Biography
Vavelyn grew up in Oak Hill to great House Garvel, with his father Tempus Garvel, mother by marriage Gil Garvel and half brother Elentren Garvel. Gil treated him like her own son, but blatantly favourited her true son Elentren. When Vavelyn was 14 he began asking a lot of questions about his true mother, and eventually discovered she was living in Oak Hill. Gil grew angry by this, as she had treated him like her own son, and yet he still wanted to meet his true mother. Eventually, the night before Vavelyn had arranged to meet his mother Julia, Gil snuck into his room with his dagger, hoping to kill him in his sleep, but Vavelyn was awake, and defended himself, and ended up killing Gil in self defense. His father was outraged and kicked Vavelyn out, not believing what had happened and claiming Vavelyn killing Gil was murder, not self defense, however he could not bring himself to have Vavelyn arrested, as the penalty for murder was death.

Vavelyn originally went to his mother, Julia Reach, to ask if he could stay with her as his father had expelled him from his family, but when he arrived at his mother's house, he saw her lying dead on the ground in a pool of her own blood. Vavelyn lived in the streets of Oak Hill for two weeks, begging and barely scraping enough food together to survive, until his Aunt Jereen Holder found him during a visit to his father. Jereen took him into her home in Roseport to live with her and her husband, Keaton Holder.

Eventually he left to join the Willowrock Army, as his father had. It was there he met Dakath Arbane, Bergaer Thorne, Fisca Estenendor, and his wife Gylindryl Aeroel. His wife was a nurse in his unit, but she was murdered during a battle by a Greenvale soldier, whom Vavelyn killed immediately after. He fought for Willowrock for a short while after when he eventually met Valyndra, but she was killed the same way his wife was (Head smashed in with a war hammer), leaving him with a crippling fear of hammers. He then left the Willowrock Army after 3 years of service and became a guard at the capital city, Serothi, along with his best friend Bergaer Thorne.

At Serothi he serves as bodyguard to King Elred Morville III, along with Bergaer Thorne, Boomy, and Ylyndar Rassell.
