In Vecna Lives! (David "Zeb" Cook, 1990), Vecna is described as having lived in the "near-prehistory of Greyhawk, before the migrations, before the wars between the Suel and the Baklunish, perhaps even before the ascendancy of the Suloise Empire".I liked that he was Flannae - mixed it up a bit. Not every Suel is the same and not every powerful bad wizard had to come from the Suloise tradition. The Suel have got plenty of powerful history and bad guy types in Greyhawk. They have the invoked devastation, the Maure family and the Scarlet Bros.
Though I’m not sure how far back the Vecna as Flannae started.
The exact location of his empire is unknown.
No new information about his background appears in Vecna Reborn.
In Die, Vecna, Die!, Vecna's servants speak Flan.
In the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer, in the Gods section, it calls him "a terrifying and evil Flan lich-king". It's pretty much the only source to do so.
Cheers,
Merric
