Vectron is somewhat difficult to pin down, as it's very nature is one that disdains holding symbols or methodology as sacred. It is the god of exploitative worship, of a faith that cares only for spreading itself and advancing its members. This has paradoxically resulted in a god who's sacred symbol is its lack of sacred symbols. Instead, each cult will appropriate or create a new symbol set. While this does result in the symbols being far weaker than would be typical it allows a cult to be quite open with its symbols. Typically Vectron cults will camouflage themselves as some other sort or organization, such as a warrior lodge, social club or business venture. Induction of new members is typically done by bringing them into the cover organization and then exposing them to corruptive sermons and rituals in the guise of activities typical for the cover organization. Due to the nature of vectrons mutable symbols, corruption is a slower but somewhat more insidious process than is typical. The cult will initially have no further aim or purpose but to grow itself and enrich the senior members, while this limits the damage it will do it makes them extremely difficult to detect. Worse still, Vectron cults are known to spontaneously switch to the worship of one of the traditional ruinous powers, or commit mass suicide as a form of sacrifice. Such drastic changes are far more likely if the cult is facing probable detection. It is believed that this may be the source of a number of cultists outbreaks that had no discernible source. Ultimately the creature seems to view it's cults as an investment, either selling or consuming them once their detection seems likely.

Since the birth of the abomination Vectron seems to have avoided being consumed despite very similar themes, how it has done so is not presently known. it has been noted that Vectron cults will switch to the worship of the abomination more than any other ruinous power, researchers are divided on if this is due to the creature being slowly absorbed, or an attempt by the entity to bribe the abomination. Investigating the relationship between the Abomination and Vectron may prove to be a fruitful, if dangerous avenue of study. Providing either a case study of divine politics, or a chance to study the slow assimilation of one god by another.

It is uncommon for even established cults to call forth Vectron's demons, instead, the leading Negotiator will usually maintain contact with the leader of the cult alone. Allowing the rest of the cult only rare glimpses of it. In the rare cases where the demon acts in the material world, the demon will need to be paid a hefty price in souls and even then will usually perform only a single task before returning to the warp. concerningly the demons seem cognizant of the need for secrecy, and will usually ask for a sacrifice that can be gathered covertly. In all known instances the creature was unbound upon summoning, the only enforcement of the deal is its own nature as a creature of bargains. While they are as the name suggests able diplomats, Negotiators are physically unimpressive, being no stronger than a well-trained human and often little more skilled than such. Strangely they do not seem to have set powers. When summoned a Negotiator will usually have a number of powers well suited for it's expected task, but it's abilities often seem to have limited number of uses. Eventually leaving it as an unusually fit and persuasive human. Another oddity is that unlike most demons they will seek to return to the warp as soon as possible once their mission is finished. Some sort of exploitive arrangement with their patron is likely the cause of this strange behavior.
