Vetch, as I call him, doesn't show up until the second book where he shadows Elly for a reason only known to him. But he does become a keystone in my storyline despite my best efforts. (Darn those secondary characters!) He is a fun character to write because he is a big minotaur with brains. Bronze with brains, what a change.
Vetch is large minotaur, standing a good six and a half feet tall, clay red fur, with a white splotch over his right eye. The tip of his left horn is broken from some battle in the past. He wears leather armor with studs and carries a two handed battle axe nearly as big as himself. He wears studded bracers with the symbol of the dragon on it, denoting his rank as captain amongst the minotaur mercenaries.
Like many of his kind, Vetch is a mercenary who hires out to the highest bidders. In this day and age it is the Black Wizards. Vetch in a quandary. Because minotaurs are so honorable they are bound by contracts, but at the same time they do not like what the Black Wizards are doing, for they are trying to bring back Kahalla. Vetch in the books is trying to figure out how to save his people from the Black Wizards while still remaining honorable.
Vetchdoron is most likely to be found in Last Stand in the time of the High King's Sword, for that is where his troop of mercenaries are stationed. He works hard to keep his men safe and would hire extra help (i.e. the players) if they are honorable and will work hard. He and his men can also be hired for protection if Vetch and his company are not currently working for the Black Wizards.
