Vikan Buristal (NG male human ranger 4/ extreme explorer 3) handles logistics for the Foundation’s major expeditions. Over 6-1/2 feet tall, he is blond with a full beard that conceals hideous stirge scars. His skin is tanned and leathery from a lifetime in the sun. For half an hour before the museum opens each morning, Vikan exercises in the jungle room, swinging from vine to vine and doing pull-ups on branches.
Vikan idolizes Lord Boroman. He constantly retells the story of how, on Lord Boroman’s last adventure, the mighty halfling rescued Vikan after he passed out and fell headfirst into a stirge nest. Whenever the diminutive halfling finds the strength to walk the halls of the Conclave headquarters, his towering comrade accompanies him. Vikan doesn’t trust Imre Levalle, but he has no evidence of wrongdoing to back up his feelings.
