About The Characters: Meet The Minor Players In “The Wall Of Night” Series—Meet Keron
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.)

Garan groaned inwardly as he turned and saw Dalay and Sri in the doorway, with an apologetic Keron—who was supposed to have been watching the approach to their quarters—beside them. You could at least have coughed, too, Garan thought, his eyes meeting the young guard’s—but then decided he was being unfair. Keron couldn’t have anticipated that his eight-leader was going to give in to stupidity at just the wrong moment.
