Vek Smekley

-A former archivist of the DeWonti Trade Consortium; initial appraisal of his abilities shows promise for recruitment, however his his strong self-preservation instinct may indicate against entrusting him with sensitive material of any kind.

-After locating the dead body of an acquaintance who had apparently been killed by the Consortium, he himself was targeted for execution, but managed to flee; he sought the aid of Keojrah-Glynt Company due to our existing rivalry/hostilities with DeWonti, in hopes that he could trade information for protection.

-Chemical interrogation and follow-up on his leads have corroborated his claims; though it is hypothetically possible that resisted these methods, and that our successful mission on the abandoned Fungal Farm was a ploy to gain our trust, I believe the existence of the Procuratia to stand in contradiction to this possibility, as I do not believe Lady von Tarquinius would have risked (or chosen to use) discovery of such valuable and heretical tools in such a scheme. Indeed, I believe it was the discovery of the Procuratia's existence that led Vek's acquaintance to be terminated, as he had apparently been investigating the disappearances of the women that I believe were to undergo the proxy procedure.

-Vek's information has further provided us with the ability to decrypt DeWonti transmissions, and possible access to the Starlight's Boon. Both assets, however, are unlikely to be useful more than once.
