One of the last holdovers of the independent aristocracy that held political sway in Andoran before its independence from the control of Infernal Cheliax, Baron Galdur Vendikon holds tightly to what power he has in his measly territory of Piren's Bluff. Ever tempted to shift his allegiances to support Chelish interests, the Baron found himself being showered by arcane gifts ranging from magic items to his own crepitus servant, all from Chelaix's many emissaries. In 4708 AR, when his decision to side with the powerful Chelish invaders became known to the People's Council in Almas, the Andoren army laid siege to his hold and the town, and with help of undercover Andoren agents, brought the Baron's reign to an end.
