Vinald Tanash

Vinald is an ambitious and status-conscious nobleman driven by the desire to preserve his family's legacy and power. He is calculated and manipulative, willing to use his son as a pawn to advance his political agenda within the kingdom's noble hierarchy. His desperation makes him prone to extreme measures when he perceives his status is under threat.

Vinald features blue eyes, blonde hair, and a matching blonde beard and moustache. He is typically dressed in attire befitting his noble status, specifically a white silk shirt, a deep blue blazer, and cashmere pants.

House Tanash was established by Gillam Tanash, a blacksmith who rose to become an Archmage and Duke. For two generations following Gillam, no mages were born into the family until Zintar. Vinald sought to escalate tensions during the conflict between ancient and new noble factions to eliminate his rivals. When the Crown cancelled the third exam, he became desperate to maintain his son's academic performance to protect his status. He eventually involved himself in the academy's politics, leading to his son's exposure to anti-mana toxins, which Lith Verhen later diagnosed during a house visit.
