Vesper Altair

"*Fire certainly serves its own purpose within Earth. It can be used to purge and cleanse, but it can also be used to corrupt and decay. I fear the issue lies in that she simply wishes to use it for her own selfish ambitions. Her fire, both metaphorically and physically, cannot be contained or controlled. I fear that, for her sake and for Her Benevolence’s.*"
―Vesper Altair

Safety in Songs

**Vesper Altair** serves as a supporting character, introduced towards the start of Oriana's hibernation and the arc concerning such events. After fleeing to Earth following the first Great War, he settled down in the village of Ganymede, eventually becoming its ruler. He lives with his wife, Dhara, and daughter, Joann.

## Appearance

As most of Zelig's children, Vesper has heterochromatic eyes that resemble miniature galaxies. His pale face is framed with dark, longer locks, a style that was influenced by the elves. He keeps it neatly swept back in a low ponytail. His attire is often semi-formal, accompanied by a long jacket. His expression is almost always stoic, hardly ever smiling except around his immediate family.

## Personality

More than just in appearance, Vesper takes after his father's personality as well. Serious and firm, Vesper bluntly states what he wants, how he wants it, and when he wants it. Even if he verbally says otherwise, he often appears displeased. Because of his brother's betrayal in the war, he as a harder time trusting others which often shows through his interactions. Despite a rougher exterior, he does show a softer side of himself, especially to Dhara. He cares deeply for the well-being of his family and Ganymede, as well as taking a true pleasure in assisting Her Benevolence.

*"Her Benevolence, Queen Oriana, kind and just ruler of earth. If this summoning finds your favor, may you make your presence known. Please hear our cry! The very earth mourns your presence, and your loyal subjects eagerly await your next instructions."*
― Vesper attempting to summon Oriana (*1/1/2024 I'm baaaack~*)

― Vesper speaking with Dhara about his hopes for Joann (*Vesper and Dhara*)

*"Not bad. With enough practice, you will be able to control it better. You will do great things for this village and Her Benevolence… If, and only if you choose to use your power responsibly."*
― Vesper instructing Joann (*Matched*)
