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.)

Guyon:  a knight in training, in the southern realm of Emer

They all seemed friendly enough, Carick decided, as Audin’s riders assembled around him…The only person who was silent while they waited for Raven was the young woman. She had led out a great, red roan warhorse and patted its neck while she listened to the cut andthrust of conversation between the other six, who obviously knew each other well. The youth swapping jokes with Hamar was called Arn, while Tibalt, who had a moth-shaped birthmark on his cheek, held a torch steady so that another young man, whose name seemed to be Guyon, could adjust his stirrup leathers.
