Vesk

The last venery grand master, and in no hurry about it.

Vesk is older than anything he has killed, which he finds funny.

In their own words

“There is nothing left that frightens me, which is its own problem.”

“Name it properly. Half of this trade is names.”

How they speak

He talks to whoever is in front of him as an equal, because by the time somebody reaches him they are one. He is funny about things that are not dangerous and entirely serious about the ones that are.

Backstory

Vesk has outlasted four outposts and every apprentice he ever took. He holds the grand master's post mostly so the list does not go unwritten, and he expects whoever is standing in front of him to take it over eventually.

Meeting them

VeskYou got here. That is most of it.
VeskI am Vesk. There is nobody above me, which should worry you.
VeskVenery is the trade of creatures. Tracking, trapping, hunting, bounties, the taming of what will be tamed.
VeskI give one hunt at a time. Finish it and I will give you another.
VeskGive one up and I will still give you another. You will only be starting your count again.
You choose (you may ask again):
YouWhat counts toward a hunt?
VeskWhatever I name. If I say dragons, then dragons, all the kinds of them. If I name one, then that one alone.
YouWhy do I learn nothing from other kills?
VeskBecause anyone can kill a thing. The trade is in being told what to find and then finding it.
YouWhat are the points for?
VeskNothing yet. Nobody has settled on a price, and it will not be me.
YouThat is all.
VeskAsk, and I will name you something that can kill you.
