Speculation:Blackwand

From the Lyorn Records of the Dragaeran Empire

Blackwand's sentience/soul/whatnot may very well be Drien. Drien was a shaman (aka a sorcerer) and also a warrior. Blackwand displays abilities in both of these areas.

To the left, Drien is noted for his/her gender ambiguity (per Issola), whereas Vlad feels a distinctly feminine character from Blackwand.
