Voice: Original Voice. I do what the character to sound old, so something low with maybe a husky or gravelly tone to it! He is always barking orders so there needs to be a sense of authority. Try make him sound more concerned than angry though since I don’t want him to come across as this angry man.

Biography:
The overall leader of the Turks. Veld gets his orders directly from President Shinra and passes them on to Tseng, who then delegates orders to the subordinate Turks. It was Veld who made the Turks into the professional, elite group they are today. He can come off as intimidating, and even cold – his standard of what constitutes a well-executed mission is markedly more stringent than the evaluation criteria Tseng uses, and he will not hesitate to deal out appropriate consequences when the occasion calls for it. It was he that instituted the mission evaluation system – all Turks are evaluated based on every mission they undertake, with consequences for Turks that don't get their act together.

Veld's devotion to his Turks is absolute. In Episode 9, when the Turks are placed under the leadership of Heidegger, Veld makes a deal with President Shinra in order to save them from annihilation at the hands of AVALANCHE. A large condition of this deal stipulates that if Veld displeases President Shinra again, his life is forfeit. When the Turks are ordered to carry the victims of the Nibelheim accident to the Shin-Ra mansion so Hojo can perform experiments on them, he takes the entire duty upon himself, so that his subordinates needn't get tangled up in such a dirty operation.

The reason for Veld's protective attitude toward the Turks is revealed in Episode 13. He was indirectly responsible for his family's death in Kalm. After the loss of his wife and daughter, he buried himself in his work and fell back on the Turks, who became the family he no longer had.

Veld goes missing for a while after the final battle with Zirconiaide. Officially he is presumed dead – assassinated - although it is later discovered that he is alive and continuing his work with the Turks.
