Vanis, a man in his late thirties, carries the weight of his past with a stoic demeanor that belies his inner turmoil. As a former judge in his home kingdom, his life was once governed by the strictures of law and order, a reflection of his lawful neutral alignment. His dark hair, streaked with premature gray, is kept short and practical, much like the robes he once wore in the courtroom, now replaced by the hardened leather armor of a dragon rider. His eyes, a piercing blue, reflect a depth of experience and a yearning for the justice he once dispensed with an unwavering hand.

The upheaval of his homeland by rebels from a rival kingdom thrust Vanis into a world of chaos. Narrowly escaping execution, he found himself adrift, his life's purpose shattered. It was during this time of wandering that fate intervened. Vanis stumbled upon a group of hunters capturing a young dragon, an opal ice dragon named Avilon. Driven by a deep-seated sense of justice, Vanis intervened, driving the hunters away and nursing Avilon back to health. This act of compassion forged a bond between man and beast, giving Vanis a new purpose as a dragon rider and an order domain cleric, dedicated to restoring balance.

Vanis's unique quirk is his habit of reciting legal maxims under his breath, a remnant of his past life that surfaces in moments of stress or contemplation. His journey is one of redemption and the search for a new order in a world that has forsaken the old. The conflicts in his life are manifold: the struggle to reconcile his past with his present, the quest to find a place for himself and Avilon in a world that has changed, and the ongoing battle against those who would disrupt the balance he seeks to restore. Through his bond with Avilon and his unwavering commitment to justice, Vanis navigates the complexities of his new life, always striving to impose order upon the chaos that surrounds him.
