General Description:
Vondal has a lean build with long limbs that seem to emphasize how thin he is. His hands are rough from years working on a ship, but his fingers are delicate and nimble. He keeps his hair long, occasionally tied back (especially when working on rigging), but usually left to hang free. His eyes are narrow and dark, and naturally expressive in a way that makes it difficult for him to hide when he's upset.General Dressing Style:
He's gotten used to working shirtless on the ship, but when he does have to wear clothes while working he prefers comfortable clothing that is just loose enough to allow freedom of movement without being so loose that it gets caught on things. When he's dressing up for himself, he prefers suits that are tailored to fit his thin frame.Willy Cartier

Habits & Mannerisms:
Holds things in his mouth, be it pens, paper, pins, rope, or tools.General Personality:
Vondal used to be a quiet man full of smiles, gentle encouragement and warmth. After spending years sailing on a ship he's learned to shout, to curse, and even to be bitter and pessimistic. He longs for the quieter, gentler moments still, and though he enjoys the sailors he spends so much time with, he wishes he didn't feel like he had to put on such an act to get along and fit in with them.Willy Cartier

Important History:
712: After three daughters, Vonelis is excited to finally have a son.717 & 5 turns: Vondal is a quiet child who enjoys playing with his older sisters. He seems to prefer their company than that of other boys, frequently complaining that they're too loud or mean.
719 & 7 turns: Helyna is introduced as a potential friend for his sisters, but he gets along with her more and latches onto her as a friend.
725 & 13 turns: Follows his father's footsteps and becomes an apprentice weaver. He finds the craft fascinating and he's excited about learning to make costumes and nice clothes for himself.
727 & 15 turns: With his skills developing further, Vondal becomes a senior apprentice.
729 & 17 turns: While he's never really found women to be attractive in general, he is surprised to find that he is attracted to Helyna. They experiment with fooling around together and while he finds he enjoys the experience, they agree to just be friends since she does not feel the same in return.
730 & 18 turns: Vondal is tapped for journeyman shortly before his 18th birthday. Wanting to hide his distinct preference for men he asks Helyna to marry him so that they can keep each other company and free of any other forced romances.
731 & 19 turns: Vondal has an accident while out on circuit, falling from a cliff into the sea when his horse is spooked during a storm. He is fished out from the ocean by a ship and nursed back to health. He suffers from amnesia and has no idea who he is, except for his name which is conveniently embroidered on his sewing kit which they recovered with him. The sailors check with the nearby seahold, but no one there recognizes him. He stays with the ship and helps out in gratitude. The Captain of the vessel is kind enough to let him live with his family in Tellek Hold when the ship is in port.
732 & 20 turns: Some memories start to return but they're still vague. He mostly remembers the weavercraft hall, and an intense need to hide because of his preference for men. He decides to stay on the ship, helping to mend shirts and sails and doing other minor tasks to help.
733 & 21 turns: A drunken moment leads him sleeping with Ketan, another sailor, in the hold. They continue to have a secret relationship and Vondal decides to keep sailing to spend more time with the man. To help keep the relationship a secret he starts to more overtly flirt with ladies at port, though his heart isn't in it.
737 & 25 turns: Swears he's seen some sort of sea serpent while on watch on the ship.
740 & 28 turns: During a storm, Ketan falls overboard and drowns. Vondal is despondent and almost leaves the ship, but the captain convinces him to stay on.
741 & 29 turns: The sea is especially choppy on one trip and Vondal falls from the rigging, hitting his head, and suffers a bad concussion. When he wakes up he suddenly remembers one name: Helyna. Things are still hazy, but for once he has a reason to go back to the Weavercraft Hall to try to find out more about his past.
