Appearances
So far Verne has appeared in 2 of 4 parts in Hunted. In chapter 1, he is sitting inside the coach and opens the door to allow the class to board. He has no dialogue.

In chapter 3, Verne pulls Michael to one side and explains that there may be trouble with the return trip due to strict weather warnings he has been given. To make things easier, Michael suggests that Verne pick them up in the afternoon and Verne agrees before leaving for the road. At the end of the chapter, Verne is listening to some music when his engine busts, causing him to pull over. Whilst taking a look, he hears low eerie breathing coming from a few bushes near him. He decides to take a look but when he finds nothing he just assumes that its some dumb teenagers playing a prank. However he is horrified when he returns to his coach as his engine has been torn to shreds. Terrified, Verne runs back into the coach and looks the door before attempting to reach someone on the radio. He has no such look. Creaking can be heard on top of the roof followed by something dragging along the metal which grows closer to Verne until it just stops. Verne takes a look outside and regrets it when he see's the Wendigo charging towards him. It smashes through the windshield and then rips his throat out with one swift swipe with its claw before dragging his body away.
