Veho Nex is latin for Rider of Death. He's the fourth rider of the apocalypse.

Eh?

You refer to the equus pallidus (white horse) from Revelations 6:8, right? Its rider is Mors, the Roman God of Death who was the son of Nox, the Goddess of Night.

Veho = I bring, I carry
Nex, necis = death

If you wanted to say 'I carry death' in Latin, it would have to be 'veho necem', or rather 'necem veho' which would be syntactically more correct. But it wouldn't mean anything since the Latin equivalent of the modern day expression 'putting to death' is 'ad necem dare' (literally 'deliver unto death').

In other words, in Latin 'Veho Nex' means, well, nothing at all.

Whassup with your name bro?

Why did your latin rant remind me of this?

Because you're a Total war gamer?

Anyway, to make things worse for myself I think I can actually reconstruct what happened. I believe our friend wanted to translate 'I bring death' into Latin. He took out an English-Latin dictionary, looked up the verb 'to bring' (always given in the first person singular, simple present, i.e. 'veho') and the noun 'death' (always given in the first and second declension, i.e. 'nex, necis') and then just strung them together. Of course the effort is laudable, even if the result is not.

Grave injustice. Nobody in particular always entitled to own donut.

True. Sadly nobody important is ever without donut.

[Ja'chyra]

The Jachyra's appearance is that of a man shaped beast with red skin and a thick ruff of fur about its loins. It has a cry that sounds like laughter, and its poison damages the body and soul. It relishes pain, and feeds on blood. The Jachyras were beasts that thrived on pain and insanity.

From the Shannara novels, but like everything else more and more people seem to be using it so I changed to Aeil which is slightly changed from Aiel from the Robert Jordan books, thinking if I changed it slightly there was less chance of others using it, no such luck. Might need to think of something else.
