- Following Baron Quinn's murder of her parents, she is brought in to treat Quinn due to his brain tumor causing his health to decline.

- While her killing Edgar was justified since he went crazy and attacked her therefore making it self-defense, another Clipper named Declan captures Veil and questions her on what happened to Edgar. She lies and claims that Edgar tries to rape her, which enrages Declan since Edgar was actually gay, meaning there is no way he did that. Declan calls her out on accusing a dead man of being a rapist, and there was no reason to insult his good name in that way.
Trivia[]
- Veil is the only Near Pure Good hero from Into the Badlands to not also be a Love Exalted character. This is due to her having many stupid mistakes throughout the series, and while these moments don't serve as Pure Good preventions, they do decrease the likability of her character.
