technically he's a veterinarian. Xeno-veterinarian since moving to Io though he prefers Qothos.
some trivia/tie ins:
erebos [the man] is ezrael's vet for lileos, her qothari war hound. he's a vet vet, get it? veteran veterinarian. like 99% of veil, he served in the great war.
lileos liked erebos before ezrael hit on him, subsequently she hit on him because her dog liked him.
all veil have a sort of 'complex' about Ezrael, which means the various govts of the drake worlds and moons all have lopsided polls when it comes to matters like: sending the reapers to exterminate her. Veil, all Veil, were enslaved by the Riftavians who Ezrael thoroughly genocided out of existence post planetary absconding. All Veil therefore see her as a savior and have a hero-worship thing going on towards her. She also single-handedly saved them and the entirety of the Emanians who were evacuating the planet by speeding up the evacuation days earlier, resulting in a significant portion of the population to successfully make it off-world and into space. Ezrael does not respond positively to the glamor and finds it disgusting and an insult because she firmly believes she is no hero, can't be redeemed and could have and should have saved more. Nonetheless, all Veil are effectively at her disposal, though she has to date, never taken advantage of it. Likewise, she considers the Veil to be more 'her people' than her own species, as many Abyss had Riftavian mothers or sperm-donors [male riftavians were far too miniscule to successfully breed a female veil. it would be like a chihuahua trying to fuck a horse. yes horse, not great dane. horse. veil are HUGE and rifts were 30 pounds of fuzz] and retain a significant animosity towards Ezrael for utterly decimating them in entirety. While Veil too were partnered [pre-abscond from emain] to rifts sometimes, it was almost entirely non-consensual as veil were merely property, and thus any grievance they may have held was dropped in favor of true freedom which Ezrael granted them.
to date ezrael has never killed not eaten a veil. she has however killed dozens of abyss and thousands of riftavians, cannibalizing both. to kill a veil is something she would avoid at all costs, as she sees her family in them. [family relating to my novel]
Veil males and females can breed with Abyss, but the offspring will always be abyss. Also, abyss females and males are rather incompatible partners due to lacking the respective gentital glands that male and female veil have. nonetheless, manual stimulation of said glands with fingers can enhance the conjugal experience and both parties will be able to reach 'satisfaction'. Like humans, the more a pair is into one another, the more likely the experience will be pleasurable for them both.
