Oh. My error - I thought it was patronymic. As none of the other auditors
are introduced by first name ("Lord Vorhovis", "Dr. Vorthys", "Lord Vann
Vorgustafson", and "Admiral Vorkalloner") - it didn't make sense to me that
he was an exception. You may be right, though. I think the patronymic was
Van, not Vann...
