the dark.
