The threadbare cloak begins as a simple marker of Vis's poverty in The Will of the Many, its frayed edges and thin fabric offering little defense against the cold. Across the series, this garment transforms from a passive symbol of hardship into an active element of Vis's identity, its very wear and tear becoming a testament to his endurance and resourcefulness. The cloak's evolution mirrors Vis's journey from powerless outsider to influential figure, with each tear and patch representing both sacrifice and survival.
