He is of average height, for an elf, with ~180cm and got a pale-grey/copper skin with black hair and green eyes. Usually clad in leather armor and common clothes, he travels with a backpack, a wooden shield and a quarterstaff Velandrir or for his friends "Vel", was a foundling on a large sailboat "Chunky Molly", apparently placed there and abandoned by his parents in the last city's harbor. His adopted Father, Jormund tried to teach Vel the art of sailing. Due to the taciturn nature of most of the sailors, Vel didn't really develop any social skills, but is also kind of oblivious to it. Over the years, Jormund was verging on the edge of total despair since the only thing he managed to get into Vel's head were the constellations. Vel loved the Stars and kept trading shifts to do the night watch and study the constellations. Over more than a decade though, Vel picked up at least the basics of sailing while still preferring to do watches with little to no action. When Jormund retired from the life of a sailor, mostly handling and shipping cargo for long distance runs, he moved back into his home village, a small village just north of Candlekeep(down in the south). Vel decided to follow him, since would still be considered quite young for an elf, at only 34. At first, Jormund seemed to 'recover' and become healthier again but over the years his health started to diminish rather quickly. The village's healer tried his best and managed to 'soften the blow' of aging and over some time she "Negwen" -a Hafling- grew fond of Vel and took over his education. She taught him in her ways, the way of a druid, instead of any "actual craft" as Jormund would grumble into his beard. A couple of years later, a band of orc raiders settled in the area and started harrying and ransacking the village. During the second raid, Negwen took a stray arrow to the chest and died that night. Finally deciding he had enough, Vel started consulting with his village elders and started rallying the nearby village's townsfolk to get rid of the raiders. Even though they managed to kill most of the raiders and drive off the rest of them, the attack wasn't quite the success Vel hoped it would be. More than half of the combined force was also dead and many more wounded. Growing resentment and accusations that were thrown in his direction made Vel decide to leave the village and area all together. Becoming a navigator/hired hand on the next available ship, he sailed northwards. Vel, over all these years, never lost his fascination for the stars and started to burn some local constellations into a crystal, that he keeps tied around his neck. During some of his nightly studies of the skies, he fell into a trance and over time discovered how to combine his magic with the alignment of the constellations.
