Vex was a Dark Fae Mesmer who was aligned with The Morrigan through the first two seasons of Lost Girl. The role was played by the actor Paul Amos. Vex's relationship with Bo and Kenzi began as adversarial, but moved to a grudging friendship of sorts as the series has progressed. When he first appeared in Vexed, he acted on the behalf of The Morrigan as an enforcer for her. He owned a Goth and BDSM club called Carpe Noctem which also served as a meeting and feeding ground for Dark Fae.

His final appearance was in the third season episode ConFaegion, where The Morrigan used Vex to deliver a parasite into Bo, Dyson and Tamsin and then was told that he needed to kill the three of them to regain his position in the Dark Fae hierarchy. However, his friendship with Kenzi had progressed to the point where he decided to not carry out The Morrigan's plans. At the end of that episode, he decided to leave on a journey but promised Kenzi that he would return someday. There is every possibility that Vex will return again to the series in the future.

Character History

Vex first appeared in the first season episode Vexed where he acted on the behalf of The Morrigan and performed as an enforcer for her. He owned a Goth and BDSM club called Carpe Noctem which also acted as a meeting and feeding ground for Dark Fae.

In Faetal Justice he came to odds with Bo over the apparent death of another Dark Fae. This friction continued through the second season episode It's Better to Burn Out Than Fae Away but there was some grudging admiration for Bo from Vex. Vex's arc changed in Into the Dark when he found himself drawn into the battle with The Garuda and broke his ties to The Morrigan.

The second season finale, Flesh and Blood, found Vex as part of the group opposing The Garuda and being made to accept an injection of Bo's blood in order to strengthen Bo's powers. When this happened, Vex seemed to be drawn to Bo and the power she held within her.

This, along with his departure from The Morrigan, meant that when season three began in Caged Fae, his status with the Dark Fae had been destroyed and he was forced to live with Bo and Kenzi. When Hale was made the new Ash he attempted to become Dyson's partner but did not succeed in this. During SubterrFaenean, it appeared that he was beginning to create a friendship with Kenzi and to a lesser extent Bo.

His final appearance was in the third season episode ConFaegion where The Morrigan used Vex to deliver a parasite into Bo, Dyson and Tamsin. He was then told that he needed to kill the three of them to regain his position within the Dark Fae. However, his friendship with Kenzi had progressed to the point where he decided to not carry out The Morrigan's plans. At the end of that episode, he decided to leave on a journey but promised Kenzi that he would return someday.

This marked this character's last appearance in the series, but there is every indication that he will return to the series at some point in time.

Powers and Abilities

Vex is a Mesmer which is a kind of Fae that has the ability to control the bodies of others. This would happen when Vex raised his right hand to point at his target and then thought about what he wanted them to do. The victim could speak and have an emotional reaction, but otherwise were not in control of what their bodies did.

A Mesmer can affect the nerves within a body with their powers, and it has been shown that they can overcome Succubi by playing with their sexual nerve endings. Vex has done so in two first season episodes Vexed and Faetal Justice to Bo.

There does not seem to be any kind of Fae that a Mesmer cannot affect with their powers as Vex has been able to control The Morrigan and other Fae of various kinds as well as humans. Vex did not appear to have any other Fae abilities, though he was an expert with bladed weapons when he used them.

It appears that he can control one person at a time with his power, though this is an assumption based on the fact that at no time was he seen controlling more than one victim at a time. It also appears that he must be in close range for his powers to have an effect, and likely must also have line of sight to them as well.
