The About The Characters post series focuses on the minor characters in The Wall Of Night series, in large part because:

“I think it’s the presence of the smaller characters that “makes” a story, creating texture around the main points of view.”

~ from my Legend Award Finalist's Interview, 2013

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, together with the covers, indicate the books in which the character appears.)

Gol: a warrior from the Derai Alliance’s House of Swords

A gust of wind set the nearby tent flaps fluttering, but Kalan kept his eyes on the Sword line. The older warrior, Gol, stepped closer to Orth. “Perhaps,” he said, speaking in Derai, “we should wait until after this tourney truce is done. It will not help our work if we are banished from this realm. Or dead.”

When Kalan crossed into the outer camp, it was not just Jad and the remaining exiles, but Kelyr and a dozen caravan survivors…who waited to leave with him. His brows rose at the sight of Kelyr, and the Sword warrior shrugged. “Fighting is what I know, but I doubt I’ll be welcomed back into Swords. Kin and Blood was just an excuse,” he said, before Kalan could ask. “Another of our number, Gol, had already sent written word of Tirorn’s loss before we left Ij.”
