Plando was born to a family of three in the southern hemisphere of the world roughly 35 years ago. Although middle aged and considered young by some aging conventions, Plando's life style has caused him to appear slightly older than he actually is. Marked by a larger than life bushy mustache that is brimming with white and gray hair. Plando almost always wears a protective visor to prevent "accidents on the job" and can often be seen wearing a specialized helm made of blackened copper, complete with a barred visor for eye protection. Plando stands about 5'5 inches tall and is fairly short in comparison to most males of similar age and a majority of women. Plando has no noticeable tattoos but, after a battle with a trolloc which left Plando's shirt badly torn, a tattoo of an anchor and an eagle could be seen on his exposed chest just over his right pectoral muscle.

Plando's entire life is devoted to the guild, but even Plando needs a way to relax and unwind from time to time and has been known to be a connoisseur of port wines. Plando has been known to make special gestures, do favors for people, and go out of his way to secure Murandian port wine, his personal favorite. Plando is a social drinker and tries to save imbibing for special events. Plando is a big fan of fishing and has been known to haunt spots as far west as trout streams in the misty mountains and has been sighted fishing from the docks in White Bridge from time to time. Although this isn't a secretive event, Plando typically tries to fish in privacy as it's a great form of meditation for him and also he is not a fan of sharing his "secret fishing spots". If Plando ever offers to take you fishing, you must accept because rumor has it you only get one chance, and if you do go with him, although you're sworn to secrecy and possibly blind-folded, you'll probably catch a once in a life time whopper of a fish, so choose wisely.

Plando grew up on a farm just outside of Devin's Ride. Although a sleepy stop over between Emonds Field and the larger bustling city of Amador, Plando was able to meet a lot of interesting strangers growing up as a child. Devins Ride was such a busy through way that Plando had come to know many Red Eagles, but also a famous Gleeman, two Kandori Merchants, and even a member of the White Tower. Plando is a social character and typically makes friends readily wherever he goes, and making friends with travelers served Plando well long term as those connections matured over time, ultimately helping him meet several members of the Guild. Plando befriended several officers that would patrol Amadicia just over the mountain pass and in exchange for errands and delivery of goods such as bottles of wine and food the Officers allowed Plando to participate in sword play when the guards practiced. One Officer in particular was very gifted and took a liking to Plando's natural abilities and raw talent with a blade. It is believed that this officer trained Plando's hand with a blade for many years prior to Plando leaving the south.

Plando enjoys the art of delivering beautiful night flowers across the land, and has been known to travel extensively. Illuminator's are typically not very fond of combat, but due to Plando's rare exposure to military grade training as a young man, Plando can often be found taking a pause between displays of fireworks and trading them in for a bout of swash buckling and ensuring that the light prevails over the dark one, even as high as blighted gatekeep. Although small and not built for combat by nature, Plando excels in being extremely quick with sleight of hand. Plando is considered a hunter by trade, and is typically very at home in most areas of the map with great reliability. Having spent so much time traveling and exploring during his early 20's, Plando has amassed a great wealth of knowledge about his surroundings and is an excellent guide to new travelers.
