Ven is one of two known genderqueer members of the Treehouse. VG is also married to Mouse LaJabraille (not a Treehouse contributor, but a frequent commenter on site videos), and has a 3-year-old daughter who may well be better known to fandom than either parent, at least after being immitated by Rob Walker during the 2010 charity drive.

Ven is a true jack-of-all-trades both online and off, but is currently working on completing an actual degree in Historic Preservation. Of all random frigging things.

Age: 26

Hair: Usually black or dark chestnut with red bangs.

Eyes: Hazel -- generally mostly olive-greenish with brown center but can shift to dark brown or grey (somehow).

Favorite Reviewers: Doug Walker, Nash, Phelous, JewWario, CR, Welshy, MikeJ

Specialties: Enabling shenanigans and acts of naughtiness to be committed by other Treehousians, particularly the fic writers. Drawing Doug. A lot. And otherwise drawing everyone else... often doing things like... riding an otter... dressing as an otter... wearing an otter as a hat... Also, makin' videos, sometimes showtunes reviews, sometimes fan art slideshows set to showtunes with vocals recorded by Ven, sometimes dramatizing poems to be read on camera with interesting visual interpretation, sometimes just scaring the fuck out of people as the Somaturge...

Inventory: The Golden Feather of Mandrino, a legendary artifact stolen from the Daedric Lord Sheogorath; the Nostalgia Critic's second tie, another legendary artifact but this one purchased legally on Ebay; various marionette rigs designed and built by Ven; a Creepy Black Trenchcoat; a large collection of tools for basic electronics tinkering; several bags full of unspun wool; a sentient snarky chicken puppet; 15 bootlegged live concert recordings of Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds; membership card to the Michael Crawford International Fan Association; copy of "The Death of Mr. Mxyzptlk"; 1 short sword; 68 keys; 5 guitars in various states of repair; rumpets; crackpots; and how are you, Mr. Wilson?
