Vinnie Michaels

Father Vinnie Michaels is a young Lordaeronian priest who currently practices his faith from the Monastery of Saint Fontaine in the Priory of Theramore. Born blind, Vinnie had always struggled. Orphaned at the age of seven, he was forced to live on the streets of Lordaeron, often resorting to petty crime to acquire food to survive, however due to his handicap he was rarely successful. Vinnie quickly developed a reputation with the city guards who often jokingly referred to him as the ''"Blind Bandit". ''

He was introduced into the Holy Light when, then squire of the Silverhand, Skaxis Voltaire, saved him from being arrested after failing to steal from a fruit stand in Lordaeron. Paying for the fruit, Skaxis took the young boy in and mentored him on the Light, drastically changing young Michael's life. With the fall of Lordaeron during the Third War, Michaels was separated from Voltaire amiss the chaos, only to be saved by John Anthony.

Since that fateful day, Michaels has served a student of Anthony, eventually becoming an ordained priest and well respected figure of Theramore Isle.
