Vander

Vander is implied to have been a brutal man in his younger years. A flashback reveals an incident between him and Silco, where Vander tried to viciously drown the latter in Piltover's polluted river, despite carrying a knife with him. After leading a failed uprising against Piltover's regime that saw a tragic loss of life, Vander was forced to bear the message to Vi and Powder that their parents had lost their lives in the fighting. After witnessing the grief this bore upon the two children, Vander turned pacifist, dropping his weapons and carrying the girls away to raise them as their father.

At the time of Arcane's first act, Vander was the surrogate father of Vi, Powder, Mylo and Claggor. A caring man, Vander was always willing to protect those that need his help. He was seen as a protector by many, and he cared for the Lanes and the people in them. He governed the Lanes through a paternal authority, relying on people's gratitude and genuine respect for him to maintain order. Though turned pacifist, he defied his dogma in his final act, eventually fighting and dying to save Vi's life.

Vander was a large and muscular middle-aged man with grey eyes, dark hair, and a neatly trimmed greying beard. He was generally seen wearing blue trousers, leather boots, a brown leather jacket over a white undershirt, and a leather pauldron on his upper right arm to cover up the scar that he got from Silco when he was young.
