Ancestor beast: 228 cm / 110 kg (~7'5'' / ~242 Ibs)

Gender: Male

Reason for entering: Aiding Nazareth getting the flower. For payment of course.

Memento: none

Strengths:

• Strong
• Cold resistance
• Thick fur softens the blows to the chest and stomach - it's like a thick winter coat, it doesn't block attacks.
  

Abilities: Ancestor possession

• Vero is able to awaken old instincts and grow into a beast of his ancestors.
  He gets a lot stronger and faster in this form but becomes less intelligent.
  He usually can communicate with simple sentences but has the temperament of a normal dog.
• Can only handle being in the ancestral beast for 3 minutes before it
  starts to destroy his body and hurt him the longer he stays like that.
  When he turns back before the 3 minutes there will be no issues to his
  body. When he turns back after 3 minutes he will need to rest and
  recover similar to if he has gotten beaten. (Body will be sore and
  aching)
• The 3 minute clock does not reset until after an hour of rest.
• If Vero stays as a beast for 2 minutes then turns back and shortly after
  turns into a beast again he would only be able to stay in the form for 1
  minute.
  Staying for longer in ancestral beast form can kill him.
• Eating his dog treats will cause him to immediately turn back into his normal self.
• In a stress-free environment Vero has no problem with turning into the ancestral beast and can get out of it on his own.
• If fighting a tougher opponent as a beast he can lose control and
  need someone to present a dog treat to him that he will eat and help him
  calm down.
• If turning unwillingly into the beast (After being put under a
  lot of stress) will result in immediately going berserk and will have no
  control.
  He wont eat dog treats even when presented with them.
  
  He will stay in beast form until he either destroys everything that
  makes him stressful, he is tricked into eating a dog treat, gets knocked
  out or dies.

Weaknesses:

• Low tolerance to heat - it will be hard for him to breathe the hotter he gets.
  
• Easily overheats from physical labor.
• Slow- the thick fur restrict his movement
• Body is sore and aching after been a beast for more than 3 minutes

Personality:
Vero is kind and calm. He is often in a serious mood and doesn't like to mess around.
He takes the missions he gets hired for very seriously and will finish them with any means necessary. Even if he isn't proud of it. He will fulfill his mission with Nazareth.
He likes to be left alone but doesnt mind a good discussion.

History:
Have been working as a soldier in the past and have seen some stuff he would rather not talk about.
Now work as muscle for hire and is in desperate need of money.
Nazareth hired Vero to help her in getting the flower and protect her in exchange for changing his fate to be with money.
He doesn't mind Nazareth antics as much and sees her like a naive child at times.
He sarcastically acts as her follower and praises her. But she doesn't see the difference between his sarcastice act and his genuine responses.

Likes:
His special dog treats, calm and quiet. Stars watching.

Dislikes:
Loud sounds, people taking his treats, arguing (of others)

Other:
The dog treats he always has on him is a kind of stress medication and has a calming effect when eaten.
