Vander Stillhawk



Vander Stillhawk is an Human Fighter, who is a major character in the realm of Tethyr. He was a companion of Queen Zaranda Star before her ascension to the thrown.

Vander is tall and spare with long muscles that seem to have been carved of oak and then weathered dark. He is handsome in a heavy-browed brooding way, with long black hair, a broad jaw and ever-present stubble.

The fighter was raised by elves and carries an elven bow. The elves not only trained him in use of the bow, but also in elven hand signals. Vander does not speak,as he lost his tongue to orcish raiders when he was a boy, but rather he communicates through these hand signals.

Vander has attained several high positions in the court of Tethyr boasting many titles: Monarch's Champion, Regent of Prince Coran Rhindaum, and Leader of the Warriors of the Star. The former title places him in charge of the Monarchs' safety as the Warriors are the personal guard of Queen Zaranda Star and King Haedrak III.
