Distinguishing Features: Enda’s eyes are fully intact aside from their retinas inside. However his gaze often doesn’t match where he is actually looking. Though because he could see at one point in time, Enda will show you his emotions with his eyes, sometimes he even reacts to others like as if he could see you.
If you were to sift through his hair there is a good scar up his skull. He also has a few nicks from falling and getting used to his impairment. On his left shoulder there’s a large dent from a sword.

General Behavior:
Enda is a rather intellectual being, he is very instinctual and leans on his smell, taste and hearing to keep ‘an eye’ on those around him. He is a calm person and isn’t known to crack under pressure. It takes a lot for him to flinch, but when he is angry; hell hath no fury. He is rather respectable, and to deal disrespect to his beliefs sometimes hurts, but he will only be honest with the person and tell it how it is. Because of his eyesight Enda is a little bit of a jokester. He tends to be sarcastic about his impairment.
He has trained himself to even hear what eat letter stroke feels and sounds like so he can a) write by himself and b) hear if his servants/assistants are writing the right things on his notes. He also has made it so they all write slowly. Enda has also trained himself to detect lies by the sounds of people’s voices. He also tends to take people’s shoulders in his hands while he talks to them to detect if they are shaking in fear or what-have-you.

Extended Family:

{ H I S T O R Y }
Enda was born to Basque McNamara, and an unknown woman he has still no idea whom she was. He was born healthy, and had no issues whatsoever. He was a good child and read a good couple of books. His father wasn’t the best father but would sit Enda down and put him through Scenarios for hours during the time the church goers would have their Sabbath. Growing up with Basque was hard as he drank heavily and when Enda was 5 he would sometimes have to defend himself from his father’s antics. He was allowed however to spend days with the Princesses of the Western Kingdom; Twins Morgan and Moira Coughlan. There he pledged his loyalty to the two future Queens of the South and North. He also kept near the side of a young page when he was 9, she had been the same age as the two princesses. Her name was Anna.
 
When Enda was shy 10 years old and a page under his father, he was shoved by another page into a rock face. He smashed his head against a sharp rock and he cracked his head open. The last thing he remembers seeing was Anna running to go and get payback. When he came to, weeks later he had opened his eyes to find out that he couldn’t see anything. His father thought it was a fluke, but as days went by and Enda had to reteach himself how to walk and do things; Basque realized this was real. Enda was pulled from being a Page but each day he still dealt with the tactic simulations. He began to notice things, began to exercise his strengths, began to become sharper with detection. Everyday, Enda would lean his head on a table and write each letter on a piece of paper hearing the sounds as they hit the paper.

Enda had a lot of time on his hands and had gotten his tactics down pact on how to move about without his eyesight. At the age of 18 both of the princesses who had become his dear friends left to become Queens in their own Kingdoms. Then the war hit, Enda was only 18 and Basque was assassinated, when this happened the King and Queen of the Western Kingdom promoted Enda had been pushed into the beginning of a long war. The blind Commander worked with his assistants and servants and worked the Western Kingdom through the war. In the end, the Coughlans passed on and the Ni`Maoduins took place of their relatives. Along with Risteard, the new King, came the return of Anna. She had become the new Captain of the Guard who seemed to find Risteard as useless as Enda did.
