Irving Vassago

Irving is the brother of Alara, making him uncle to Adriel and Kaleb.  He is a quiet man, withdrawn since he lost his wife many years ago.

Appearance

Irving is tall, though not as tall as Danther.  He has pale skin, medium length black hair and green eyes.  He is usually clean shaven.  Usually found wearing clothing representative of his occupation and status.  His face and body are scarred from the many battles he has fought.  He walks with a severe limp, so usually requires the help of a cane to aid his mobility. 

Personality

Irving is quiet and withdrawn, but still has a commanding presence about him.  Highly intelligent and resourceful, he manages the knights under him with an iron fist.  A fair man, he is quick to punish dissension, but will also equally reward those who please him.  He has a good relationship with Alara and Danther, but is somewhat awkward with Adriel.  He was able to get along easily with Kaleb due to his love of the military and weaponry, but is unable to strike up a bond with Adriel who'd rather retreat into books.  Despite this, he is not unkind and will often bring Adriel gifts.  

He had a wife, Rosamond, who was killed during the Giant War some twenty years prior.  Though he has always been a quiet person, those close to him say he used to be more jovial and loving before her passing, and that her death changed him.
