Line 10:
* [[Combat Pragmatist]]
* [[Determinator]]
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Even without the [[Buffy -Speak|demonic cancer thing]], his greying beard makes him seem rather older than his mid thirties.
 
== Iselle ==
Line 32:
== Ista ==
 
* [[Blessed Withwith Suck]]: Sainthood ain't all it's cracked up to be...
* [[Broken Bird]]: ...as a matter of fact, it [[Heroic BSOD|drove her mad]] the first time around.
* [[Dark and Troubled Past]]: Adultery, betrayal, treason, murder, madness...she's got it all.
* [[I Was Quite a Looker]]: It's how she feels now that she's reached middle age, though Illvin seems to think she's still got it.
* [[May -December Romance]]: She was eighteen when she married the thirty-something Ias.
* [[Rebellious Princess|Rebellious Dowager Royina]]: Perhaps it runs in the family....
* [[The Snark Knight]]
Line 66:
* {{spoiler|[[Dead All Along]]}}
* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Ahrys and his mother were well provided for but completely ignored by Lord dy Lutez.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Illvin confides to Ista that Ahrys believed as a boy that if only he was good enough, his father would call him to court.
 
== Lord Illvin ==
Line 80:
 
* [[The Berserker]]: When his spirit-wolf takes over, he becomes insatiably blood-thirsty.
* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]]: Ingrey's "defilement" gives him superhuman strength, a [[Compelling Voice]] and a [[Troubled but Cute|dangerous, angsty air]].
* [[The Fettered]]: In more ways than two. Ingrey is constrained by his honor code and his oath of service, which in the course of the novel begins to conflict with his equally ironclad sense of chivalry. His wolf adds yet a third dimension--he must keep its wild tendencies "bound" by a vaguely spiritual mental discipline.
* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]
Line 87:
== Ijada kin Badgerbank ==
 
* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]]: Ijada's spirit animal.
* [[Hot Amazon]]: At least Ingrey thinks so.
* [[The Ingenue]]: Though she's highly intelligent and practical-minded, Ijada had lived a sheltered, provincial life.
Line 94:
== Wencel kin Horseriver ==
 
* [[Blessed Withwith Suck]]: Congrats! You can [[Charm Person|bespell people around you]], control animals, and have powers to thwart the gods themselves...what could go wrong? Well, the way you did it was to {{spoiler|involuntarily [[Body Snatcher|steal the bodies]] of your descendents and lock them in a [[And I Must Scream|sensory-deprived]] mental prison}}.
* [[Blue Blood]]: Ijada and Ingrey are nobility, but Wencel outranks them quite a bit, as an Earl.
* {{spoiler|[[Really 700 Years Old]]}}
Line 100:
== Prince Boleso ==
 
* [[Zero Percent0% Approval Rating]]: Even Ingrey's silver-tongued employer can't come up with anything nice to say at his funeral, having to settle for something vague about "young lives cut short."
* [[Dead Guy Onon Display]]: For various reasons, but mainly as a member of the royal family, his death must be universally confirmed because of its effect on the order of succession.
 
== Jokol Skullsplitter ==
