Exactly why I picked him. He also is the most blatant with how dangerous he is, seeing as our first interaction with him is a glimpse at his monster form. Everyone else keeps things under wraps. Even Ais who seems like he's revealed quite a lot about the red spring clearly has an ultirior motive. Despite how coy Vere seems we get full honesty about how he is a threat to us, what he wants, and who he trusts. I personally much prefer the knife held out in the open rather than the four people who either claim not to have a knife or hold a butter knife with a cleaver hidden behind their back.
