Whatever happened to Visser Two?

[musicman88]

Okay, so we know of Visser One and Visser Three in the beginning.  Visser One eventually gets beaten up and crushed and whatnot, so then Visser Three becomes Visser One.  But what about Visser Two?  Wouldn't he be the one to get Visser One's job?

visser 3 was more qualified, i mean this happens in the real world all the time.  If someone more qualified comes along they can get the job even if theres someone whos basically been waiting for it.

Woah, Visser 3 was the MORE qualified? Visser 2 must have had his head up his @$$!

[zaprowsdower]

Yeah, I mean the Council basically ordered the Vissers on Earth to follow Visser One's infiltration methods. From what we know, Visser Two was far more successful at this than Three; Two managed to get his host promoted to high-up in the navy and oversee the infestation of several in the military. Visser Three was far too arrogant and grandiose to follow this as well, and at every oppurtunity he tried to get the Council to adopt open warfare.
Sometimes, I remember what Esplin was like in HBC and AC and I think 'What the heck happened?'

It must have been his infestation of an Andalite host, they're pretty formidable on their own before you consider the morphing power. All that time spent in the body going around accruing the most powerful creatures in the universe, it must have made him feel invincible.

Well we don't really know how successful V2 was.
I doubt 2 of the 3 top ranking vissers were working on Earth at once, that host may have just been for the occassion. He is pretty high on the ladder, he can point and probably get any host he wants (which is why I'm amazed V1 kept Marco's mom for so long, wtf ???)

Plus V3 had been running Earth the longest, even he wasn't getting so far, and since Earth was top priority, they probably figured to make the top man in charge there a bigger figure, instead of sending in a noob to the planet.
And (final plus) V3 was the one pushing for open war, which the council was probably more in favor of especially after labeling V1 as incompetent.

I thought the visser chronicles kinda answered that question. I mean It was explained that the host of choice would have to be a human and I mean the yeerk wasnt promoted to visser one untill the boating "accident". and once your in charge of the entire infiltration of earth your host doesnt really need to be in power right, you would just give that to your most trusted yeerk so you could come and go from planets whenever necessary. plus never have to keep up an act it would be total life as a yeerk. right?

I'm pretty sure Visser Two was on Earth in the Navy for a long time. Could someone with #46 please verify or debunk this? I don't have it, in fact I don't have any of the Ax ones ??? .

[RYTX]

agreed nothlit but still, if you could have any host, would you really want a middle aged woman, even if you don't need it, why have a canoe when you can have a yacht :-/

And I don't have looked through the book lately, but why would V2 be in the Navy?
He would have authority over V3, which is wrong cuz we know he was running earth.
They never say what he was doing up until that appearance, seems odd he'd be working second string from a boat to me.

Very true but also in the visser chronicles I think we learned that visser two was a bit emotional. Maybe it was just a connection thing once you get used to the voice in your head why find a new one I think visser one just kinda liked eva. Ok so maybe not liked but lets say you hate some one but you are forced to spen every second of every day with them all the time, you kinda grow fond of them.

     Personally, I think both Vissers one and three eventually let themselves go. They started out as calculating, and competent leaders and ended up as the punchline to every joke told in the Yeerk Empire. And I think that has something to do with their relationships with Eva and Alloran respectively. They have major psychological issues, and I think that every Yeerk is at risk of forming an identity complex with their host; the brain being such a sensitive and crucial organ.

     For Visser One, experiencing pregnancy and the miracle of life made her feel as though she was a member of the human race. That's why she stayed with Eva for so long.

     Visser Three just got arrogant; trying to remain the ONLY Andalite-controller in the Empire.

     Visser Two was probably less emotional, and not as close--or obsessed with--his host. It's ironic that an ambitious and competent Yeerk--who was about to start WWIII-- lost a chance at a promotion because the Council was growing impatient.
