Vaati (RPG)



Vaati (real name unknown) is a Minish mage empowered with supernatural powers, a second-in-command to Evaleen and an important member of the Rebellion.

Physical Appearance
Although widely claimed to be a Minish, Vaati's true form had not been seen for centuries by the time of the Gerudo Wars. In his most widely seen form, he resembles a male Hylian or Sheikah, highly neotenous and androgynous, and often mistaken for an adolescent. His pale skin and light peach hair highly contrast against his blood red eyes, allowing him to blend among Sheikah.

On occasions, Vaati takes on a less coherent form resembling a swarm of bats, crowned with golden horns and surrounding one red eye.

Personality
Vaati is an immensely intelligent, malicious and conscientious being. He is not only quick to pick up on the strategies of his enemies, but also has a high level of understanding of their internal workings and motivations, such as correctly guessing Mido's anguish is caused by a combination of sexual and emotional frustration. His high intelligence, physical prowess and magical power lend to an immense ego and apathy towards human life. He has a streak of sadism, rape, and enjoys torturing his victims mentally and physically. He is quick to antagonize those who resist him, such as Impa, whom he nearly scares into submission.

His true workings and motivations are masked nearly completely by his abrasive exterior. He has a foul mouth and a depraved sense of humor, swinging between vile tricks, toilet humour and a bizzare propensity for sexual jokes. The only thing which is clear is that he is extremely loyal to Evaleen, and is seemingly one of the very few people to understand her.

Ancient Age
Vaati's origins are lost to myth. Stories surrounding him claim him to be a Minish, empowered by a powerful artifact known as the Minish cap. After causing the downfall of his civilization, Vaati became an immortal trickster, committing himself to hedonism, crime and murder for many centuries. His exploits at the time earned him the reputation of a scourge upon humanity, a title he would maintain until the birth of Ganon.

At some point, Vaati encountered Evaleen, and became one of the founding members of the Rebellion.

During his invasion of Hyrule, allegedly Vaati confronted Ganon in a magic duel, wishing to prove himself the more powerful wizard. However, Ganon easily defeated Vaati, and commited such horrible torture and humiliation against him that it drove Vaati to erase his name from history and reinvent his personality, adopting the name he would be known from then on.

Trivia

 * In the original Gaiaforums post for The Fallen Sage, Felonius is stated to be a reincarnation of Vaati, referring to a pre-release plot point in which he would have transformed into him in Misery Mire. This was contradicted in both the release version of Fallen Sage and the comic, in which Vaati and Felonius are separate characters.
