Chel Vanin: More than meets the eye?

[WWWwombat]

I noticed that people in Ebou Dar seem to step wide of Vanin as if he is dangerous.  What's going on here?

[Muad Cheade]

I think it has to do with the fact that he not only has the grace Warders do but also he seems to be a very quick and dangerous man even with the weight he carries.

Wombat raises a good point. It seems a bit weird to me that everybody and his mother steps wide of Vanin .... why?

[Majsju]

It has nothing to do with danger, but rather the fact that Vanin does not believe in bathing more than once a year ;D

chel vanin is really demandred.  think of all the times it is mentioned that vanin has a soft spot for elayne (ilyena)

Vanin had been seen on screen by the time RJ said Demandred hadn't been seen on screen.

I think the Demandred thing was meant as a joke.

That's very possible.  If so I saved the board from some potential trolling by being trolled myself.  There is much ji in this.  Then again I generally approve of trolling so maybe I have toh to said troll.

I think it's part of the whole Jordan "you can see instantly perceive who's dangerous" motiff. Vanin looks like a "fat sack in the saddle" but is a dangerous and wiley man (who is secretly Lord Luc).

as soon as i saw the heading i thought of the transformers slogan: Transformers- more than meets the eye instead, Chel Vanin- more than meets the eye, Chel Vanin- the Dark One in disguise  ;)

Simple physics.  Vanin is a pretty wide guy.
