Zander Isdal

Zander Isdal (ザンダー イスダル, Zandaa Isudaru) is a mage and guitar player within the independent guild, Wings of Archadia. Out of the others within the band, Zander's history is the most mysterious, offering little to no clues about his past. He specializes in fire magic, summoning a blue flame which he has described as burning hotter than all others. This has earned him the alias "Indigo Flame".

Appearance
In terms of height and build, Zander is a tall man with a muscular physique. Though his most noticeable features are his vibrant red eyes, matching his forward swept hair that drapes over the one side of his face. His eyes have been described as mesmorizing, and combined with his good looks, make him quite popular among the ladies. His female fans have depicted him as being the most handsome of the band.

His attire consists mainly a red or white button down shirts under a black blazer that he keeps buttoned. The shirts collar and cuffs normally stick out from under the blazer. He wears either red of white slacks, depending on the under shirt he has on at the time, and white shoes.

Zander also enjoys accessorizing his outfits with a choker, black necklace that hangs over his half exposed chest and gold ring on his left middle finger. His guitar is a Schecter C1 Hellraiser.

Personality
Its difficult to know what goes on in the mind of Zander since he rarely speaks or engages in social activities. Even with his own band members, he comes off as being rather cold and dismissive towards any attempt to speak with him, and prefers to keep to himself. His dialogue is usually short and to the point, and tends to carry an arrogant tone to it. He seemingly gets irritated when people are playing around and prefers to keep things serious.

While appearing apathetic, Zander does have personal interests: such as his music and his magic. He's an extraordinary guitar player, capable of grouping musical notes in such a way that it resonates with the audience. When he plays, its like the music is being written from his soul and performs rather passionate guitar solos. But even then, he keeps a rather stoic expression.

The only times he seems to show any emotion is when conjuring his blue flames. His band remarks that its the only time when Zander is seen smiling and even during that time, his smile seems more like a maniacal grin. He greatly enjoys using his magic because it helps release his own personal torment. Its as if the blue flames were a manifestation of his saddness and releasing it is a form of therapy. During this time, he also becomes quite arrogant and desires inflicting pain on his opponents. This often causes a rift with the band because they do not actively want to hurt others unless absolutely necessary.
