Vyder Gold

Vyder Gold is a character in the Reborn. He is Alister Hunter's friend and adoptive brother, and usually tries to sort out as many situations as he can, even if he's not involved in them. He is a human who is experienced in some necromancy, and he's also a member of the Aesir family to an extent.

Physical appearance
Vyder has dark hair and piercing blue eyes which are a trait of the Aesir family that came from the distant relation to Ymir and some frostgiants. He usually wears dark clothing like red, black and grey and has pale skin. He has little facial hair and his personality is quite calm, but he has been known to lose his temper and get impatient at times. He is smaller than a few other main characters, but he makes up for it in his knowledge of magic and power.

History
After his adoptive brother Alister crashes a tractor into a barn and causes a pig to have a heartattack, Alister walks into the farmer's house to see Vyder there, dressed in grey. Farmer Deaze storms in and fires Alister, telling Vyder that Alister can't work at the farm anymore. Vyder agrees and calmly points out that Mr Deaze's wife makes the best apple pies, implying that he ate a piece of apple pie that was made for Mr Deaze, who loses his temper and banishes them from his farm. Now lost in the middle of the countryside, Vyder and Alister are visited by Zō Feather, who doesn't help at all. Suddenly, all three of them witness a wizard being hit by a car. ("Wizard's Road ")

He, Alister and Zō rush over to the wizard that had been ran down by a car. When the people that were in the car attempt to call an ambulance, Alister and Vyder insist that they don't. Vyder tells them that they work at a nearby farm and that they'll take care of him, telling them continue on their merry way. Vyder also predicts that the man that was hit by a car won't be very happy to see them when he wakes up. When the non-magic folk leave, Vyder points out to Alister that the girl in the car had the same eyes as "Djinn Vipre". ("The Goose of New Jersey ")

Vyder reappears leaving his house for an afternoon stroll. However, just beginning his evening walk, he notices that he is being followed and confronts the person, named Adrian Hazel. Vyder claims that it had been a while since they had last seen one another, and asks if he is following him. Adrian confirms this, before knocking Vyder out cold with a piece of brick. Later, the next morning, Vyder wakes up on the footpath and returns to his house to find it trashed. Furious, he finds a Blood Map and uses it to track Adrian down to a farm. It is there that he meets Irene Midnight. He points a gun at her, questioning as to whether she works for Roj Allans. Irene denies this, and Vyder eventually tells her that both Sue Z. and Mrs Deaze have been murdered by Roj. Irene joins forces with Vyder, to avenge Sue's death. ("Four Corpses and One to Come ")
