About The Characters: Meet the Minor Players in “The Wall Of Night” Series — Meet Kair
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 — in alphabetical order, of course!
(The quotes, together with the covers, indicate the books in which the character appears.)

Kair: a House of Fire cavalry commander
Malian estimated at least fifteen gathered about the long, central trestle…the expressions regarding her ranged from neutral to openly assessing. … Resolution characterized their faces… but she only retained a handful of names: Valadan, tall and stern faced, was second-in-command of Fire, while Kair was a cavalry commander, and Daile had come from the Hedeld fort…Learning them all was going to take time. A night’s rest, Malian reflected wryly, should also help.
