The Vake

"On long evenings at the Medusa's Head, where the monster-hunters drink, they brag about the beasts they've bagged - the Cantigaster, the Eater-of-Chains, the Spider Council, Jack-of-Smiles in his many bodies. But no-one tells stories about the Vake: the Vake, for whose head the Department offers a standing reward of four million Echoes. Four million."

When the Vake is mentioned, everyone goes quiet. No-one has any boastful stories. Why?

"What is the Vake? They say it's not a monster at all. They say it's a man who dresses up as a bat. To, ah, prowl the city by night. But that would just be stupid."

The Vake is a fearsome batlike monster that has a ridiculous bounty on its head. Players attempting to Bag a Legend are hunting for it.

Who is the Vake?
In the Bag a Legend Ambition, you find out that the Vake is one of the Masters of the Bazaar - specifically, Mr Veils. But why?
