Vetomo

Verified Timeline

Lore & Background

Vetomo is named as one of the nine bishops who rule Dema, the fictional city within the continent of Trench. The source states that the chief bishop, Nico, was revealed by lead singer Tyler Joseph to be Blurryface, the personification of his insecurities from the band's previous album. The other bishops—including Vetomo—are named but not individually characterized in the source. The bishops are opposed by a group called the Banditos, who aim to liberate the people of Dema and adopt the color yellow (specifically 0xFCE300), which the bishops are unable to see, instead perceiving it as grey. No further details about Vetomo's specific actions, appearance, or role within the lore are provided in the source.

In Their Own Story

The source does not provide a specific story or narrative moment involving Vetomo. It only lists Vetomo among the nine bishops of Dema and describes the broader conflict between the bishops and the Banditos. The album's narrative and characters were expanded upon in later albums Scaled and Icy (2021), Clancy (2024), and Breach (2025), but the source does not detail Vetomo's involvement in those works.
