Story Arc
V is seen in flashbacks dating back 1,000 years. Before Homecoming ceremonies were invented, he would execute soldiers who reached the end of their tenth term with his Blade, including a previous incarnation of Ashera. In a flashback in Noah's Side Story he is seen being stopped by M so Crys could send off a soldier in the first Homecoming.

In Chapter 4, V is present at Origin in the Amphitheater where he is seen playing chess with R whilst observing a battle. He mocks the soldiers and ends up winning while N and Z look on repulsed.

In Taion's Side Story, V detects a signal from the Flame Clock of the Lost Colony and decides to invade it with his own colony, V's Colony. The party repair the Lost Colony's Ferronis to trick V into thinking they are fighting back. He takes the bait, allowing the party to attack from behind. Despite being given a chance to escape, he refuses the offer and fights the party. He is ultimately defeated and apologizes to Z in his final moments.
