Vane the Younger

Vane the Younger
Title: Disgraced Squire of the Gilded Guard
Role: The son of the legendary Commander Vane, young Vane (given name: Elian) has struggled to live up to his father's immortal reputation. He was kicked out of the Gilded Guard for "insubordination" and now works as a bouncer for Mistress Vespera. He is a talented warrior but lacks the discipline and focus of his father.
Secret Motivation: Elian believes his father was "immortalized" not by a curse, but by a deliberate draconic experiment. He wants to find the dragon responsible and force them to reverse the process—or kill them if they can't. He has been gathering information on "immortality rituals" and suspects that the High Council of Mages is using his father’s blood to extend their own lives.
Adventure Hook: Elian overhears a group of mages at the club discussing a "new shipment of Vane-essence." He asks the party to help him intercept the shipment and find out where it's coming from.
