~ Vaneé to Thom Hudd about his service to Darth Vader.
Vaneé is a supporting antagonist in the Star Wars franchise.
He was played by Martin Gordon in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and voiced by Tony Hale in LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales, who also played Doctor Undergear in Jake and the Never Land Pirates, James Suggs in Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip, Ross in The Angry Birds Movie, Phillip Shoemaker in Law & Order, the Joker in Batman Ninja, Apothecary Gary in Amphibia, Doctor Psycho in Harley Quinn and Reverend Traske in Hocus Pocus 2.
The Imperial inspector before Vaneé was born appears to be a healthy, though pale, old man. After becoming Vader's servant, he became wrinkled, and deathly pale. Rogue One and Terrifying Tales portray his skin to be fair colored, while all of the Vader's castle comics make his skin pure pale chalk white. He also sports a cadaverous appearance in the Vader's Castle comics, were he has semi rotten teeth, gums, and a corpse-like complexion. It could be just the way the illustrator wanted him to look, or it could be that his skin turns pale white and his appearance gets more corpse like whenever the Dark Side is fueling him. Most of the time, as shown in Rogue One, Vaneé has dark green eyes, but whenever the Dark Side is filling him and he is acting evil, they turn red. Vaneé is dressed in a dark cloak similar to the ones worn by Sith Lords, except that inside of his hood it is colored purple.
Personality[]
According to Mustafarian legend, the Imperial Inspector persona before Vaneé came was shown to be prideful, selfish and arrogant, unwilling to listen to ranks lower than him. He also seemed to look down on people as shown he wouldn't listen to the crazy stormtrooper and called him a "brute." He seems to believe everything would go well if he meets a subject of Palpatine, such as Vader, and that he would not dare to hurt him. The Inspector realized his folly after Vader locked him in the chamber room, forcing him to inhale lava fumes. Even in the midst of this he exclaimed that Vader can't scare him because he is a professional imperial officer and that he laughs at such "notions." He laughed, but that made him laugh uncontrollably for days until he became a complete lunatic, He lost his mind, technically a dead person. The old persona and entity was wiped clean, replaced by a newly created separate entity persona, Vaneé. Vaneé was a sentient persona that entirely replaced the Imperial Inspector, and was, in its own rights, an entity created from the Force lingering Lava Fumes themselves and was first made as a lunatic that laughs while saliva came out of his mouth. However the first thing Vaneé heard as it came to life was to serve Vader.
Vaneé's psychopathy.
If this legend was true, then it came to be that Vaneé started to learn how to be sophisticated, and gained sanity. He is very "loyal" to his master and treated Vader like a god, and is shown not to be concerned if and imperial authority arrives, claiming they have no right to judge in his master's fortress. Vaneé became more evil and crazy than he ever was before, he laughs with a sadistic smile and always seems to enjoy the suffering of other people, as shown when he was torturing Hudd on the torture web. Being mentally ill, Vaneé at first lacked morality, however as he gained sanity, he had clear morality, he says he lives to serve, and that he never really cares about being good. He even fully considers himself evil, as he said to Hudd that the Dark Side always wins in the end, and wishes an "Empire of darkness" with his master. He can at times act like a professional polite man, like the time when Krennic came to visit Vader's castle. Vaneé doesn't even have sympathy for children, given that he pulled the young Mustafarian boy named Giggek down his own prison to die. Even after Vader imprisoned Vaneé for his failure and locked him up in a pit, he was still willing to serve his master given that he, in his eyes, is the embodiment of fear. After escaping his prison after Vader's death, he started to get depressed that Vader died, given that no one else is to terrorize the galaxy, that is before he heard the voice of his master. Ever since escaping Vader's castle, Vaneé was exposed to the lava fumes, which caused him to hallucinate when hearing the seeming voice of his master's "ghost." He eventually came to realize the fumes were playing tricks with him and he wanted to be free from his illusions, Vaneé idolizes Vader, but he does not want to get tricked by something else. Ultimately, Vaneé cares for himself, he loves fear and evil and wishes to inflict chaos and torture upon the galaxy. In Vaneé`s eyes, Vader is a perfect example of spreading fear. Vaneé doesn`t particularly care about Vader, he only treats him like a god because he found the perfect embodiment of fear in his eyes, and also he has great fear of Vader. In Lego Star Wars Terrifying Tales, Vaneé is shown to speak in the third-person all the time.
Vaneé: I would advise that you leave... But it is far too late for that. I have seen and marked you. My master will learn of your visit. Ren: Yeah, what`s your name friend? Vaneé: I am called Vaneé.
„
~ Vaneé to the Knights of Ren, when they invade Fortress Vader
“
Ren: Not so sure about your plan, Vaneé. How are you gonna tell Vader about us... If you`re dead? Vaneé: You are fools. My master is very protective over his possessions... of which, I am one. I am in no danger. But I cannot say the same... for you.

Star Wars Adventures: Tales From Darth Vader's Castle[]
“
Master, this is Vaneé. Spy droids have identified Rebel forces within the castle. Master! They have found me!
„
~ Vaneé to Darth Vader on a comlink.
“
XM-G3: Tell me what the Empire is doing here, or I will open fire. Vaneé: Heh he, I would like to see you try, metal man. XM-G3: Wait? How are you doing this? Vaneé: Me? You think this is me? HAHAHAHAHA! It is my master. You have invoked his WRATH.
„
~ Vaneé and G3, before Vader destroys G3
“
Lina Graf: There are no such thing as ghosts. Vaneé: You sure about that trespasser? Many lost souls wander these hallways, victims of my master, one and all. Your friend the thief is among them. Skritt: Thief? Lina Graf: I think he means Hudd. Vaneé: Was that his name? All I know is that he tried to take something that didn't belong to him and paid the price. He's not the first, not by any means.. I still remember the first raid, not long after construction was completed...
„
~ Vaneé to rebels Lina Graf and Skritt, telling them of the fate of Thom Hudd.
“
And show themselves they did...you would have liked them, commander. Savage brutes. Little more than a worthless rabble...but they got lucky. They forced their way past the guards, made it into the castle itself. No one was safe. They learned the folly of their ways...as will you.
„
~ Vaneé to Lina Graf, about the first raid on Fortress Vader years ago.
“
Ha! Now you understand. Now you fear. And so you should. Behold my master...BEHOLD DARTH VADER, DARK LORD OF THE SITH.
„
~ Vaneé to Lina Graf when Vader shows up.
“
'Darth Vader: These are the rebels that so terrified you Vaneé? I am disappointed. Vaneé: The-they breached the castle, master...attempted to steal your treasures. Darth Vader: Then they shall die.
„
~ Vaneé and Vader
“
Master the castle... it's under attack!
„
~ Vaneé to Darth Vader.
“
Vaneé: Mercy.. Criakkan: Mercy? Did your master show mercy when he slaughtered all our kin? Vaneé: You misunderstand me Mustafarian... I wasn't talking to you.
„
~ Vaneé to Criakkan, the leader of the Mustafarians, after they raid the fortress. (In flashbacks)
Star Wars Adventures: Return to Vader's Castle[]
“
Ah, good. You're awake. I've been waiting for you. I was worried you wouldn't make it. I'm impressed. Most people are screaming by now.
„
~ Vaneé to Thom Hudd after he wakes up.
“
Do you know why you're here... on Mustafar? In the castle of my dark lord? Yes of course you do. I've been looking foward to this.
„
~ Vaneé to Thom Hudd before torturing him.
“
I know what the others think of me. The stormtroopers and the Mustafarians. 'Poor Vaneé. Pathetic Vaneé. Scurrying here and scampering there, forever doing his master`s bidding. But I don`t care. I live to serve. And besides... I have my own stories. Stories to chill the blood and stir the soul. Stories of nightmares past and terrors yet to come. And of course, stories of my master. Darth Vader-scourge of the Jedi. Fist of the emperor. Dark Lord of the Sith.
„
~ Vaneé to Thom Hudd.
“
Do you like stories? Hmm? Would you like to hear one now? Yes, I see you do. But which to tell? Which to tell? Monster, Warlord, or...Devil! Yes. That will do nicely. The devil in the darkness, crazed and alone. You`ll like this one, I think. It begins as all good stories should...on a dark and stormy planet. Have you ever been to Lotho Minor? It`s a wonderful place. So desolate. So unforgiving. So toxic. Not that Captain Spikewheel cared.
„
~ Vaneé to Thom Hudd, telling a story of Darth Maul
“
And so they searched in the shadows, fear gnawing in their bellies as Fire Rats gnaw on Lava Crystals.
„
~ Vaneé to Thom Hudd, continueing telling his story to him
“
The captain had been right when Gritz and the others arrived...no one comes to Lotho Minor-not unless they're crazy... The scavenger wanted the job of a lifetime. Turns out his life was shorter than expected. That`s the trouble with greed. It never ends well. Of course you found that out for yourself...when you tried to steal from my master...REBEL SCUM!
„
~ Vaneé to Thom Hudd, concluding his story before torturing him
“
Good... gooood. I should thank you Lieutenant Hudd...Lord Vader will be pleased with me. Yes, he will. The torture web is a priceless relic from the old times. I wasn`t sure it was still operational. I am now.
„
~ Vaneé to Thom Hudd, as he is torturing him
“
What`s that my little thief? Did you say something? No? Well perhaps we can find a way to loosen your tongue. No! That is impossible! Do you think you can outwit me little thief? Do you think you can hide? By Andeddu's flames, I`ll hunt you down. And when I find you... Oh when I find you... We will explore new levels of pain!
„
~ Vaneé to Thom Hudd, after he escapes his torture web.
“
Vaneé: You can`t hide from me, rebel scum! Hudd: Awww, really? I thought I`d least try! Vaneé: You're fooling yourself, Hudd. I serve the Sith! I never give up! Hudd: There`s a first time for everything! Why not put your feet up and relax? Do something you really enjoy? You know-like reading? Or knitting? Or pulling the legs off spider-flies? Vaneé: Ha! I like you Hudd. You do make me laugh. But we can`t change. It`s in our nature. Always has been, always will. Have I told you about the assassin who became a bounty hunter? She was the same. She never ran from danger. Always completed her missions...whatever the cost.
„
~ Vaneé to Thom Hudd, as he is chasing him
“
The deal done, the bounty hunter got to work, visiting the most recent scene of the crime...
„
~ Vaneé to Thom Hudd, telling the story of Asajj Ventress and a group of Sarlaccs
“
And so the bounty hunter`s search came to an end...Her prey snatched away from under her nose...and with it, her fee...
„
~ Vaneé to Thom Hudd, continuing telling his story
“
And so, the job completed, the hunter returned to her employer...
„
~ Vaneé to Thom Hudd, continuing telling his story
“
Vaneé: So you see lieutenant...it`s never a good idea to cheat a sith from their prize...the Dark Side always wins in the end. Hudd: Need to find a way out. A way out. Vaneé: Aha-there you are.
„
~ Vaneé to Thom Hudd, concluding his story before finding him again
“
Stop! You shall not hurt this man! That`s my job! Bring him. We have UNFINSIHED BUSINESS.
„
~ Vaneé, to a group of homicidal training droids as they were about to hurt Hudd
“
Hudd: I hear that Crakka`s brain is still down there, deep below Jabba`s palace, screaming in the darkness...trapped for all time. Vaneé: Is that it? Hudd: "Is that it?" What more do you want? Vaneé: I want to hear screams of my own. YOUR screams. Hudd: Are you sure you don`t want another story? I know lots of stories. Umm...what about "The Silent Circle?" I`ve always loved that one. Or "The Curse of the Nameless." That`ll keep you up at night... Vaneé: No. No more stories. I`ve enjoyed our time together lieutenant, but all good things must come to an end, My experiment...your LIFE. Hudd: No. Please, you don`t want to do this... Lina Graf: He`s right. You don`t. Vaneé: Wha- Lina Graf: I have orders to transport the prisoner to Coruscant. Orders from the Emperor himself... Vaneé: An Inquisitor? Here?
„
~ Vaneé, going to kill Hudd before Lina Graf, disguised as the Fourth Sister, intervened
“
Lina Graf: The prisoner will come with me. Vaneé: NO! You have no authority here. Lina Graf: I am a member of the Emperor`s elite. I have authority everywhere. Vaneé: But this is the domain of LORD VADER! Lina Graf: Am I supposed to be impressed? You dare defy the will of the Emperor? A mere servant? Vaneé: Aren`t we all servants of the Empire? Lina Graf: I haven`t time to argue. The Emperor awaits. Vaneé: Amusing. You sound like another Imperial envoy who came to Mustafar long ago...Just before he lost his mind.
„
~ Vaneé to Lina Graf
“
Rersey: I demand that you EXPLAIN yourself, Vader. Vaneé: Demand? You are a gust of the Dark Lord, Advisor Rersey. You will show respect. Rersey: And I am an emissary of the Emperor himself. You forgot yourself, Vaneé. If you think that I am of your master and his parlor tricks-
„
~ Vaneé to Rersey (in flashbacks)
“
Rersey: What is the meaning of this? I thought this fortress was supposed to be secure? Vaneé: Maybe you should secure your mouth. Rersey: What did you say? Vaneé: Nothing oh illustrious one. Nothing at all.
„
~ Vaneé to Rersey (in flashbacks)
“
Rersey: Lord Vader. You will explain what is happening- Vaneé: Isn`t it obvious? The castle is under attack!
„
~ Vaneé to Rersey, before a horde of undead Mustafarians attack (in flashbacks)
“
Vaneé: Advisor, we need to get out of here! Rersey: It`s too late!
„
~ Vaneé and Rersey, after Vader seemingly becomes undead (in flashbacks)
“
Rersey: What is the meaning of this? Who in the Emperor's name are you? Vaneé: Careful advisor. She obviously controls these creatures. Mother Ssl: Indeed I do I am Mother Ssl of Clan Rrrt. Rersey: This is an Imperial facility. Mother Ssl: And this is our world. A world with secrets that I have vowed to protect at all costs. Rersey: Secrets? What secrets? Vaneé: I would suggest the use of the word means she is unlikely to tell us, advisor.
„
~ Vaneé and Rersey, to Mother Ssl, leader of the horde of undead Mustafarians. (in flashbacks)
“
Mother Ssl: How is that possible? You were infected! Darth Vader: Because I was bitten by one of your slaves? Only flesh and blood can be infected. Mother Ssl: Then why call of the defense of your castle? Why heed my call? Vaneé: Ha! To draw you out, BREATHLESS ONE. My mater is wise. My master is cunning. My master is POWERFUL!
„
~ Vaneé, Vader, and Ssl (in flashbacks)
“
Your will is superior master, the Mustafarians will quake to hear your name once more.
„
~ Vaneé, to Vader (in flashbacks)
“
Vaneé: So, as you can see Inquisitor...merely being a lackey of the Emperor isn`t enough...you must earn your respect within these walls. If indeed you are an Inquisitor at all! Lina Graf: How did you know? Vaneé: That you were a fake? An Inqusitor without a lightsaber? You must think me a fool...commander Lina Graf of Rebel Intelligence!
„
~ Vaneé, to Lina Graf, discovering that she is not an Inquisitor
“
Aaahhh my eyes!!!!!
„
~ Vaneé, covering his eyes from bright holograms
“
Rebel scum. You got away, but you haven`t won. No, not at all. My master need never know any of this. I am his loyal servant. Yes... yes, I am. His will is my- M-master... I can explain... I never meant...
„
~ Vaneé to Vader before Vader punishes him.
Star Wars Adventures: Shadow of Vader's Castle[]
“
This is exactly why I have been sent from Imperial command. Look at him, gibbering like a lunatic.
„
~ Imperial inspector Vaneé, commenting on how crazy a maddened stormtrooper is. (In flashback.)
“
Vaneé: How many troopers is that now? See Seven: At least a dozen. They've all ended up the same way, their minds snapped. Vaneé: Or They're just weak. Jumping at shadows
„
~ Vaneé to his assistant droid See Seven, discussing of why stormtroopers have gone mad on Mustafar. (in flashback.)
“
Hello? Where is everyone? Lord Vader?
„
~ Vaneé looking for Vader in Vader`s Castle. (in flashback.)
“
Vaneé: L-Lord Vader? Darth Vader: What do you want from me? Vaneé: I H-Have been sent by Moff Seward. The Stormtroopers...assigned to the fortress... Darth Vader: They've been going mad. Vaneé: I thought they were being weak-minded--But after coming here...these gases...They're incredibly toxic. The castle... isn`t safe. I can only recommend that-we evacuate immediately and install-environmental filters. Darth Vader: No. Vaneé: What do you mean no?! It`s all right for you, floating in your tank or wearing a respirator. You don`t have to breathe this stuff... Hallucination: All right for you... Vaneé: Aaargh!
„
~ Vaneé and Vader, talking about filters for the castle. (in flashback)
“
Darth Vader: The gases can be filtered, but first I need a servant... Someone to attend my needs... Hallucinations: Needs... Needs... Needs... Needs... Needs... Vaneé: Got to get out of here... The trooper was right... the eyes... so many eyes... Darth Vader:...And you are the best candidate to arrive in months. Vaneé: Wait? What? I can`t move. W-Why can`t I move?! Darth Vader: Because I do not allow it. Vaneé: Please... the fumes... I can see... see the most terrible things. LET ME GO! Darth Vader: Look upon them. Tell me what you see. Vaneé: No. They're not real. I know they're not real. You can`t scare me. I`m an Imperial Officer! I... I laugh at such notions. haha ha. HE HE HE HE HE HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
„
~ Vaneé, going insane. (in flashback)
“
Darth Vader: Now will you serve me? Vaneé: Ha-ha-ha. Yes. He He He. Yes, I will serve you. The voices... They told me. Darth Vader: And what is your name servant? Vaneé: My name? He-he-he... My name is Vaneé... Master!
„
~ Vaneé, introducing and submitting himself to Darth Vader after driven mad. (in flashback)

Vaneé: Hellooo...Please...help me...I`m trapped.
„
~ Vaneé, calling for two young Mustafarians named Tuttel and Giggek to help him
“
Vaneé:Oh, thank locphet. I have been down for so long with only the spark-roaches for company…lovely crunchy spark-roaches.
„
~ Vaneé, to the Mustafarian boys Tuttel and Giggek
“
Giggek: Who put you down there? Vaneé: The Dark Lord. He… He was angry. But I did nothing wrong… nothing wrong at all.
„
~ Vaneé, to Giggek, commenting on how he ended up in the pit.
“
Tuttel: We must be mad... Vaneé: No...You are kind...both of you. Not like the Dark Lord. He was cruel. Tuttel: Yeah, but now he`s gone. Vaneé: Gone? That`s...impossible. He was so powerful. I thought nothing could defeat him...although many tried.
„
~ Vaneé, to Tuttel and Giggek
“
Vaneé: In his thirst for revenge, the scientist had made one fatal error...Darth Vader wasn`t afraid of becoming a monster, after all...that happened a long time ago..
„
~ Vaneé, to Tuttel and Giggek, telling them a story.
“
Vaneé: Oh, dear. How clumsy of me. Tuttel: Why did you do that? We tried to save you. Vaneé: Yes, but you also threatened to blow up my master`s fortress, and I cannot allow that. Tuttel: Your master? Who are you? Vaneé: Who am I? I am the servant of the Dark Lord, the one true Acolyte of the Beyond. I am Vaneé, keeper of the Obsidian Flame. I am death to all who profane the name of the Sith. Giggek: You are finished! Vaneé: What? You survive? Giggek: Yeah, I survived. And I still have the detonator. Tuttel, if you can hear me, run... run as fast as you can... and tell everyone what we did.
„
~ Vaneé, Tuttel and Giggek, before Giggek blows up the bottom of the fortress.
“
Vaneé: Foolish child... haven`t you heard... The Sith are hard to kill...but what if they were speaking the truth? What if my master is truly gone? Vader Hallucination: Do not fear, faithful servant... Vaneé: What? Who is there? Vader Hallucination: You know my voice, Vaneé. Did I not speak to you in the pit, in the darkness, in the smoke? Did I not speak to you in the lava itself? Vaneé: Yes, Yes. I hear you, oh lord. Speak words of hope to me and I will obey. Vader Hallucination: It is not over. Not yet. Not while you can bring him back... your master will return to the fires of Mustafar and, this time, he will be made whole... Vader Triumphant. Vader Supreme. Vader... reborn!

It is the will of the Dark Side. Vaneé: The will. Yesss. Tell me what I must do, my lord. Vader Hallucination: Is the ritual prepared, Vaneé? Are you prepared? Vaneé: Yes, master. All is as it should be. Vader Hallucination: Then begin... Vaneé: At last.
„
~ Vaneé and the Vader hallucination, about to prepare a ritual
“
Vaneé: I call upon the Immortal Gods of the Sith. On malevolence, anger, and dread. Reach across the stars, spirits of the Obsidian Flame. Seek out those who have wronged us. For the Dark Lord will rise again. The Dark Lord will have his revenge...

~ Vaneé, orchrestrating his ritual

Vaneé: Welcome back to Mustafar, loyal droid. Crater: Thank you... master. I have brought the sacrifice as you commanded Vaneé: Yesss... Soon they will arrive. All of them. And learn the true meaning of fear.

Lina Graf: Come to think of it, where are all the Ties? They can`t just have vanished. Vaneé: You sure about that? Lina Graf: That voice... That`s not Jaxxon. Vaneé: No Lina... It`s not. Lina Graf: Who... Who are you? Vaneé: Your worst nightmare. Yes, that`s it. Run, little girl. I like it when they run. Lina Graf: N-need to find the others. None of this makes sense. Vaneé: Sense? What are you talking about? Only a child thinks this galaxy makes sense... but you are a child aren`t you, Lina? Lina Graf: What? No! Vaneé: Little Lina Graf. So lost, so alone. Just like always. No family. No droid. Not even your little brother.

Lina Graf: What the-W-what is this? Vaneé: This? This is your destiny, Lina Graf. Your destiny and my revenge. His revenge. Lina Graf: Vaneé, let me out of this. Vaneé: Oh, you`ll be released... only after the ritual is complete.
„
~ Vaneé, to Lina Graf, after they wake up, realizing they are in captivity.
“
Vaneé: He-hehhe-he Do you hear them, master? They think I only controlled the droid. Don`t they realize that they were all my puppets... that I used their own dreams against them, drawing them back to the castle. Skritt: The nightmares... they were you? Vaneé: No one is safe from the Sith, not even when they sleep. I knew you would come. Loved ones in danger? New monsters to fight? How could you resist?
„
~ Vaneé, to his prisoners, telling them he orchestrated their dreams
“
Actually, I was wondering the same thing. Who are you again?

Vaneé: You all must be silent. There is much to do. The hour approaches.

~ Vaneé, beginning his ritual to resurrect his master, Darth Vader
“
As you were there where he perished, so you shall be here when he rises again. No... more than that... You shall be the means of his resurrection.

“
Yes, master. I hear you master. The moment has come. I release the vapors just like you taught me. Let them guide your path.
„
~ Vaneé, talking to his hallucination, attempting to "ressurect" his master
“
Do you hear her, master? She doubts you. Doubts your power. Soon she will believe. She will know.

“
Speak, oh lord. Speak and we shall listen. Rise from the ashes, as it has been foretold. Spread your dark arms across the galaxy. Vader Reborn! Vader Immortal!

Yes... Yes! And now the screaming starts! The ghosts are here! The age of the Sith is upon us! A new empire of darkness. His empire

“
Vaneé: Finally, after all the indignities, all the tricks. Finally she understands... Finally she fears! M-master? Master is that you? Lina Graf: Va...neé... Release me this instant. No one binds Darth Vader. No one! Vaneé: A-at once, my lord. Y-you have returned to me. Lina Graf: It was the will of the Force. Vaneé: And w-what does the Force will now, oh dark one? What terror shall we unleash upon the galaxy?
„
~ Vaneé, to Lina Graf, pretending to be possessed by the "spirit" of Darth Vader
“
What? No! This isn`t possible. The spirit of my lord consumed you. I saw it with my own eyes.
„
~ Vaneé, to Lina Graf, after she frees the fellow prisoners
“
Vaneé: No! No, you can`t leave me here. You can`t leave me trapped! Vader Hallucination: Why Vaneé? Isn`t this what you wanted? Isn`t this what you hoped for? Vaneé: Nooo...

“
Graballa the Hutt: Ok Vaneé. We`ve talked about sniffing the guests. Boys... Vaneé: But Vaneé has something to show the brave pilot. Poe Dameron: Some other time. We`re in kind of a rush. Vaneé: NI-L8, show them. Behold the Helmet of Ren! Poe Dameron: Did you say Ren? As in Kylo? Vaneé: This helmet belonged to the one who created him. Would you like to hear it`s tale? Graballa the Hutt: The man said he`s in a rush! Poe Dameron: Tell me. Vaneé: This is the tale of a powerful warrior who longed for more...
„
~ Vaneé, telling Poe Dameron a story
“
Vaneé: And that night was Kylo Ren`s first step on his path to power! HAHAHA!!
„
~ Vaneé, after telling his story
“
Poe Dameron: An how did that remind him? What was even the point of the story? To scare us? Graballa the Hutt: It worked! Vaneé: No! To remind you that there is much to be taken by those unafraid by it.
„
~ Poe Dameron, questioning Vaneé of the meaning of the story
“
Vaneé: Sith artifacts lie beyond this door. The Prophecy of Mustafar foretells the arrival of a fearless stranger with the strength to open it. Perhaps, a brave pilot who has fought many battles Poe Dameron: Sounds like my cue.
„
~ Vaneé, explaining about the Prophecy of Mustafar
“
Vaneé: Yes, follow Vaneé. HAHAHA!

„
~ Vaneé, as he and Poe Dameron are exploring the undiscovered places of Vader`s Castle
“
Vaneé: The ancient lightsaber repository. We`re looking for something very special. The Saber of Scardont. Said to be a lightsaber of unusual power-How dare you!
„
~ Vaneé, in a lightsaber chamber and explaining the Saber of Scardont, only for Graballa to snatch it away.
“
Vaneé: Would any of you care to hear the Tale of the Saber of Scardont? Poe Dameron: Why do I have the feeling no matter what we say, you`re gonna... Vaneé: It is a tale of two monstrosities.
„
~ Vaneé, telling the story of the Saber of Scardont to the whole company
“
Vaneé: Left for dead by a Jedi named Obi-Wan Kenobi, Darth Maul nonetheless survived and made his way to a clan of witches known as the Nightsisters.
„
~ Vaneé, telling his story
“
Vaneé: But Maul was not the only one who returned after being left for dead. A loyal student to Count Dooku once known as Qymaen jai Sheelal, but reborn as General Grievous.
„
~ Vaneé, continuing telling his story
“
Vaneé: Though the journey was difficult, Grievous would not yield.
„
~ Vaneé, continuing telling his story
“
Vaneé: Defeated, but not destroyed, Darth Maul gained a valuable insight into his feeling... Dean: I got it! Vaneé: As Vaneé was saying, Darth Maul gained a valuable insight. Power comes not from serving others, but... Dean: From serving yourself. Vaneé: Very good, boy. Now see where the saber leads you.
„
~ Vaneé, concluding his story
“
Vaneé: Perhaps Vaneé places his hopes on the wrong pilot. NI-L8 Perhaps.

Vaneé: Yes, the boy has found it. This has the power to make any dream come true. Graballa the Hutt: That little triangle makes wishes come true. Oh please, Nothing in the galaxy can do that. Dean: A Wookie`s Paw can. Vaneé: Oh, the child knows of the Wookie`s Paw? Dean: The pilot who came to my mom`s shop would tell stories. Poe Dameron: I`ve heard those stories too, they're made up. Vaneé: Are they? Submitted to your approval. The tale of a boy in search of more. Of a better life. Much like you.
„
~ Vaneé, to Dean
“
Vaneé: Just as the Wookie`s Paw gave Skywalker all that he wanted, this holocron will grant whatever you desire. Poe Dameron: No! the story is a warning. Be careful what you wish for! Vaneé: I know what you want. For your family to be safe. Open this, and never fear for them again. Not with your hands. Your heart.
„
~ Vaneé, to Dean
“
Dean: You said this makes dreams come true! Vaneé: It does make dreams come true, mine! Long has Vaneé waited for this. I thought you were the one to make it happen. But little did I know it was the boy I needed. One who is strong with the Force!
„
~ Vaneé, having everything he needs
“
Vaneé: Oh my whole life I was weak. Pitiful. Afraid to seize power. Always toiling for others. Now Vaneé has all he desires.

Trivia[]
He was originally going to appear in the fourth season of Star Wars Rebels in the episodes Wolves and a Door and A World Between Worlds. However, he was scripted to die, and since it takes place prior to Rogue One, the character that was to be Vaneé developed into a separate character, Veris Hydan, who may not even be related to Vaneé. However though, his appearance resembles and was heavily inspired by Vaneé.
When Rogue One first came out, many people had mistaken him to be the same character as Imperial Advisor Kren Blista-Vanee, one of the advisors briefly seen accompanying Darth Sidious on the Second Death Star in Return of the Jedi. This theory was dismissed and was proved to be false, since the story of Vaneé was expanded in the canon Vader's Castle comic series, and since Kren Blista-Vanee died when the Second death Star exploded while Vaneé was trapped in a pit on Mustafar, it proves that Kren Blista-Vanee is a 100% not Vaneé, not even related to him.
Like all other Star Wars characters, he was speculated to be Snoke, he was heavily speculated to be Snoke when the trailer came out. However, the theory lessened when Rogue One came out, and, like all the other Snoke theories, it was proven to be false.
Vaneé was presumed to have a major role as a new villain when Rogue One came out, but it turns out he was a minor character.
In the 2017 canon Star Wars issue Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith 8, in 19 BBY, Vaneé was present on Coruscant, informing Vader that Jedi Master Jocasta Nu was found. However in the 2020 canon comic Star Wars: Shadow of Vader`s Castle, it is revealed that Vaneé did not serve Vader until after the construction of Fortress Vader, which was in 12 BBY.
The servant that appeared in Darth Vader Dark Lord of the Sith.
Given that, it was retconned that the servant in Dark Lord of the Sith is not him, despite of how close in appearance they are.
However, Vaneé's origin story is a legend, so it may or may not be true. If not, then the servant in Dark Lord of the Sith may very well be him.
However, in a recent confirmation from Cavan Scott, the servant in Dark Lord of the Sith is not Vaneé, and that he and the servant are part of the same religious order, hence why they look so familiar.
