Rend Z. Vous

Rend Z. Vous is the captain of Every Star Station and the employer of the player characters. Not much is known about his past, but he takes his job very seriously and cares about the members of his crew. He, as well as several other members of Every Star, is apparently several hundred years old.

Mortal Realm (Fallcrest)
The party, consisting of only Aelar, Numan , and Terrios at the time, first meets Vous after their battle with Czech, who had attacked the heroes for intruding. He threatens to blow the place up, and Vous intervenes to punish him for his rash actions. With their secret base revealed, Vous offers to hire the heroes as members of his crew.

Shinaclestra
As a test of their mettle, Vous accompanies the heroes to Shinaclestra, where their first mission will take place. After Vous helps the heroes take down the vastly overleveled Dormin, a deity who'd spread disease among his ex-followers, Vous leaves the heroes under the command of Malareth, whose survival greatly surprises the players. Vous returns two weeks later to learn of Malareth's demise, and brings the heroes back to Every Star.

Seiken
Shortly after the heroes returned from their second mission in the Mortal Realm, a frantic Vous comes to them with an unexpected mission on which they are to leave immediately. Rynew, the crew's most important member, had run off to an uncharted world by herself and gotten lost. Vous decides to send an electronic message to the heroes explaining the mission details later once he's had time to calm down. Within a month, Rynew is safely returned to an overjoyed Vous.

Ivalice-Letherna
Vous has a very important mission for the heroes to go on, but it involves the Shadowfell, and Numan refuses to go there. Thus, Vous is forced to split the party in two and send half on a different mission. Allegretto, the newest member, is sent on the Shadowfell mission due to its importance and is given a private letter from Vous before departing.
