Vael

General
Vael appears seemingly out of nowhere in Grothmar Wardowns. He appears to know a bit about the character, but reveals very little about himself, other than that his favourite colour is Sage Green.

Appearance
Vael appears to be wearing the armour of a warrior, but wields daggers. He is an assassin.

Location

 * Grothmar Wardowns (follow the rabbit to your right as you enter from Longeye's Ledge)
 * Grothmar Wardowns as a collector that offers you Mask of the Mo Zing for 250 Superb Charr Carvings

BUG!? Note: Some players (1) have experienced Vael spawn only once, near the southernmost bridge in Grothmar Wardowns. At this encounter he has not been giving any quests. After encountering Vael this single time, he doesn't seem to spawn again, making his quests unavailable. If this is a bug or not is not yet known. ((If anyone else has experienced the same, please confirm this by erasing this last sentence and the "(1)" above in this paragraph))

He will also randomly spawn with you upon leaving an outpost. You must to talk to him outside of Longeye's Ledge in order for this to occur.

Quests

 * Be Quiet, Very Quiet

Trivia

 * When you first speak with him in Grothmar Wardowns and you can ask questions about Vael, the last question is "What is your favorite color?". This is a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Scene 35). This keeps up with a long line of Monty Python-related jokes ongoing throughout the game.
