Vanno of Karos
MinorVanno's plump face and prominent underbite give him an awkward vulnerability that tugs at sympathies. Short hair frames eyes that hold quiet determination despite his losses. He lingers in the background like a reminder of war's quiet toll.
Vanno of Karos is introduced in Morning Star as a legless Gold youth confined to a hospital bed, a living casualty of the Institute’s brutal trials. His single, wordless appearance underscores the human cost of the Society’s hierarchy and briefly humanizes the gilded world Darrow has infiltrated. Though he never reappears, his silent presence lingers as an emblem of the countless young lives discarded by the system.
