Count Veger (Jak and Daxter)

Count Veger is a cocky power broker of the High Council and one of the major threats to the war-stricken city of Haven City. Strict, punishing, and a man by-the-book who is immune to Daxter's charm and humor such as mispronouncing his name by saying: "Count Vulgar" and such. He thinks himself superior to his opponents, that being Jak, Daxter, Ashelin Praxis, and her Freedom League. His "superiority" often gets him mocked by the main characters. He is also very cruel and has displayed schadenfreude in the death of Damas in front of Jak.

"You seem upset. Did I tell you too late? You were the son of the great warrior, Damas. And he never knew... how delightful."

Veger is a well-known character to the series for his slim features and hooked nose. He has a few bald spots on his head and appears to be in his late fifties or even early sixties. Veger is always wearing a suit with a cape to the back making him look of noble family.

He kidnapped Jak as a kid (in Jak 2), and took him away from Damas's life. But Veger lost Jak to Kor and the Underground, making Veger have a lot of knowledge about Jak's past.

Count Veger is seen at the very beginning banishing Jak to the Wasteland due to his own choice, not the Ruler of Haven City, that being Ashelin. She protests at Veger for the choice but he's decided on his favorite choice for Jak, banish him. Pecker, Onin's interpreter and Daxter, Jak's sidekick aren't giving the option to be left for dead but go along as well. Ashelin saves Jak from Veger's sadistic way of leaving for death by giving him a beacon. Veger is seen later with an acquaintence of Jak, Seem. Veger promises her if she stays true to her word she will "Meet [her] makers." Veger ambushes Jak in a port from the eco mines to Haven City with a large Precursor robot. Veger runs away and is seen later coming into the Freedom League HQ, he claims that his guide through the catacombs, unlike Jak's, is more clearer but gets defeated in a vote between him and Jak. Veger has Damas killed in the ruins of Haven and at the footsteps to the catacombs so he and Jak can talk. Veger tells him his past and leaves for the core of the earth in the catacombs. Veger then holds Jak and Daxter at gun-point in the core on the Precursor platform when Jak is given the gift of eternity and becoming a Precursor but Veger takes it from Jak and becomes an ottsel (which is what a Precursor is). Veger insults the three leading Precursors and gets blasted away. Veger is seen later at the ceremony of Earth's win from the Dark Makers, he starts to leave with the other Precursors but is nominated as Kleiver's sidekick.
