Favorite Color?
Love the Monty Python refference. xD --Curin Derwin 00:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Bump. How is this a Monty Python reference? Is not like monty python asked this question for the first time in the history. He doesn't answer blue or yellow. No one is asking "Why?" in the movie. There is absolutely no other clue that this could be a Monty Python reference.--SharkinuUser Sharkinu sig.png 12:08, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me, What else could it refer to. T1Cybernetic [[File:User T1Cybernetic Glob of Ectoplasm.png]] 12:15, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Does it have to be a reference to something? IMO is just a simple question to give some personality to the NPC.--SharkinuUser Sharkinu sig.png 12:18, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Monty Python: "What is your name? What is your quest? What is your favorite color?" Vael: "Who are you? What is it you do? What is your favorite color?" Same wording, same tone, utter lack of context if you haven't seen the movie (as Vael himself points out). By this point in the game's history, I think it's safe to say that the developers assume you have seen the movie. --Irgendwer 13:31, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

He's awesome ^_^. dom · (talk) 19:13, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yep, move over Koss, we got a new king of cool Sadie2k 02:13, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * not hard considering koss was a chump in the first place... and we do have a king of cool. Vekk. -TehBuG-


 * Vael is way more awesome than Vekk. He's undercover, see? --dom · (talk) 13:23, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Spawning requirements
Does anyone know the pre-requisites for getting him to spawn in the middle of Grothmar Wardowns and offer Be Very, Very Quiet? -- Gordon Ecker 04:21, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * linsey said that you had to do all quests from the Ebon vanguard and gwen(irc) and after that he woud spawn randomly to help you ~ Kurd [[Image:User Kurd sig.png]] 13:08, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * You just have to complete the Vanguard primary quest line - [[Image:User Linsey Murdock sig.jpg]]Linsey talk 00:08, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I've completed the primary quests, and he spawns in Gothmar, but doesn't give the quests.. something I missed? Me55enger 15:03, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Correction, I was looking at the wrong spawn location.. re-zoned and Vael turned up across the river.. Might update wiki to reflect this. Me55enger 15:44, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

There must still be a real bug here: I completed the primary vanguard quests, then went for the quests from captain. during that, he spawned in the wardowns, i could talk to him, but no quests were given. now i finished all the quests from the captain and he wont spawn again in the wardowns. he now only spawns in the uplands and the valley to help me fighting, but i can't talk to him, nor can i get anymore quests. --Ineluki 12:58, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * i dont get how to find him in sacnoth valley. it says he spawns random but i cant find him at all. or do i need to have an special requirement to get the second quest from him? --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:217.231.72.148 (talk).
 * Which quest? Be Very, Very Quiet... is obtained from Vael in Grothmar Wardowns after completing Assault on the Stronghold and Single Ugly Grawl Seeks Same for Mindless Destruction in Ascalon is obtained from Vael in Sacnoth Valley after completing Forbidden Fruit. The other two quests, Forbidden Fruit and Plan A, are obtained from Captain Langmar in Grothmar Wardowns. -- Gordon Ecker 21:51, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I've found he always spawns, if solo in Dalada Uplands :) Tong2 15:17, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

"Fists... er, blades... er, weapons of fury!" Trivia
"Fists... er, blades... er, weapons of fury!"

May refer to Bruce Lee's Movies Fists of Fury

or

The UFS card game...one of the cards is called Blades of Fury --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Coridan.
 * Uuuuh, no dont think so ~ Kurd [[Image:User Kurd sig.png]] 19:20, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure the reference is Fists of Fury and then then movie Blades of Fury..DarkNecrid 17:52, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

RE: Rabbit hole
How is this a tease for the rabbit hole? Almost every player is going to encounter the rabbits in Drakkar Lake before they get here. It's more like following the rabbits to meet Vael is some PR for making the bunnies seem all cute and innocent again. Yukiko 21:23, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You might be thinking *teaser?* i recon it was a tease, cos it sure made me think twice about following bunnies for a second time :p T1Cybernetic 22:41, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah lol, i followed them verrrrry slowly and had all my heroes put up prots...i even sent poor vekk down the path as bait first time i saw that bunny XD Nalana [[Image:User Nalana Darkling Blue Eye2.jpg|19px]] Talk  21:55, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

No, It got me. I ignored Norn and just ran Vanguard, so all I saw was pretty bunnies. Later in Drakkar I saw more pretty bunnies. ...the horror...the horror...  74.166.44.177 15:52, 8 April 2009 (UTC)Dark Aidget


 * Why is this comment even on Vael's page? There is no tie in given for why this applies to Vael specifically.  The only connection between Vael and the rabbit seems to be that both are in Grothmar Wardowns.  I am removing the rabbit reference.  42 -  talk  06:04, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Captain Osric similarities
I think this guy may well be Osric from Prophicies...just so many similarities. A. This goes along with the theme of tying up loose ends with Prophicies (he disapears after yaks bend, right after Rurik's death), B. He has a quote saying he was the one telling the King that Rurik died, coinsiding with his disapearance. 3. He knows alot about you (though this might be because he has been on 3 continents) and 4. He has the same armor, with a V on it, he wore in Prophicies.--Warior kronos 15:24, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Similar character skins don't count. -AyaStowar
 * It's the standard bearded vanguard model. Used by plenty of characters. Backsword 07:47, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Few years have passed between prophecies and eye of the north, it is a nice theory. I don't think it should be noted as trivia for vael or osric, but i like it. lussh 08:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

WHAT IN JAHOVA'S WITNESS!?
no quests in my log and this guy falls outa my ass!?--Rella 04:24, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * ya same thing happened to me. I was doing Fire And Pain... he kept agrooing the boss because we wiped, and he kept dieing and ressing. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:99.248.49.159 (talk).


 * Read the article and you'll know what he's for. -- ab.er. rant [[Image:User Ab.er.rant Sig.png| ]] 02:47, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

What armor is this, Vanguard?
Topic. =] I have to know, for my sin. Taka Ragranok 04:45, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not available to players ~ Kurd [[Image:User Kurd sig.png]] 09:58, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

V?
Nothing mentioned about the "V" on his chest?... Not even a Superman Reference?! Blasphomy. -- StimpsonJKat 03:25, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It's probably not a reference, many of the Ebon Vanguard NPCs have the same model. -- [[Image:User Gordon Ecker sig.png]] Gordon Ecker (talk) 03:38, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * V for Vendetta? No. V for Vanguard! -- Azazel The Assassin\talk 03:46, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * The Ascalon Vanguard also use the model. There's also a similar model with a different face. -- [[Image:User Gordon Ecker sig.png]] Gordon Ecker (talk) 04:01, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

"I'm a gentleman spy..."
Reminded me of... THIS: (The spy from Team Fortress 2). Any thoughts? Paddymew 16:14, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Osric
Anyone else notice he uses the same model as Captain Osric, and knows a lot about your character? Could it be that he is Osric in disguise?Dakiller 22:26, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree I think he is Osric too, just look at his dialog he was there when Rurik died, he disappeared, he says Vael isn't his real name, there's too much supporting it. - Giant Nuker 23:33, 8 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Just realized he looks the same as Sgt. Weststar as well. 85.19.140.9 12:45, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

What, no mention of the rabbit in pre? Thought this was well-known? Tong2 22:56, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Pls help - ANDY --

Whispers Agent???
I've always thought he might be an agent for the Order of Whispers. From the the GW2 lore, we know that the Order has spread to all three continents and that they were the only group aside from the dwarves to know about the elder dragons, and the way he's all secretive definitely tracks with the way the Master of Whispers acted during the Nightfall storyline. Maybe the Order already has agents outside Elona by this point... --Jyotir Managatim 18:07, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

See Bahltek
Why? Are there ties between these two? DemonicFahrir 13:35, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

Huge shadowstep
So i was running a tour of eotn, when my runnee went up to talk to Vael, since he never did that before. I was running happily until Vael suddenly appeared in front of me. I was about at the other end of Gothmar Wardowns, near the portal to Dalada uplands. Does he ALWAYS shadowstep to the party leader even though he's out of earshot?

Sacnoth Valley locations
anywhere? even hints or vague directions? He has the last Ebon Vanguard skill I need yet finding him is like trying to find a leprechaun. Impossible. Previously Unsigned 21:01, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Vael name
He's name can be used by the books of eragon, where Vrael was a Dragon Rider Wich got killed.
