Appearance: Vander is a fairly handsome man, with a carved physique, and noble stature. His dark brown hair is short and curly, with a finely trimmed beard covering his face. His eyes are captivating and always alert, though there is a bit of sadness behind them if you look deep enough. His armor is well cared for, but not the finery you might expect from a house noble. However, there is a noble air to him that escapes definition. Armed and ready, his is an imposing figure for an opponent to find in his path.
Background: Vander d‘Deneith was a Deneith house favorite long before his dragonmark surfaced. Being the 7th son of the wealthy and influential Baron Corin d’Deneith, Vander was often left to the care of others, and rarely spent time with his father. Perhaps Corin blamed Vander for his wife’s death, as she died during Vander’s birth. Vander’s older brothers reveled in the power and influence that their status and wealth gave them, and they played up their status as much as possible. They would often put servants in awkward positions, or make them do ridiculous things. Others in the House saw this lack of discipline and grew to generally dislike the elder sons.
Vander, however, spent a lot of time with the servants, and saw the humiliation and strain that was thrust upon them. He refused to play upon his power, and as a result was often viewed with favor among the servants and respect among the House. The elder sons saw this and would often do what they could to keep Vander from view. Eventually, many in the house knew of Vander, but few had ever met him.
Vander spent a lot of time working on his skills, often due to “Bogus” training exercises concocted by his older brothers to keep him out of sight. He trained with his father’s steward, Sir Garret Bender, in the ways of war, diplomacy and the ways of the court, and many of the servants in the ways of the outside of court. As he and his brothers grew older, Corin began to rely on the elder sons more, and relegated Garret to a more custodial role with his estate. Garret continued to spend time with Vander, and Vander regarded Garret as much as a father as a guide.
On his 16th birthday, Vander’s dragonmark manifested. This brought him some attention that none of his brothers had gotten, and Corin took a more personal interest in the doings of his youngest son. He saw his son blossoming into a truly noble character, and continued to let Garret and the estate servants take an active role in Vander’s upbringing. However, he made sure to bring Vander to several social functions despite the brother’s best attempts to keep him out. Vander made quite the impression in the House, and quickly became the favored son as far as many of the other nobles of the House were concerned.
Things changed drastically on his 18th Birthday. Just prior to the celebration, a changeling assassin killed Corin. The assassin was quickly dispatched, but there was no clue as to who had hired it nor why. When going to see Garret, he overhead his eldest brother Sorin speaking to him. Garret was informing Sorin that Corin had willed the estate to Vander. Enraged by this, Sorin killed Garret, made it look like the assassin had done it earlier, and then destroyed the will. Vander, fearing he was next, quickly used a house connection to flee the estate.
Since that day, Vander has worked for the Houses Defender’s guild, keeping a fairly low profile. He has been able to use his connections to keep his activities in the guild fairly quiet, but he has an exemplary record of performance, and is well known for his nobility in word and deed. He has spent much of his days looking over his shoulder in fear of an unknown assassin, and he continues to look to find out why his father was killed when he was. It has been four years since Vander left his home, and nearly as long since the war ended.

On a side note, Vander is likely to want to try to aquire Mithril Full Plate. Any chance I could have used a house favor to aquire it at a discount (I will rework gear if needed)? If not, he'll likely be looking for it in game.
FYI, this would be his only Pre-game use of the feat. Mithral Full Plate normaly costs 10,500 gp, and simply weighs half as much, allows 2 more max dex (not an issue at the moment) and removes 3 poins of the armor mod. Makes him a bit more moble, which is something he values.
Might also be interested in a Magebread Warhorse (extra 400 GP). Obviously, this is much cheaper.
Edited: Bought gear (Assuming no Mithril Full Plate). Should be ready for full aproval. Moving background into character sheet (Which will move to a character thread as needed). Added a time reference and space for GM to fill in any little filler he wants. Fixed Initiative, tweeked gear, added house favor use wishlist.
Edit: Fixed HP, other math. Moved skill math out of sheet.
Edit: Added appearance, fixed a few more math mistakes, should be all done.
