Description

"Vidor looked like an inhabitant of Avelorn. He could almost be one of the primitive asrai of the far eastern continent. He dressed all in leather, in a hooded jerkin. In his right hand he carried a great longbow which he could use with a proficiency that would do credit to even one of the elves of the forests across the ocean. He was a deadly shot and just as deadly with a sword of knife. He liked to hunt, and most of all he liked to hunt intelligent creatures such as humans or elves. He was a famous tracker who often returned escaped slaves to their masters. He delighted in doing such things.
  Malekith knew his secret. Not only was he a great tracker, but Malekith had ordered his sorcerers to alter the olfactory centres of Vidor's brain.... Vidor was capable of tracker like a hound. He had a sense of smell as keen as a wolf. Something about the sorcery had altered his brain and let him derive and almost sexual pleasure from the hunt and kill."

Excerpt from 'Bane of Malekith' by William King.

Vidor is one of the four druchii (Dark Elf) assassins dispatched by the Witch King of Naggaroth to hunt down Tyrion, the tale's protagonist- (who I find to be no small amount like Eol...). Lord Vidor and his three companions are some of the most dangerous assassins in the world. They can blend into High Elf culture if they need to or go completely unseen if they wish. In the tale he easily kills a great manticore with a single arrow to its eye, just before a badly wounded Tyrion turns the tables and defeats all four of them in one very epic skirmish. I hardly do it justice- I suggest reading the trilogy.. They're awesome. (lots of elves.) 

Vidor and Amara, fav.me/d7tashe, appeared in this painting- fav.me/d7qz9h4 - with the druchii general Dorian Silverblade. Note: I changed the bow for the painting. It was a bit over-done in this piece. ;)

Vidor and 'Bane of Malekith' book belongs to Warhammer and William King.
