Vertan Nejowin works for a plastic surgery corporation, that secretly provides face-swap procedures. His office is richly appointed with a holo-frame on the wall and wooden desk on which he keeps a bowl of candy. He has no compunction about allowing customers, including Gilea Kiljaani and Marlovian Joocasta, to believe the person whose face they choose will be put to death, though in reality, they will live and labor face-less.
