.:Personality:. Vaughn is a mysterious individual. He does not at all personify the qualities expected of a knight. He may be courageous and skilled as a warrior, but he lacks any sort of loyalty, empathy, and morality. He has no concern for others well being making him a selfish individual as he only looks out for himself. He has no sense of morals and values, and will only aid someone if he is to get something to gain from it, even if that something is just an adventure and the joy of killing someone else. He is cold and detached from all other people and beings. He can kill with no hesitation but only with purpose, and he insensitive to the sufferings of others. In fact, he finds humor in morbid situations and often makes highly inappropriate jokes. He finds others discomfort and sorrow comical and entertaining to himself. These sort of personality traits is what makes him rather unpopular, though he makes no attempt to redeem himself of this. He prefers a life of solitude. Because of his lack of peers and allies, he also therefore lacks any social and communication skills, making it difficult for him to realize when he has crossed a boundary or said something beyond the limit of appropriateness.

He has no sense of purpose or loyalty to anyone else, which is why he always needs a reason that to help someone rather than do it out of the kindness of his heart. He can be arrogant, and gives off a very insensitive vibe for he appears to show no emotion under any circumstances. He has no fear, not even in the face of death for dying to him, is something that he knows is inevitable. This lack of fear makes him reckless and irrational for he does not care about the consequences of his actions. His conversations with others are not always pleasant. He never talks about himself, unless he decides to make up a story about his past, as he will never reveal the true events of his life that had taken place. This makes him a bit of a pathological liar and gives him a reputation of untrustworthy. He enjoys deception, a little too much, and likes to provoke people, as he is often not offended to affected by what others say to him. His heart of stone prohibits him from experiencing any sort of emotion. He can be patient, and does not have a temper, however he can be extremely unpredictable, making him a bit dangerous. He is more analytical than people assume. He in intelligent but presents himself as the opposite, again, returning to his enjoyment of deceiving others.

.:Birthplace:. Adeney Estate
.:Family:. Is a very sore subject for Vaughn.
.:Occupation:. A nomadic knight
.:Current Location of Residence:. None, he is traveling as he does not like to settle in one place
.:History:. Vaughn was the first son, born into a noble family in a Kingdom far beyond Albion. He has a younger brother, and three sisters. He lived a typical life of a noble, perhaps the only difference being that even at a young age, he did not have a sense of right and wrong. He acted more selfishly than consider the feelings and needs of others, and while his father tried to instill some values into his son, it did not prove to be effective. Vaughn, like any nobleman, was sent at a young age to serve as a page. He went to a neighbouring estate and fulfilled the necessary duties for him to move smoothly up the ranks as he later became a squire, and by the age of seventeen, became a knight. When he returned home, an unpleasant, unexpected surprise awaited him. His younger brother by a year, was announced to be the new Lord of Adeney. This infuriated Vaughn, as he was the oldest and expected to be the new Lord of the land. His father explained to him that he was not qualified to be the heir to this land, for he did not possess the characteristics to be a good leader. Vaughn was considered too selfish, and inconsiderate which showed his inability to demonstrate the necessary compassion and loyalty to his people, and ultimately, the king. Though he had sworn allegiance, he was regarded as untrustworthy and his intentions were still uncertain by others...with good reason. It was at this moment, that Vaughn truly resented his entire family.

Not long after he was knighted, did a vicious battle break out in the land. While his intentions were unknwon before, they were clear now. He was expected to lead the army, and use this opportunity to show his worthiness of the title of Lord, showing his nobility and loyalty. Instead, Vaughn did nothing. He refused to lead the army, despite his exceptional skills as a warrior, and allowed someone else to take that responsibility. Or rather, forced somenoe else to take that responsibility by his refusal to do anything. He felt he owed nothing to his family, and could truly care less of they tore the land apart. Vaughn stayed for some time, witnessing others going off to battle, with very few numbers returning. This did not phase him. Instead, it pleased him to see them failing. Vaughn`s father could only take a limited amount of this, and so disowned his son, stripping him of any titles and wealth. This was the greatest news Vaughn had ever heard, for it officially freed him. Instead of feeling disgraced, as his father had hoped so that he would return to his family and defend them, Vaughn took this opportunity to collect very few things, take his horse, and ride away from Adeney, never to return.

Vaughn does not know what happened to his family, nor does he show the slightest bit care or remorse for what happened. He enjoys his current lifestyle, experiencing new surroundings every day and engaging in new adventures. While he does not exactly enjoy the company of people, he enjoys pushing their buttons, seeing how far he can provoke them. This his main form of amusement, and his unfortunate hobby. He does not seek retribution for what he did, nor does he seek glory for he truly does not care about what others think of him. He cares only about himself, and looks out for only himself.
