VenDell is a kandra operative of Harmony who first appears in The Lost Metal as a meticulous, scholarly figure tasked with guiding Waxillium Ladrian through the political and metaphysical crises of Scadrial’s industrial age. His role expands from mere informant to active liaison between the kandra and the human world, bridging the gap between Harmony’s divine directives and the gritty realities of law enforcement and politics.
