Vicar Wilander

Vicar Wilander is a Human clergyman and one of the main antagonists in VARULV, Book I (Issues 1 - 4).

He is small in stature and his dress is more ornate than any citizen's within the community. He is middle-aged and carries with him a staff despite having suffered no obvious injury which would require the use of one. The staff is likely to be enchanted and may in fact be one of the Artifacts. Wilander is set apart from most of the Humans of Blaidfästt for his unyielding disdain of Ulven-kind. It is not known whether or not his distrust of Ulven stems from his belief system, or something more personal, but it is clear that his greatest hope is to have them removed from his home-village, if not the world.

He is also a sorceror, and a student of dark magick if not several other disciplines as well. This would appear to be in direct conflict with his aversion to "unnatural" things such as Ulven, Trolls, and (one would assume) Fae, and it is unknown how he acquired his magical abilities or the staff he carries, from which his power seems to stem.

Despite outwardly calling Trolls "revolting", in Book I, Wilander strikes a deal with Gro'raan, a Troll chieftan whom he later enlists to terrorize Blaidfästt's population in an attempt to rid the settlement of its Ulven protectors.
