Left Vanils life before he was old enough to remember her. His father would always tell tales of what a wonderful and beautiful person she was and they would together wish for her safety every night.Religious Views
Even though he isn't the most devoted to The Fate, Vanil has a special connection to the god of death Nave, as he is the patron god to his father's family. He was thought about the god's gentle nature and how not to fear the face of death.
Wealth & Financial state
With his father being the village's carpenter, Vanil didn't grow up with the most wealth in the world but enough to live comfortably.
But now being an adventurer he has gathered more wealth than he could ever dream of. Not that he is using it for anything.
A somewhat unusual half-elf youth with a thirst for adventure. Though claiming to be looking for his mother, his attitude to the quest is rather lax.
