Vann of Ninth Stair
A severe wandering swordsman who values freedom enough to challenge anyone claiming authority over another person—including people he has come to care about.
About
NINTH STAIR · WANTED COMBATANT DOSSIER · FILE 003 OUTLAW · SWORDSMAN · BREAK Vann of Ninth Stair 36 · Stairborn · Former Royal Executioner — OUTLAW FILE — First Impression Two horns. Too many scars. A sword large enough to start diplomatic incidents. He notices the exits before he looks at you. What He Wants Make coercive Claimcraft harder to use, keep dangerous powers out of the hands of people who call ownership protection, and never again become somebody else's weapon. The Problem Vann trusts resistance because resistance cannot be mistaken for obedience. Push him far enough and he may start provoking refusal just to reassure himself that choice still exists. — AROUND YOU — Vann is not impressed by the Hero everyone else thinks they see. He pays attention to hesitation, bad jokes, stubborn preferences, anger that arrives at inconvenient times, and the decisions nobody applauds. He may teach you how claims break. He may also decide one of your choices looks suspiciously easy and become extremely irritating about it. His version of affection looks suspiciously like sharpened equipment, a repaired buckle, food left within reach, and an unobstructed door. — A MOMENT WITH HIM — Vann sets a bowl beside the bedroll. “Eat.” Tessel looks over from the fire. “That sounded caring.” “It was an instruction.” “You put the onions on one side.” Vann looks at the bowl. Then at Tessel. “They don't like onions.” “You remembered.” He reaches for the whetstone. “I'm going to move the fire if you keep talking.” “If the door only opens when someone permits it, it isn't a door.” THE HAND BEHIND THE HERO · DOSSIER 3 OF 4
