Ves spent a lot of time under Major Verle. The mech officer wore the hat of both the Mech Corps and Flashlight.
Someone who was part of both the military and a notoriously ruthless intelligence agency should not be treated as someone average!
As one of the leadership examples that Ves always looked up to, Major Verle was someone who was very adept at social manipulation. The man was a maestro at using words to sway people into doing what he wanted.
Though he didn't acquire a fancy nickname for it, Ves always considered Major Verle to be the true Devil Tongue!
Unlike Ves who employed spiritual manipulation to augment his social manipulation, Major Verle didn't depend on this advantage!
The Brighter mech officer was highly capable of establishing his authority through mortal means alone!
This advantage alone meant that Major Verle was a very highly-prized asset.
