 "Heheheh… It is true. But it can’t be wrong, this is the truth. Hidden behind history, it is the story of the truth."

- Ve

Ve is a sorcerer and playwright of the Union State of Evillious. He manipulates Galleria Marlon and the awakened vessels of sin so that he can collect all of the Seven Deadly Sins. He is called the Sorcerer of Time by the inhabitants of Evil's Theater.

Sin Fragments
Ve would become a playwright during the time of the Union State of Evillious and would meet Judge Galleria Marlon and become her close friend. He later lent him the Freesis novel "Son of Evil", hoping to convince her to sponsor a film adaptation of the story. After the judge finished reading the book, he visited her to ask her thoughts on the story in EC 978. Ve assured Galleria, despite her doubts, that the tale the novel told was true.

He asked if she would sponsor him, but the Judge declined. Calling her stingy, he walked around the room until he saw a picture of Galleria with her family. After staring intently at the image, he whispered that her husband would return the next day, prompting Galleria to ask if he was threatening her. Before she finished warning him, Ve laughed and told her he had no intention to harm her family.

After a long silence, they continued discussing the novel’s characters and their relationship to later historical figures such as "Belle the Ripper" and Jules Abelard. In response to Galleria’s question of why Abyss I.R. collected the Seven Deadly Sins, the enchanting playwright told her it was because the one who collected the sins would have their wish come true. After a short pause, he excitedly asked if she was interested in finding them together but was cut off by the judge. Asked by her if money was necessary, the playwright indifferently admitted it. Galleria denied Ve and he left, telling her he would return later. After exiting the Judge’s Study, Ve told her to tell him if she ever changed her mind about the film adaptation and the vessels of sin.

Dark Star Scandal
Not long after he left, Galleria received news that her husband and son were in an accident caused by the bizarre attack of a giant octopus. The judge reconsidered Ve's offer and the two began collecting the vessels of sins together. Some time later, Ve arrived at Galleria's home, joining the Clockworker's Doll Galleria believed to be her deceased son. Seeing Galleria arrive in the room, Ve welcomed her, offering the judge food or bath. She responded he didn't have to do that, even though her husband was no longer around. Ve told her "Mitchell" had been hesitant and that he couldn't allow that as his "father". Peeved, Galleria told him she would become angry if he continued such jokes, ordering the playwright to leave.

Ve remarked she would once he took what he needed; the judge complied, leaving the room then later returning to show him the weapon he collected. When asked if there was any doubt about it's identity, Ve asserted it was indeed the Venom Sword. After reconfirming with the playwright that her son would be healed, Galleria cautioned him that if she was discovered removing evidence, her position would be compromised. Ve responded he would try to be discreet, but that it might be best to protect the weapon at a place away from human eyes. The judge told him she would think about it.

As he left, Ve stopped to remind him to not lose the spoon she collected, telling her that she couldn't speak to her "son" without it. Galleria assured him she always had it, removing it from her pocket to show him. Satisfied, Ve left, hearing Galleria's conversation with the doll, noting her odd conversations with it even though he only heard her speaking. Amused, Ve left Galleria's home, silently wishing her well playing the "doll game". Afterwards, Ve convinced Galleria to build a small theater in the middle of the Millennium Tree Forest to store the vessels of sin she collected in EC 982. At some point, Ve promised to continue the judge’s quest should she perish.

Evil’s Theater
After Galleria’s death during the Levianta Civil War, Ve inherited her collection and stored the vessels of sin in Evil's Theater in EC 983. At some point, he built a garden within the theater and acted as its caretaker. He later told the Master of the Court that Galleria’s vision of Utopia would come true if all the vessels of sin were collected, pushing the doll to continue his “mother’s” quest and grant her wish. Due to the vessel of Envy failing to awaken, Ve became the replacement for the dormant pair of scissors. He later became acquainted with Gammona Octo, his successor as the Gardener, and used her Purple Dream ability to assist in writing screenplays that reenacted events that occurred in Evillious’ past.

He along with the other awakened vessels of sin attended the meeting called by the Master of the Court and was asked by the Judicial Doll if he knew the location of the vessel of Wrath. Ve responded that, because its form and owners changed over time, she did not know its current location. Qualifying her statement, she mentioned that it was probably in “his” hands.

Personality and Traits
Ve was whimsy, lackadaisical, and playful towards Galleria Marlon. He acted visibly excited when bringing up the topics involving the Seven Deadly Sins and his Story of Evil adaptation. He also showed hints of malicious intent and acted manipulative to get what he wanted, using Galleria Marlon and the Master of the Court to collect the vessels of sin. He appeared to like his work as a playwright and seemed to enjoy gardens as he built one in the theater for himself. Ma had a smoking habit and was always seen with her smoking pipe in hand.

Skills and Abilities
Ma was assumed to be a powerful mage with strong magic. Her power was strong enough that the Master of the Graveyard openly obeyed her. She was also an experienced penman, adapting many historical events from the Evillious' history into features reenacted in Gallerian’s Theater.

Character Connections
Gallerian Marlon: Ma's partner. Ma considered Gallerian a close friend as well as a useful benefactor to help her gather the vessels of sin, although she was frustrated with his stingy nature and was thus willing to manipulate him to fulfill her aims. She became amused with Gallerian's obsessive love for the Clockworker's Doll, using it as another way to manipulate him, and found his corrupt court tactics distasteful.

Gammon Octo: A fellow member of Evil's Theater and the Gardener after her. Ma got along with Gammon well enough to let him tend to her garden and let him help her write screenplays for the cinema, seeing his clairvoyant "Purple Dream" ability as useful. Despite this, she was disturbed by his visions predicting the world as ending when the sins are gathered.

Master of the Graveyard: A fellow member of Evil's Theater. Ma viewed the Master of the Graveyard as a useful ally when gathering the other vessels of sin and relied on her insatiable hunger to keep away potential thieves.

Master of the Court: A fellow member of Evil's Theater. Ma saw the Master of the Court, as director of Evil's Theater, useful for fulfilling her goals. She became a primary influence on her actions as a means to control the whole theater.

Kayo Sudou: The physical body of Ma.

Conceptualization and Origin

 * Ma appears to be an abridged form of the word Magician, refering to how her and her two halves are powerful sorceresses; the “gician” part of her name missing is taken from one letter in the Latin names of the Seven Deadly Sins collected by Gallerian.
 * It also shares the same letters as Project 'Ma' (Mem Aleph) and was a title bestowed upon the one who successfully birthed the twin gods and became the ruler of the Magic Kingdom.

Curiosities

 * In Capriccio Farce, Ma's profile states that her identity is that of Kayo Sudou, referring to Kayo's physical body.
