Verðandi

Verðandi is a mole and Guiche's familiar. He is noted to be the size of a small bear. He burrows underground to move around and is able to keep up with a horse during the trek to La Rochelle. He is fond of quite gems and shares his master's interest in girls.

Verðandi's name is, in Old Norse, the present participle of the verb "verða" or "to become" in English.
