Character Biography - Veiron

Veiron takes his position as a Hell's angel very seriously. He's disobedient and cocky, has an evil streak ten miles wide, and keeps everyone at a distance with his sharp tongue and dangerous appearance. Intelligent and calculating, he uses his wits in battle and in life, always determined to come out on top and be the victor, refusing to allow anyone to best him ever again.

He's a man of no regrets and he will do anything to upset the apple cart and change the path of his life for the better. Driven by a cold, hard hunger for vengeance, he's on a mission to end both Heaven and Hell, and if he can kill the Devil in the process, all the better. He despises Heaven almost as much as he hates Hell.

His past has coloured his feelings where angels are concerned and it takes a lot for him to trust anyone coming from above.

While he might appear dark, malicious, and soulless, Veiron is the kind of man who would die to protect someone he loves. He rarely lets anyone see beyond the veil of darkness he wears to his softer side hidden beneath, but under there, he's brave, powerful, courageous and loves with all of his heart.

In the second stage, the red drains from his feathers like blood, revealing black feathers which then fall away until his wings are dragon-like with dark membrane.

Black boots beneath his greaves. His vambraces are black decorated with red roses.

Character Interview

This special interview with both Veiron and Erin together took place on October 9th 2013, shortly after the release of Her Wicked Angel.

Felicity:: I have Veiron and Erin here with me today to talk about their book, Her Demonic Angel, and also about their roles in Her Wicked Angel. Firstly, can you tell us a little about yourself?
Erin:: Oh, I don’t know where to begin. I’m an artist and grew up in London, with my sister Amelia, who it turns out is some super bad-ass.
Veiron:: *gives her a sexy grin* You’re pretty bad-ass yourself, Sweetheart.
Erin:: *blushing* Maybe once in a while. But look who’s talking.
Veiron:: *grin widens*
Felicity:: Back to the introductions? I don’t want my eyeballs seared by you two snogging and I know we’re heading that way right now.
Erin:: Sorry. What was I saying? I keep forgetting things at the moment. Ah, that was it. I grew up in London, and was leading a pretty normal life until some big dumb Hell’s angels came and grabbed me and took me down to Hell and the Devil.
Veiron:: Big dumb Hell’s angels? *quirks a dark red eyebrow* I hope you’re not generalising with that one. *she shakes her head* Good. I’ll have it known I’m not dumb… but I am big. *throws her a salacious grin*
Felicity:: Just tell everyone about yourself so we can continue. You were an angel of Heaven once, a very long time ago, and were forced to fall as part of an eternal game between Heaven and Hell.
Veiron:: I was. I’m one of the pawns in their game. Marcus is Heaven’s pawn, and I’m Hell’s. Since all angels were born in Heaven, I always end up back there whenever the game is decided and I die. I get a few nice years as a good guy and then I fall. Nothing I do changes it.
Felicity:: So you’ll fall regardless of what you do? You can be a good guy, a perfect angel, totally dedicated to Heaven and everything that entails, and you’ll still fall?
Veiron:: Correct. I don’t get a choice and I don’t know it’s going to happen to me. All angels are reborn without memory of their previous life. The Devil is a little *bleep* though and whenever I fall and pledge myself to him, he restores all my memories. Did you just censor me?
Felicity:: Yes. Let’s try to keep the foul language to a minimum.
Veiron:: What the *bleep*! You did this to me last time you interviewed me too. You had better not censor me when I’m not swearing like you did then. You made some things sound rude and just plain wrong.
Erin:: *laughing* Don’t get him all growly. I have to put up with him after you’re all gone. I won’t hear the end of it.
Felicity:: Sorry. You both have experience of Hell. That realm features a lot in the latest romance in your series, Her Wicked Angel, as Asmodeus is also from there. What is Hell like?
Erin:: *shudders* I’m getting used to it now, but it’s a horrible place. It’s so grim and everything is black rough rock and boiling lava. It stinks too. I swear, you need about ten showers to get that stink off you when you get out of there!
Veiron:: It is as grim as she says. I spent centuries there and I was always eager to get out into the mortal realm. Most Hell’s angels are the same. We’ve tasted the fresh clean air of the mortal realm, and seen the beauty and it’s probably the closest thing to Heaven we’ll see… and we pine for that when we’re stuck surrounded by the black grim landscape of Hell.
Felicity:: I’m sure you can feel sorry for Asmodeus then as he had never left Hell in all his many millennia of living until the Devil sent him to Paris to retrieve Liora for him.
Veiron:: *nods* Damn right I can. I still can’t believe he’s back there, living in that realm. I can’t believe Liora is happy down there either.
Erin:: Liora is happy to be wherever Asmodeus is and they do sort of have to be there. It’s not like Asmodeus has a choice.
Veiron:: *shrugs* I guess you’re right. I don’t envy them though. Poor bastard can’t even form a contract with Liora to escape his *bleeping* master like I could with Erin.
Felicity:: You weren’t so enamoured with Asmodeus when you first met him, Veiron. Do you feel differently about him now?
Veiron:: *shrugs again* He’s not so bad. I kinda feel for the bloke. I mean, whenever he’s on the island with us all, Apollyon watches him constantly with an air of dark expectation and grimness, as if Asmodeus is just going to flip his lid and kill us all. I don’t think that’s the case. I think seeing the way everyone else reacts to him makes me a little less inclined to be hard on the bloke for being what he was born to be—pretty much evil. I still have an issue with him about what he did to Nevar, but then I also have an issue with Nevar about how he gave himself over to the darkness.
Erin:: Plus, he does help you fish for dinner. *he scowls* Admit it. You like having a buddy a little more like you… sort of an outcast… and he always has your back.
Felicity:: Aww. You have a new best friend!
Veiron:: *growls* He’s clingy.
Erin:: *shakes her head* Don’t listen to him. Asmodeus isn’t clingy… and who was it who got him drinking beers on the rocks during the sunset? Who taught him the lyrics to his favourite songs so they could rock out together at godawful hours in the morning? Who was it who pushed him into sparring sessions that last most of the day when he comes to visit… convincing him to go all out, even though that means we normally end up with half the island looking like a bomb has hit it?
Felicity:: *bites back a laugh*
Veiron:: *glares* Whatever.
Erin:: If anything, I would say that Asmodeus has a new best friend. Veiron has really taken to him. Don’t let him fool you. I think it’s nice though. I’m glad that the others are easing off too and not being so hard on him. When he first came to the island, I couldn’t ignore the similarities between his and Liora’s situation and what I went through with Veiron when we wanted to become part of the group. Everyone wanted to push Veiron away too.
Felicity:: Now you’re pretty much the powerhouse of the group. Let’s talk a little about your romance in Her Demonic Angel now. Can you tell us about what happened to bring you together?
Veiron:: All Hell broke loose in our story. It was pandemonium. The wheels were set in motion far quicker than any of us anticipated and we certainly didn’t expect that Erin would turn out to be a target. When Marcus and Amelia asked me to go to Hell, I knew it was important. They wouldn’t ask me to risk my neck going back down there if it wasn’t. I also knew that Marcus would never allow Amelia to head into Hell. It’s too dangerous for her. If she dies... well, we just have to keep her alive at all costs. I went because I knew the land well and could move around relatively undetected and with only minor problems as long as I stayed away from the Devil. I certainly wasn’t expecting to find such a beautiful and fiery woman as the object of my rescue mission.
Erin:: Aww. Man, I love you. *grins* Well, like he said really. One moment I was in my apartment and the next I was in some horror-movie cell in Hell with only three sides and one heck of a sheer drop into a river of lava. I actually met Asmodeus there for a brief moment… and then Veiron showed up, all smexy and dangerous, like a gorgeous warrior with his big sword. *blushes* Not that sort of sword though. I thought I was losing my mind and I wasn’t sure who to trust, but Veiron was there for me… and we went through so much and I might have lost my mind at one point because I did try to kill the Devil… well, that’s just crazy, right?
Felicity:: A little. But you still have plans to kick his arse?
Veiron:: How come you can say *bleep* and I… hey!
Felicity:: *snickers*
Erin:: *laughs* Oh, seriously, don’t… he’ll be moody about this for days.
Veiron:: Will not.
Felicity:: I won’t argue. I know better than to get into a round of “will not” — “will too” with you. Final question... huge events are in motion that could affect not only Heaven and Hell, but the fate of the mortal realm too. These events have brought together a rather motley crew of angels. What is it like working with them and do you think you can prevail?
Veiron:: I really think we can… but part of me hopes it’s a while before things kick off. *places his hand on Erin’s pregnancy swell* If you know what I mean? *I nod* It’s not going to be easy and there’s a piece of me that feels uneasy about it all. These are dangerous times and there is a lot at stake.
Erin:: *places her hand over his* They are and there is, but we’ll get through this together. We will all have each other’s backs and we won’t let anything bad happen to any of us. We’re a team and that’s the way we’ll fight—together.
Felicity:: Sage words. I’m sure you guys will prevail and pretty much save the world. Thank you for meeting with me today and chatting. Is there anything else that you’d like to add?
Erin:: Only that it was nice to be here and see you again, and that I bet you can’t wait to write Nevar’s story… I’ve heard readers are already impatient in their wait for it.
Veiron:: It was great being here, but can I get Erin home now?
Felicity:: You’re the impatient one. Off you go then. I know you just want to keep her safe.
