The author and archeologist Vita de la Vera is a nobleman, scholar and very independent researcher, who's main field of interest is ancient and forgotten cultures that are unrecognized by conventional science. He is a more outlandish member of le Club d'Aventure d'Outre-Mer, where he has often caused quite a stir especially in his ongoing feud with fellow member Jacques Pierre, who is not altogether convinced of the validity of many of Vito de la Vera's findings. This competition has not meant that they cannot be civil, however. Vito de la Vera's main interest is the continued search for more knowledge about the ancient whale culture that has existed in the Arctic during the Holocene Maximum and in the Pacific during the ice age. His continued quest to find out more about this culture has led him far and wide from the Arctic to New Caledonia and to South America. His findings have also led him unto the truth about the continent of Mu that is deeply connected to the whale culture. His research has also led him on an airship trip around Greenland with fellow members of Le Club d'Aventure d'Outre-Mer. Aside from the search for the whale culture Vito de la Vera has also searched for Lemuria at the Mascarene Plateau and Atlantis as a floating artificial island in the Atlantic modeled on the Richat Structure also known as the Eye of Africa from whence the Atlantean culture stemmed as it spread to the ocean and into the Sargasso Sea. Aside from his archeological work Vito de la Vera is also heavily engaged in the creation and building of artificial coral reefs and floating islands build on the concepts of Atlantis and the south American cultures that build huge floating structures from rushes that were then used as platforms for fields and Mangroves.
