I haven't ever run into one... are there any out there?
My group is having a little friendly discussion about what the actual percentages of humans in the PFS might be... so I got to wondering about VCs... they pretty much all seem to be human.
Wait.. there's that elf guy.. the Master of Scrolls.. he's not exactly a VC though is he?

I'm still not convinced that Robert Hetherington is entirely human. He seems born of the seas, never entirely content with human activities.

Well, there was a dwarf, but he kind of went bad...
And yeah, Master of Spells Aram Zey is an elf, and I think he also qualifies as a Venture-Captain.
I think that you are thinking of Master of Scrolls Kreighton Shaine (Aram Zey is human). And yes, the three Masters do count as Venture-Captains.

I thought something similar.
I'm actually pretty sure the local VC is a programmed image.
/joke before someone thinks I mean something derisive
But Osprey is a Seeker, not a Venture-Captain.Frak, you're right. I was thrown off by how flippantly he sends pcs to certain death. That's a real VC quality there, he should get a promotion.
He didn't have enough fame. Must have been a GM credit baby back when they didn't gain fame or prestige for their endeavors.
I was going to make a crack at my VC, but it's just too easy to be worth it. The bar is so low.
It's early, so I feel spry enough to limbo-dance under that bar with my VC.

Drendel Drang sure looks like a dwarf in his pictures, but I don't know if he actually is. (The dwarf racial ability that increases your darkvision but gives you light sensitivity would explain his penchant for working at night, too.)
In earlier seasons, there's a guy named Dannel Hamshanks who has no description or picture. He carries a battle ax around the lodge (dwarf?), mentions a statue being "about as big as me" (gnome or halfling, maybe?), and swears by Gorum. I think we've decided that he's a halfling, and maybe related to Ledford...

There is a reference in Seekers of Secrets.
Initiates’ lives are run entirely by a consortium of three deans, all venture-captains in their own rights: the Master of Swords, the Master of Spells, and the Master of Lore.

OK.. pot shots aside so we have:
Kreighton Shaine - Male Elf
Tymon - Male Dwarf
Calisro Benarry - Female Half-Orc
Varrian Jagerre - Male Half-Elf
Nicolai Aldonai - Half-Elf
So far our group's tally of characters created has come up with about 33% human.. although I'm not sure how those numbers would skew if we based it on scenarios run/played.

Sayrin Firewyne is a gnome Venture Captain.
Pathfinder wiki has a list of venture captains.

That seals it, I'm going to work extra hard for my LG (Silver Crusade) Wayang Summoner to become a VC, and then write/submit scenarios (with her) to paizo until she gets accepted as a cannon VC.
We have to have SOME variety in our VCs, and we also have to have someone accurately representing how crazy pathfinder builds can be.

Have you ever met Sayrin? Seems like she's just a name in a book.

But he's as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot chain

Pathfinder lore extends beyond what we find printed in scenarios. Considering we can apply certs to our characters from those books, I'd consider them to be PFS legal precedent. She may be "just a name in a book" now, but some author may want to use her for a mission in the future. Golarion is a big place, and employs more than just the handful of VCs who have appeared scenarios published to date.
Her title isn't invalidated because she hasn't assigned a mission that gives a chronicle; same goes for any other VC found in a book. If nothing else, they're great fodder for scenarios that have yet to be written and published.

I'm only half human. Or half something. Maybe troll.
Jarl Rukk, while your ability to withstand punishment puts a troll to shame, I am quite certain that after traveling with you, you are a half-orc. I look forward to sharing in another journey with you, as I believe together we make Gorum quite proud.

So, is there a thread for "I Survived Eyes of the Ten and became a Venture Captain!"?
Mine would be human, but has the Captain part of the title way too many times.
Ship Captain (owns the ship vanity)
Eagle Knight Captain (again, a couple of Andoran vanities to get there)
Venture Captain (survived Eyes and succeeded, has an Undine protege...)
Kinevon (who one of the local GMs didn't like, since he has trouble handling the Trip stuff)
Human, 15th level Fighter (Polearm Master)
My other two Seekers are both Human, as well.
Then again, most of my PCs are human...

No, I haven't. I have never met Desna or Pharasma in a scenario, so perhaps they are just names in a book, both existing and not at the same time. It's a paradox....
Perhaps it is like, if you put Sayrin in a box with a small sample of Abysium, a flask of Green Prismatic poison, and a timeworn radiation detector(TG). If the flask is rigged, by a level 10 ranger (trapper), to break if the detector detects radiation, then the posion is released, killing the gnome Venture Captain. According to Arcanarium interpretation of quantum field mechanics, the VC is represented by a wave function that includes both alive and dead possibilities. So if you haven't looked in the box, the gnome VC can both exist and not exist. A paradox!
*No gnome VCs were hurt in this thought experiment.
