A sub-species of humans who possess wings and magic-based powers. Their home realm is the four-region Empyrium, in the Lathrym. However, since the Third Age, they can be found throughout the universe. They are the arch-enemies of the Dekn, with whom they have been at war for many years.

* CultureChopSuey: Influenced by the visions they were provided of the Seeds -- specifically, Xren Seed[[note]]which essentially follows Earth's own RealLife timeline[[/note]] -- they evolved to mimic various cultures and adapt their trappings over the ages: first the Insular Celts, then Edo period Japan, followed by Baroque-era France. As such, they dress in kimono-like garments for formal occasions and emphasize harmony, familial bonds, honor, and tradition, practice swordfighting, yet are egalitarian in their beliefs.

The feared ruler of Destrus and leader of the Army of Nothing. He dwells (or dwelt) in Castle Diamus on the border of Destrus.

* EvilOldFolks: Though he wasn't a very nice guy when he was young, either.

->'''Appears In''': ''Muses and Magic'', ''Archives of the Scholar''

* ParentalFavoritism: Downplayed: while he favors Franz slightly over Sevar'khai, this seems to be more out of protective instinct (due to Franz being half-human), and he does make the effort to train both of his sons.

* BigBrotherBully: He constantly denigrates him (calling him a "filthy half-breed") and even tries to murder him during a sparring match

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: His daughter witnessed his death firsthand. According to Franz, she was horrified.

* TheWrongfulHeirToTheThrone: The only thing we know for certain about Sevar'khai that isn't from Franz's perspective. He's the only full-blooded and legitimate son that Tabbris Irinith birthed, but he apparently didn't rule very well. It's later confirmed that his subjects tried to overthrow him.

* ChildrenAreInnocent: She knows little of the political and personal entanglements of her family, and ends up being scarred for life after witnessing her father's murder.
