Lady Vess DeRogna is an elven woman with short medium brown hair. She is not young for an elf, but not as old as Ludinus Da'leth She wears clothes of green and black, deep green with black designs across and around the edges of the billowing sleeves, and a number of rings and necklaces, each containing some sort of circular gem that dangles from them like a little collection of colors.

Personality
Caleb described her as "half a recluse", and a history buff who taught at the Soltryce Academy.

Lady Vess DeRogna is the Archmage of Antiquity.

Vess DeRogna was present in Felderwin when the Mighty Nein arrived, and was seen meeting Martinet Ludinus Da'leth when he Teleported in. They were talking together as they walked towards the ruins of the Brenatto Apothecary.

While in his cell, Yeza Brenatto described how "Lady DeRogna" would bring the Beacon from a secured place to his basement for experiments. She also threatened Luc's safety if Yeza ever shared his knowledge of their experiments with anyone.

Essek Thelyss confesses to having conspired with Ludinus and Trent Ikithon, and notes that while he never met DeRogna, he knew she helmed a period of experimentation with the Luxon Beacon. These were the only people he believed to have knowledge of the arrangement.
