Vanez Blane

Vanez Blane is the highest ranked tutor in Vampire Mountain. He helped Darren train for three of his trials. He lost an eye fighting a lion many decades before the beginning of the series, then lost the other (book 6) when it was caught by a flying knife during the battle that began the War of the Scars. Being blind didn't stop him though, nor did it prevent him from winning fights. he was also discribed as "ginger-haired games master" in hunters of the dusk, so hes probably a redhead like mr. crepsley
