Vance Koltrin is a Malkieri Drin of the Grey Tower.

Description

Vance stands at over six feet in height, and with his wide muscular frame it makes him look taller. He has dark grey eyes, his skin is tanned from too many hours under the harsh sun and in the rough elements. There is a scar that runs down the right side of his face, from a Darkfriend dagger, that starts at his hair line and goes down to his jaw, luckily missing his eye. His dark brown hair looks black in certain lights, is long and covers his scar most of the time. His lips are thin, though usually set in a grin that makes him seem friendlier than his frame suggests. He wears the Hadori across his brow. He has a short and well trimmed beard which is as dark as his normal hair.

Vance is fun, and smiley, and always likes to hear both sides to an argument. He likes jokes and jests, dancing and singing (though he knows he is not good at either.) Once he is angered, which takes a while, he is fierce, and he protects those he loves and cares about with a veracity that was known to scare a few men in a near village.

Biography

Vance was born in the city of Maradon, but both his parents were from Malkier. He was brought up on the stories of his homeland, and the rumour that the last King of Malkier lived and would one day return. His Father, once a Solider, rooted down on a farm outside of Maradon, and began to grow different vegetables, and his wife and Vance's mother, become a seamstress. Vance grew up farming and learning how to fight and think like a soldier, waiting for the day when he could follow his lost King into battle. It was a hard childhood, but coming from a loving family helped Vance keep his sense of humour, and his Mother taught him patience and temperance of others.

There was one very bad Shadowspawn attack when he was thirteen, and he fought by his Father’s side. He earned a scar down the side of his face from the dagger of a Darkfriend, though he had managed to kill the woman before she had gotten away to plunge her dagger into his Father’s back.

It was that day that his Father had awarded Vance his hadori, and he has worn it proudly ever since.

When he turned sixteen he asked his Father permission to go to Maradon to join the National Army. He wanted fill training before the Final Battle swooped down on them all. His Father gave him permission, wanting his son to learn the way of the blade, and be able to live past the Final Battle that they all knew was coming. But the only thing his Father did ask was that he go to spend a year in the Grey Tower. He was friends with a Gaidin there, a fellow Malkeri, and he knew Vance could not get any better training than there. Vance agreed that he would, and if he loved the life he would stay and pledge himself to an Aes Sedai or Asha’man, any way to throw a dagger into the Father of Lies eye if he could.

So after a month of travel, Vance arrived at the Grey Tower, and signed himself into training with the other Warders in training.
