Appearance/Personality:
Vachordi is a tall thin man, with a broad face, and shaved head. His head bears a variety of tribal symbols as a large tattoo. His hair and eyes are dark. He carries a bow in his hand, with a large pack and quiver stuffed with arrows at his hip. He is dressed in leather armor and clothing made from skins and furs, that he has hunted.
Desperately seeking to throw off the impatience of his youth and become a true Wise Man, Vachordi seeks, above all else to listen, and observe everything and everyone before he speaks. He spends most of his time listening to his companions and comparing their words and thoughts to those he hears from the wind.
He speaks in measured tones, using the lessons taught him by the wind and earth to explain himself. He is a healer and friend to all, until they have proven otherwise. He is free with his advice but never offers it until asked.
Backstory:
Vachordi was born into a small, nomadic Shoanti tribe. The eldest son of the chief he was groomed for leadership for the first 18 years of his life. Early on he took to the bow and become one of the most promising hunters of the tribe. While out on a hunting foray he took a detour to follow some goblin tracks, he was caught in a storm. Lightning struck near him launching him through the air and leaving him on the verge of death.
For three days and nights he slept on the brink of death, visions of the lightning, rain, wind and thunder screaming through his mind.
At last he awoke, head throbbing he staggered back to camp, and into the tent of the Wise Man. He told him what had happened. It was then that he learned that he was not destined to lead, but rather to be the next Wise Man.
For the next 6 years he laid aside his bow to learn to heal and read the weather. To sing the tribe's songs, and dance their dances. During these years, only once did he pick up his bow and venture out into the forest. He did not know why but Vachordi was guided by the winds. It was on this foray that he met the Professor. The Professor was studying the nomadic Shoanti tribes of the region when he was attacked by a band of roving goblins. The professor had taken care of them all, but one had remained hidden and as he was prepared to strike the killing blow Vachordi fired, killing it.
The Professor stayed with the tribe for several days trading stories before leaving. Vachordi has not heard from him sense, until the letter. Now an apprentice no more he picks up his bow once more to travel the world, to pay his respects at the funeral and gain the one thing that cannot be taught him. Wisdom. He arrives at the funeral seeking it still.
