It is important to point out the connections between V and the Roman numeral V. For starters, the name of the book itself is five syllables. V is an individual with a vendetta. Each chapter in the book has a "V" in the title. Also in Chapter 1, when the fireworks go off and the letter "V" emerges, it is at once his name and a remembrance of his time spent at the Larkhill Resettlement Camp in Room V.

Every time V leaves a crime scene, he leaves his mark, which is the circle with the letter "V" in the middle. This serves as a reminder too, to the people he seeks for his vendetta the significance of "V." They do not make the connection however.
