![]() ![]() Veovis is comfortable among politicians, believes in sacrificing everything to keep D’Ni ways and D’Ni blood pure. He and Veovis are such opposites that it’s a wonder they ever became friends. And now that I have talked about the villains (because the villains are always the backbone of a Myst story), I will talk about the “heroes.” Aitrus is a quiet, curious, very honorable, and intelligent protagonist – so much so that it is, naturally, difficult to dislike him in any way. He can turn best friends against each other, while pretending to be their ally. A’Gaeris, the real villain of the story, is the sort of conniving, twisted, and slimy little creep that I love to hate. But he also wouldn’t be Veovis without it. ![]() I would feel a whole sorrier for him if it weren’t for his arrogance. But also more than a little eaten up with D’Ni arrogance, which eventually leads to an overwhelming hatred for his best friend (who has, in Veovis’s eyes, betrayed and polluted the D’Ni people and D’Ni ways) and turns him into something of an anti-hero. A lord’s son who commands the respect of the elder councilors, who always gets what he wants, and who is a good friend when he has an invested interest in being your friend. Characters: I’m saying this right off: If The Book of Ti’ana ever gets turned into a movie, Tom Hiddleston has to play Veovis. ![]()
