CHARACTER INFORMATION
Name: Sandoval
Canon: Oglaf, natch
Gender: Male
Age: Unknown, though it seems as if elves are very long-living and he is clearly an adult.
Species: Elf, as far as anyone can tell. It's unclear whether there's a difference between Xoan elves and other elves seen in canon, whether they call themselves something different, or anything of that sort.
Canon Point: Post-Croquembouche
History: Link to Sandoval's Oglaf Wiki page, along with links to all the strips he has been shown in:

Sandoval is the ambassador for the nation of Xoan, specifically to uphold relations with the Mistress. That is all that is really known about his backstory aside from what has occurred in the comic.
Personality: One of the most important aspects of speaking about his personality is his friendship with the Mistress, as most of the time his personality really shines through is when the Mistress is involved. Sandoval and Mistress seem to be very close friends. As such, he is shown constantly at her side, in mundane situations (or as "mundane" as Oglaf can be) such as in Emancipation or Portrait, or even stranger situations such as A Pinecone where they purposefully sexually harass Ivan the Apprentice for laughs, or Masquerade and Chastening where they both attend a masquerade orgy lavishly put on by the Mistress. They seem to have an extremely good relationship, even to the point of best friends, as shown in The Good Ship Ivan where she deliberately puts Ivan in harm's way just to please a drunken Sandoval. This also shows that he and the Mistress are pretty much awful people, and they're even more awful when they're together.
In terms of his sexuality, The Xoan Ambassador seems most interested in men and desserts. (I will, however, be playing him as essentially pan-and-pastry-sexual in the context of Apprentice Wanted unless the canon tells me otherwise, with a preference for men and/or pastries.) As far as his love of desserts goes, it's shown quite plainly in the strips Sweetmeats and Croquembouche, where in the first he immediately forgets about Ivan in order to flirt with the crème brûlée, and in the second he literally fucks the croquembouche and simultaneously fingers the gelatin. While he doesn't seem adverse to women lovers in any strips, the only person he is canonly shown to flirt with is Ivan the Apprentice. In A Pinecone, it's evident that he and the Mistress plotted the pinecone incident solely to get Ivan into a compromising situation with him. In the strips Sweetmeats, Masquerade, and Wager, he openly flirts with Ivan, even going so far in Masquerade as to attempt (rather poorly) to eat seductively, and later trick Ivan into oral sex again. It's also worth noting in Lament that the pin on his neck kerchief is two crossed penises, but this may be the national symbol of Xoan and not something Sandoval came up with himself.
It's unclear whether he really has any romantic feelings for Ivan - in Infffirmary he's shown being at his bedside, and despite getting Ivan in the situation in the first place, he seems to be fond enough of him to ignore the other two poison victims to stay with him; however, in Lament, he is quick to try and strangle the magically-sleeping Ivan so that he has a proper excuse to be dressed in his funeral outfit and mourn. However, he also seems to be legitimately torn over Ivan's "death", though it can be argued either way whether his tears are due to the funeral drugs or to his own feelings. My headcanon is that Sandoval truly does care about Ivan and would hate to see him actually die, but Sandoval is mostly sexually interested in him because of his general unattainability.
The only other thing that can be said for Sandoval is that he is remarkably... eccentric, to put it politely. In The Good Ship Ivan, Sandoval insists he be allowed to use the Apprentice as a rowboat. Admittedly, he was drunk, but he doesn't seem to get any better as the series progresses. In Sweetmeats after he flirts with Ivan, Sandoval suddenly starts yelling at the Apprentice that "there's no such thing as a time boat", and then proceeds to explain how to use a grandfather clock to paddle across an ocean of time. In Premature Requiem, when faced with the penalty of being boiled alive, Sandoval doesn't bat an eyelid. Further, when Ivan tries to force Sandoval to give him more antidote, he proceeds to dramatically set up a mysterious scenario for Ivan's death scene, even pulling out several lockets of himself from "a big bag of them" he just happened to have on hand. In Chastening, his big idea for a punishment for Ivan is dressing him up as a sexy tiger, to have a tiger hunt with butter, curtain tassels, and marmalade. Finally, in the epilogue of Infffirmary, he brings down part of a roast pig for the doctors to examine as a patient.
To sum Sandoval up, he's bizarre and downright awful, but an endearing elf who enjoys sex, desserts, and pranking poor apprentices with his BFF The Mistress.
Abilities/Weaknesses: Sandoval's abilities are mostly mundane. He does not seem to have any supernatural or magical abilities from any strips so far. This does not mean it's not possible he has them, it's just there's no canon evidence for it. However, it's clear that he's used to magic, as his best friend The Mistress is a very powerful sorceress.
Also, he seems to have a high poison tolerance, as in Masquerade he is shown telling Ivan the Apprentice that it has become fashionable in Xoan to poison all the food, and he later reveals in Infffirmary this includes the antidotes to the poisoned food, which Sandoval was shown drinking earlier in Masquerade. Past this, he's capable of ordinary human things and that seems to be it.
His weaknesses are Ivan the Apprentice, pastries and cakes, tiger hunts, and funeral drugs.

Sandoval was, in a word, bored. He'd spent all morning making checklists of apprentices he wanted to fuck, lustily eying the cakes the bakers were preparing for the feast that evening, and purposefully wrecking some rooms so that a few of the apprentices might get in enough trouble to warrant a tiger hunt – hopefully with butter and curtain tassels.
But now Sandoval just had nothing to do. It wasn't that he couldn't find anything to do, but having such an eventful day led to him having a rather lazy afternoon. But he couldn't stop at just being lazy, dammit, he had to be entertained! His job as the Ambassador meant he couldn't just sit around on his (admittedly striking and perfectly well-formed) ass all afternoon – though he could still shirk his duties, an Ambassador who was lazy was just downright unprofessional!
As he gave a drawn-out sigh and began to move from his comfortable position laying on a couple of cushions while watching a few nubile slave-boys oil each other up, he noticed one of the fuckable apprentices hurrying around on the outskirts of the room. Finishing up their chores, most likely. That was when Sandoval suddenly got an idea. Practically grinning from pointed ear to pointed ear, Sandoval got up, quickly motioning to the slave-boys when they halted their hands and stared up at the Ambassador. "No no, keep going, don't stop on my account," he chirped encouragingly, before striding over to the apprentice.
"You there, Apprentice... what's your name? Oh, never mind, I'll just call you pudding. Listen, pudding, I need someone to take me to the kitchens. It is of high diplomatic importance that I be escorted to the kitchen, and I am sure the Mistress would agree with me on this. Do you understand?" He waited for the apprentice to give him a nod, an emphatic yes, something, but the poor thing just stood there blinking at him.
"So shall we?" Sandoval held out his arm for the other with a smile, delighted when the other begrudgingly took his arm. "Thank you, pudding. I will be sure to tell Mistress all about how helpful you've been!" And with that, he strode out of the room, leading the apprentice more than the apprentice was leading him. He just hoped that one of the cakes was available for fucking, or he would have to resort to making sweet sweet love to Pudding one one of the kitchen tables. Still, it would be an eventful afternoon, nonetheless.
