EON’s mission is to identify, locate, and secure EOs for observation and study. And now, five years later, Victor is on a search to find someone, anyone who can make him whole again.Įli’s arrest by Detective Stell, the Merit police officer tasked with investigating potential EO activity, led to the creation of a covert organization called ExtraOrdinary Observation and Neutralization. So, while Victor knew Sydney could bring him back to life, he had no way of predicting in exactly what state he would return. There is always a problem with their ability. They come back, but not exactly as they were before they died. Sydney can resurrect the dead, but she has difficulties resurrecting EOs. When Victor allowed Eli to kill him, he had an “ace up his sleeve” that was unknown to Eli: Sydney Clarke.

What happens next is chronicled in Schwab’s latest novel, Vengeful. Schwab’s Vicious, Eli had been arrested for Victor’s murder, and Victor had just been resurrected. At the end of the events chronicled in V.E. Victor can control pain, both his own and that of others. Eli’s ability is regenerative: nearly any wound inflicted on him heals almost instantly and he does not age and may very well be immortal. Eli Cardale and Victor Vale are ExtraOrdinaries (or EOs): people who have survived a near-death experience, and as a result of the trauma developed a special power or ability.
