Veldrane of Sengir was one of the Baron Sengir's minions on Ulgrotha and his most loyal servant. He was a poacher, scout, and messenger.
Description
He walked the roads and paths from Onella to Castle Sengir, to bring victims back for his master, or to deliver information to the Baron's numerous allies and agents. He was usually disguised as a common traveler or trader, and was not easily recognized as a foreigner to the sunlit lands outside the Dark Barony. The only means of constantly identifying him was a dwarven-made, emerald studded scabbard and sword he carried on his person at all times. Some were convinced that Veldrane was only a puppet of the Baron and that he was nothing more than an undead of some sort.[1][2]
As the best hunter of the Baron, he led many successful missions into the Great Wood, but neither Veldrane nor any other hunters were able to discover the Autumn Willow - the secret power of the wood. Autumn Willow thus created Devin, one of the Faerie Nobles as a miniature replica of Veldrane, as a joke against the Baron's servant.[3]
Given that hundreds of years have passed since his natural lifetime, it it is likely that Veldrane is long dead, unless the Baron decided to reward his service with the kiss of undeath.
