About The Characters: Meet The Minor Players in “The Wall Of Night” Series — Anvin
This year, I’ve resumed my “About the Characters” post series that focuses on the minor characters in The Wall Of Night series — because “I think it’s the presence of the smaller characters that “makes” a story, creating texture around the main points of view.”
Initially, the series focused exclusively on characters from The Heir of Night, but now I’m continuing on with minor characters from both The Gathering Of The Lost and Daughter of Blood simultaneously — in alphabetical order, of course! (The quotes, below, are the key to whether the character appears in both or only one of the books.)

Anvin: a Derai and Son of Blood, sixth child of the Earl of Blood; full brother to Kharalthor, Hatha, Liankhara, and Sardonya; half-brother to Parannis and Sarein, also to Myrathis

‘… Anvin sat beside Teron and the two appeared to be enjoying each other’s company. The Night warrior was leaning forward to see better and plying Anvin with questions. Myr saw the scene again through his reaction to it: not just the densely packed arena and crowded galleries, but the rock walls of the amphitheater that was hollowed from the mountains—so significant a natural feature that Blood had built their keep around it.’
