Veranus is an Imperial Guardsman in Reign of Chaos, he appears in Chapter 1 - High Rock: Glenumbra, where he plays the protagonist of a small sequence.

Background
Little is known about Veranus, other than the fact that he knows Talin on some level and knows enough about him to register his disappearance as suspicious, he is also quite skeptical, compared to his comrades and often questions the Emperor and his motives.

Reign of Chaos: Chapter 1 - High Rock: Glenumbra
Veranus appears in a sequence, where he is awoken earlier than expected by his superior officers, who demands that all of the men in his unit attend a speech, which is being given by the Emperor. Veranus is suspicious but not enough to question it.

Upon arrival he and his people are left standing for the best part of half an hour, there they discuss Talin's disappearance and how suspicious it is. Whilst everyone else is talking among themselves, Veranus notices the strange apparatus being offloaded around the room. However, his perceptiveness doesn't manage to save him as he is immediately caught in the Emperor's trap.

The Emperor entraps them in a magical dome and forces them to transform into beasts, that will serve as superior forces in the ranks of his army.

The Emperor, who is of course Jagar Tharn in disguise watches with a great deal of satisfaction and amusement as they are twisted into terrible beasts.
