# Vye Lansor — Star Hunter character guide

> Vye Lansor in Star Hunter by Andre Norton.

**Role:** major

**Also known as:** Lansor, Vye, X Vye

**First appearance:** 0000-i

## Snapshot

A state-raised swamper from the Starfall dives, pulled off the port-drift by an Out-Hunter's strange offer, and too wary to trust luck that feels like a thaline dream.

## Who they are

Vye Lansor is a state child, S.C.C. 425061, raised after the Five-Hour Fever epidemic with no parents and no prospects beyond the port-side dives. When a Guild Hunter offers him a gearman's berth, he reads the man's Fata Rite talk of balancing scales as the only explanation for a fortune he cannot believe he deserves. His hunger for legitimacy and his instinct to question it drive the story's view from below.
