Vandalan's face was once that of a kind and gentle boy, whose eyes shone brightly with enthusiasm and a playful sense of mischief. But any echoes of that past have long since faded, and in its place instead, there is a scarred and bitter face, with a single malicious eye that glares at all about him with sinister intent. there is nothing kind or gentle about Vandalan these days, only cruelty and spite. 

If one were to get close to Vandalan, they might note the smell of smoke on his clothing and dark smudges of charcoal on his fingertips. But if you're that close, then you're probably already too close for your own good.
