I ain’t trapped. Some of the guys at the yard do leave and go home. I’m sticking it out until I can’t hold anymore gold because I know the moment one of those other bastards finds out about my ten gold coins, they’ll try to weasel their way onto this train. No way I’m letting some greasy dwarf steal my magic gold supply while giving him such fine stroke material. Vernon [1]

Vernon is a train conductor for the Yellow line train on the Iron Tangle. [1]

Appearance

"A dwarf sat at the bar, leaning into a drink. I had the immediate impression he’d been parked there for some time. He wore a wrinkled uniform, similar to the uniforms the janitor ghouls wore[1]

Story

Book 3

The Royal Court of Princess Donut takes time between stations 84 and 85 on the Yellow Line to explore the train. They enter the Employee Break Room and talk to Vernon. Due to Donut's high Charisma he is very talkative and explains a lot of the mechanics of how trains circle back to the beginning of the line. [1] Vernon also talks about his wife and how he's excited to go back to her. [1]

When Carl and Donut come back from the Reward Room in the Porter car where they got their bags from Pierre, Carl opens his bag to find a Potion of Invisibility and Donut's bag contains Literal Fire Ants [1] The ants overrun the train car, sweeping over Vernon, killing him. [1]
