Biography

Born in the region of Beresgond as the second son to Sir Jannik of House Yldon, a minor House of the region, and his wife Lady Carla of House Bainsworth, Vandrik grew up at the seat of his family, Donnéal Keep. His talents became apparent quite early on, and so it was no great surprise he was to become a knight. He was accepted as a squire at the age of 6 and so from that time lived with the garrison instead of with his family. He was rather exceptional as a squire and so was allowed to take his Rite of Passage at 18, which he passed. He then served as a knight regular, frequently travelling to the north to fight bandits or being summoned away as part of larger war parties.

Vandrik was among those picked for the delegation that was sent to the Isles in April 675, and thus he was able to take part in the Knight's Tourney - and emerged as the winner!

The prize is the hand of the fair young Lady Imma Grunhaid, which will turn him into a husband, a member of her House (according to Isles laws and customs), and thereby a subject of the Queen of the Isles. Originally, there was a twist to this situation, but it has since been changed once again.

Personality

Vandrik is very serious most of the time. His moods tend more towards the severe than the serene and he does have a bit of a temper. However, he keeps himself under control and is not one to shout unless he is sorely vexed. As well, violence is always his last resort, and while he may be quick to argue, he is not quick to fight. However, he knows that he has a temper and he tries to keep it reigned in. Even when he's angry, he tries to be rational, and is quick to apologize when he is wrong. He is very humble in his actions, but has an incredibly strong sense of pride and determination because he has had to work for every ounce of recognition he has ever received. However, if you can get past his cold exterior or catch him in one of his rare good moods, he is funny, playful, and good to be around. It's just unfortunate that these moments are as infrequent as they are

Appearance

Slightly taller than your average knight, Vandrik Yldon stands just a shade over 6' tall. He has sandy-blonde hair that is not often to be well-kempt, instead typically falling haphazardly to nearly his shoulders. He has light blue eyes set below firm brows, with a thin nose perfectly resting above broad lips. His facial expressions tend towards the severe, though his eyes do allow him to show much softer expressions when the mood strikes him. His complexion is fair, and while his face still holds some of the softness of youth, he is clearly an adult; though it was likely a more recent transition than not. While thinner than one might expect of a knight, Vandrik appears to be in excellent shape. He carries himself quite well, light and quick on his feet, even when wearing the chainmail that typically adorns his torso. When not dressed for combat, a dark tunic usually accompanies dark leggings. He is rarely seen wearing anything but his long boots upon his feet, which are well-worn and permanently stained from wear, even when polished.
