Vilk Vendrovki's page

Vilk was born on the back of a caravan. Who his true parents were is not known, beyond much more than they were thought to be sailors on leave. An ill-humored Varisian human that went by the name Charofnik found the orphaned half-elf and made him his own. The burly human was caravan master, so he tried to remain neutral, but in order to keep the other travelers in line he made sure it was known his word was absolute. He saw only for Vilk's basic needs, even though Charofnik was rather wealthy from his years of travel. He wore his wealth around his neck in form of a large ruby medallion. He never showed open affection for the boy either and often would side with others against the boy so as not to look as if he was guilty of favoritism. Vilk grew to dislike his caregiver's lack of compassion for him. He took to spending all of his time on the lead wagon, finding use for himself as his keen eyes could easily spot for trouble. His talents proved worthwhile enough to earn him a job as scout, eventually also encompassing guard duties. Many potential hazards were avoided by the lad's sharpened senses. His acute perception allowed the wagon fleet time to circle together to form a strategic defense which was most often enough to discourage hostile bandits, marauding barbarian hordes and random beast attacks.
By chance, Vilk's fate was altered the day a small group of adventurers came to the caravan bartering passage to the nearest city. The adventurers were a scurrilous band consisting of a human freebooter, an oafish human brute and elf magician, though the lot of them had a duplicitous aura about them. The group was escorting a half-orc in chains to the nearest city, they said, to collect the bounty on her head for crimes against some Chellish nobility. Vilk was tasked to give them rations and wine in exchange for the coin they offered to Charofnik. The adventurers drank deep of the proffered wine. Not long after, the group took turn making sport of the half-elf. However, when time came to give the prisoner her supper she offered Vilk something he'd rarely seen: compassion. They talked frequently over the next few days, always long after the caravan slept and the adventurers were sleeping off their cups.
On the fifth day of traveling, the proud Charofnik awoke to find his prize necklace missing. Boiling over with rage, the wagon master demanded to know if Vilk had observed anything out of the ordinary the following night. Vilk mentioned that he had not noticed anything odd. Suddenly, the young man remembered that it DID seem strange that the recent additions to the caravan had been awake and boasting about a recent "score". Furious as a two-headed troll with no a~!#@@##, the brash Varisian marched up to the scruffy band of adventurers and demanded they turn out their pockets. As sure as the grass grows on the plains, the jewelry was on their person. A heated volley of shouting was immediately followed by Charofnik lying dead on the ground. Without a moment to realize what transpired, the rest of the caravan frenzied into a vicious mob and made short work of the murderous thugs. Amidst the confusion, a half-elf and half-orc slipped quietly away into the tall grasses.
Many years later, wild haired half-elf, charter in hand, heeds the call of the Swordlords of Restov...

Though perceived as humorless and grim upon first glance, Vilk can be very likable when the around those he trusts. He tends to stay aloof around humans and elves. The past still leaves a bitter taste in his mouth, thus he keeps himself back emotionally from members of these races until they prove their worth to him. He gets along famously with half-orcs and always approaches them before all others in a group. He is also quite fond of the littler folk too.
