Appearance[]

Count Vega is a glamorous and flamboyant man in his early forties with black hair and blue eyes. He speaks with a slightly exotic accent and dresses rather appropriately for a Pirate Prince. After being imprisoned and tortured by Ghul, he was seen as a shell of his former self; however, he slowly began to recover after he and the other prisoners were freed by Drew and the children of the pirates of the Cluster Isles. He fights using a rapier. His shark form is that of a Great White Shark.

Personality[]

Count Vega is usually polite and charming, capable of easily interrogating prisoners. While many consider him untrustworthy because of his actions in the past, throughout the books he showed his loyalty to Drew and the Wolf's Council. After realizing that Leopold would never give him back what it was his, he decided that supporting Drew was a way of making amends for his past betrayal. He is also very protective of his son Casper, capable of murderous rage if someone endangers him.

Notes[]

Count Vega could possibly still be alive depending on how you interpret a conversation between Drew Ferran and Duke Bergan at the end of the 6th book. Quote:

~‘Some folk like privacy when they bury their loved ones. Shah will have taken Vega to somewhere that meant something to him, a place dear to his heart. Our friend deserved a fine bed for the long sleep.’

‘He didn’t look all that tired the last time I saw him,’ said Bergan, his whiskers twitching as he tried to hide a smile.~
