==Design==
Vordus was an elderly Enderman with a long, ruffled, dark brown beard (which in turn was shorter in youth). He seemed very frail—his ribcage left impressions on his chest. Vordus had pink, glowing eyes—these were originally light blue in Cold as Ice and a white marking was visible above his left eye. A red marking was present on the left side of his head.
A golden crown embedded with blue-green gems adorned Vordus' head. Vordus wore small orange gloves and boots. He wielded the Dragon Seer's Staff into battle and was rarely seen without it in his grasp.
==Story==
“A dragonseer is one who sees through the eyes of the Ender Dragon, or in better words, an Enderman embodiment of the Ender Dragon. The dragonseer also decides who becomes the dragon tamer.“- Rainimator Lorebook 
Vordus was one of the great southern End Lords - the Lord of the - who rallied under Ceris in the War of the Ender Kingdoms to found the and defeat the Void Lord. Centuries afterwards, he fought against Herobrine in the Undead Reign, whilst silently grappling with the Prophecy entailing the Watcher's doom.
The fate Vordus percieved would eventually come after them, and despite warning Ceris that their resistance would be futile, he fought in the Battle of Dragonspire. Sadly, he would be the first leader to fall, being crippled by a lethal blast of Pyromancy and later swarmed by pigmen armies to his death.
==Personality==
In his more youthful years, Vordus was a bit more relaxed than his Fractures version, openly laughing and mocking Lance with other Ender Lords for his vision. 
After the war - and into the Fractures series - Vordus has become a somewhat jaded and reclusive person, whose entire life hinges on the prophecy and what it claims to be destiny. He acts as a mentor-like figure to Ceris, trying to persuade her to take the route that would lead to less death. However, his willingness to surrender to fate left him blinded to the will of his fellows, and their defiance to buy the Endstone Crusaders more time.
==Skills ==
"The Dragonseer can summon spectral Ender Dragons in battle. He has no other powers as he relies on the Ender Dragon to fight for him." - Rainimator Lorebook
As one of The Ender Watchers, Vordus was a fearsome opponent. As the Dragonseer - described as an Enderman embodiment of the Ender Dragon - Vordus was able to see through the eyes of the Ender Dragon, as well as being able to summon it to fight. However, Vordus could not physically fight, so he instead relied on his staff that blasted opponents back with magic and could summon Spectral Dragons. He also had some advisory skills, although it was not enough to discourage Ceris. A magically gifted enderman, Vordus is capable of normal speech.Olaguer, Rain Allen [radapedaxa] (December 12, 2023). "Magically gifted endermen like Vordus and Lauretta can communicate through normal speech." (Discord message). Retrieved January 13, 2024 — via Discord.
Vordus can see the future to an extent and often delivers prophecies to the Ender Watchers.https://discord.com/channels/478232666781646889/480261137452105749/558826545121329172
Vordus had the remarkable ability to manipulate magic to a significant extent through the use of his staff. This was evident in his impressive feat of simultaneously combating a large number of enemies, as showcased in the events of the Ender Wish.
