Vandor Colton
Vandor Colton is a mercenary of minor reputation and born of low status. While not a knight, he was trained after their fashion, being adept at combat, trained in weapons and armor and having been raised with chivalry in mind.
However, over time, the sellsword has learned to sell his sword to generally anybody willing to pay. While he does not go out of his way to commit atrocity, and is not inclined to build a reputation of ill repute, Vandor may find his jobs to be beneath the morality of some others.
Whether in the service of a lord or being hired at a tavern, for the most part, it just depends on the contract and its payment. The nature of the job generally takes a backseat.
Appearance
Vandor is of average height and sports a strong build, but not so heavy as to sacrifice speed and agility. His dark brown hair is kept back and falls to the base of his neck. He has a short beard. He usually travels with his armor on.

Personality
Vandor is not shy or reserved but is usually the guy who keeps quiet at the back of the tavern unless someone invites him to the bar. A handsome man who knows it but doesn't go out of his way to show it, he can take a woman in his arms but has no desire to settle down.
As a mercenary, he is often traveling, sleeping in the wild, inns or the lodging of his employer. He has since developed an appreciation for keeping to himself and going alone in the world, though he has no qualms with working with a partner or in a group.
Though not cruel of heart, Vandor may be unpredictable in his behavior toward others. He may save the lady getting beaten but may not care about the cutpurse running past him. If highwaymen need to be taken out then he'll be glad to, but a crime lord may offer more to support those toll bridges. It just depends on the circumstances.
