Vamon

Azadi officer and commander of the military forces stationed in the Northlands, Vamon is actually seen wearing a holstered revolver. Years ago Vamon served in Sadir where he worked with Kian Alvane, and was impressed with his swordsmanship and loyalty to The Six. As he confides to Sister Sahya, however, he is suspicious of Kian's rapid ascent through the ranks, which he attributes to assistance from someone with the Sixth Circle. This may have more to do with the disdain Vamon has for Kian's ignoble birth and "galling" virtue. It probably does not help that Kian is sent to deal with a problem Vamon has not been able to: the assassination of the Scorpion.

The Emissary asks Vamon to spy on Kian's activities in the Northlands, and he follows the latter  to the rebels Swamp City with two Cloudships and many Azadi soldiers in tow. In the ensuing skirmish he arrests Kian for treachery, who vows not to stop until he holds Vamon's still-beating heart in his hands.
