“About the Characters” features the less prominent characters, and sometimes outright bit players ( 😀 ), in The Wall Of Night series. Chiefly, because it’s usually the major characters that get all the spotlight and discussion, but:

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

~ Helen Lowe (from my Legend Award Finalist’s Interview)

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, by name, of course!

Rhaikir: a lieutenant in the Prince of Fire’s personal guard 

“The Heir of Night,” a cool voice said, as though the words themselves tasted unpleasant. … “Why did she take him alive? Is extracting intelligence one of her Derai talents?”

“Stow it, Rhai,” a woman said, and Malian heard the stir of armored bodies before Raven spoke again, his tone as even as the woman’s had been blunt.

“She knows Emuun is my First Kinsman, Rhaikir. She didn’t want his blood on her hands.”
