The once great king of Drangleic. According to legend, a mysterious woman named Nashandra, said to be of unparalleled beauty, came to Vendrick long ago and warned him of a looming threat across the seas, in the land of the Giants. King Vendrick named Nashandra his queen and crossed the ocean with her to combat the Giants. During this conflict, he pillaged the Giant's lands, and stole an unspecified "prize", which he brought back to Drangleic.[1][2] Using this acquired power, Vendrick created various types of Golems, who in turn built Drangleic Castle.[2]

Seeking vengeance for the subjugation of his kingdom, the King of the Giants amassed an army in a vengeful counter-invasion of Drangleic. He also sought to reclaim the invaluable "prize" stolen from him.[3] Unwilling to forgive the actions of Vendrick, the Giants crossed the sea and landed on the northern shores of Drangleic. They set siege to Drangleic Castle and relentlessly attacked various settlements, forts and keeps across the land for several generations.[4][1]

Battles waged endlessly between Vendrick's forces and the Giants, and much of Drangleic's citizens fled the kingdom to escape the conflict. Ultimately, the Giants were defeated by an unnamed hero.[5] In the aftermath, much of Drangleic had been reduced to rubble, and visitors to the kingdom were rare.[6]

He was eventually reduced to a Hollow after becoming obsessed with finding the essence of the soul in a failed attempt to cure the Undead Curse. His queen, Nashandra, tricked him into continuing his experiments. He eventually realised the trickery and her connections with the Father of the Abyss and exiled himself to prevent her from obtaining his power or his ring.

Alongside a contingent of knights and his loyal right hand Velstadt, The Royal Aegis Vendrick travelled to the Undead Crypt. Separated from his soul, the king wanders the halls, nothing more than a hollow husk while his loyal servants keep watch, protecting the king from those who would do him harm. The Bearer of the Curse may choose to spare the king, leaving him to wander endlessly, or slay him, and end his misery.
