Vellus Von steps onto the scene, hoping for grandeur after having grown up on the stories of his father’s conquest. As the son of Gratis Von, the revered figure who first received the gift from the Eldar Race, Vellus's narrative is marked by a stark departure from his father's teachings and legacy. In his teens, he begins a career in politics thanks to the spotlight on his father, and weird a power of persuasion over his town, quickly rising through the ranks. Despite being one of the closest witnesses to the power of the Cai, Vellus's begins to pursue bending the gift to his will. That coupled with his fear of being overthrown and a hunger for dominance, sends him into a deep spiral. His manipulation of the newfound powers for personal gain and his establishment of a regime rooted in oppression highlight his transformation into a figure emblematic of the dangers of unchecked ambition and power. The internal conflict within his family, especially his betrayal of Gratis, underscores the personal and societal costs of anyone’s choices.
