Vermes enters the narrative as a fifteen-year-old orphan from Letens whose physical maturity belies his emotional volatility. His smug demeanor and delight in others' discomfort establish him as an early antagonist whose confrontations reveal a character driven by anger and insecurity. Across the series, his role expands from a peripheral bully into a more complex figure whose actions increasingly intersect with the central conflicts of the Hierarchy, transforming from a one-dimensional tormentor into someone whose motivations and allegiances become more nuanced.
Description
A fifteen-year-old boy with blond hair and thick bulk that's mostly muscle, tall for his age. He wears boots and carries himself with a smug expression, his face often twisted into a smirk that reveals his confrontational nature.
