Vandre is in his 20's and is 180 cm tall. He possess the usual demon characteristics, such as pointed ears, swarthy skin, and red eyes. Unlike most demons, however, his hair is sky blue. It is braided on one side, but falls over his right eye in bangs.

He usually wears white pants, a white muscle shirt, and a white muffler with a flower pattern sown into it.

Personality
During his childhood, Vandre considers his birth to be a curse. This is not only due to the fact that he was born as a result of his mother being raped by his father, but also because his father forces him to use his ancient magic to create living weapons that killed so many people. This changes, however, after his mother teaches him the credo of the dragonmen, and that he should live for others so that they may live for him.

Vandre believes that the world will always be full of evil, regardless of the gods' intervention in it.

He is easily embarrassed. While putting up a brave and arrogant front, Vandre gets easily flustered or shy when people compliment him. It is then he pulls up his muffler to avoid the subject.

Vandre is quite artistic, having created and sewn his muffler, as well as adding the flower embroidery.

Biography
Vandre is the second son of the previous demon king. His mother was a dragonwoman named Sasrika Schnee, who was captured by the demon lord and forced to bare his child. Vandre and his mother spent the early years of his childhood in the demon king's dungeon. At age 6, however, Vandre discovered his ability to use Metamorphosis Magic, and so both and his mother, as well at the demon lord's super soldier test subjects that Vandre befriended in the dungeon, were permitted to be free while under the demons's supervision if Vandre used his magic to create an army of super soldiers for the demon lord. After Vandre created an army for his father, the demons waged war with the human, with the end result being a draw. Unsatisfied with the outcome, Vandre's father raped Sasrika in the hopes of producing another child that could use Ancient Magic. Vadre was enraged after learning what happened and immediately transformed into a dragon for the first time. He attempted to kill his father, but was unsuccessful in his efforts. He was was about to be killed, but was saved after his mother sacrificed herself to protect him. The trauma of his mother's death emotionally scarred Vandre to the point that he could not longer transform. It was also due to his weakened mental state that his father decided to spare him since he was now more easily manipulatable.
