---->--'''"Jamethiel's lament"'''
Jamethiel's twin; Tirandys and Terribend's maternal half-brother; Glendar's paternal half-brother. Gerridon betrayed his people to the Perimal Darkling.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Hasn't been seen in action yet, but in ''Dark of the Moon'' Jame ''really'' didn't want to have to fight him, which says a lot about his abilities.
* DealWithTheDevil
* TheDragon: He's not the ultimate evil, but Perimal Darkling itself is more of a primal force of chaos than a character. Gerridon's the human-scale bad guy, with many aspects of the BigBad.
** DragonWithAnAgenda: He serves Perimal Darkling's goals, but rather than having any real ''desire'' to turn the universe into a chaotic, shadow-infested wasteland, he does so only because of the DealWithTheDevil he made to secure his immortality. Arguably, this makes him ''worse'' than Perimal Darkling, as it's to all appearances an EldritchAbomination that's just following its nature, while he ''chose'' to be evil.
* TheFaceless: He conceals his face behind a mask of shadows during his rare on-page appearances
* ImmortalityImmorality: Gerridon selling his people out to Perimal Darkling, the BigBad, for immortal life is a pretty classic version of this trope. He wipes out two-thirds of his people, mostly so their souls can be harvested to keep him alive…
* RedRightHand: Gerridon's right hand is artificial and made of silver; this is because Jame cut it off with a knife during AttemptedRape of the "forced marriage" variety.
* SorcerousOverlord
* {{Twincest}}: With Jamethiel.
** It's a case of VillainousIncest--{{Subverted|Trope}}. When you first hear about them, it sounds like pretty standard VillainousIncest--they are the most infamous people in the entire history of the Kencyrath, after all. But as the story goes on, you find out twincest was culturally sanctioned in their time, and very traditional. And while it's fallen out of popularity somewhat, incest still isn't shocking or unheard of.
* WifeHusbandry: Taking Jame in at age seven and bringing her up and training her so he can make her his replacement consort and immortality conduit.

[[folder:Jamethiel]]
!!Jamethiel Dream-Weaver
!!!The Mistress
--->''Then went my lord Gerridon to his sister and consort, the priestess Jamethiel Dream-Weaver, and said, "Dance out the souls of the faithful that darkness may enter in." And she danced. Two-thirds of the People fell that night, Highborn and Kendar."''
---->--'''"Jamethiel's lament"'''
Gerridon's twin; Tirandys and Terribend's maternal half-sister; Glendar's paternal half-sister. Gerridon convinced Jamethiel to help him betray his people to the Perimal Darkling, though she didn't really understand what he was asking of her.
* [[spoiler: AlasPoorVillain[=/=]RedemptionEqualsDeath: When she faces Jame in the mountains, she is faced with a choice: keep dancing the Senetha and maintain her balance over the chasm, but also reap Jame's soul, or stop dancing and fall to her death, but let Jame go safely. She chooses to end the dance rather than destroy her daughter.]]
* [[spoiler:LukeIAmYourFather: Or, "Jame, I am your Mother," as the case may be]]
* MissingMom: [[spoiler:To Jame and Torisen]]
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Gerridon was her brother, her consort, and her lord.
* ObliviouslyEvil
-->'''Immalai''': Jamethiel Dream-Weaver didn't understand the evil that Gerridon asked her to commit until it was too late. She never really consented to it. Nonetheless, her abuse of power opened the deepest reaches of her soul to the void beyond the Chain of Creation where Perimal Darkling itself was spawned. […] The Dream-Weaver acted in ignorance and so bears only partial responsibility for her actions.
* OutnumberedSibling: She's the only daughter, in a generation with 5 sons.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: When she raped the souls of two thirds of the Kencyrath.
* PowerIncontinence: Once she started reaping souls, ''she literally couldn't stop''.
* {{Twincest}}: With Gerridon.
** It's a case of VillainousIncest--{{Subverted|Trope}}. When you first hear about them, it sounds like pretty standard VillainousIncest--they are the most infamous people in the entire history of the Kencyrath, after all.

!Changers
[[folder:Changers in general]]
* TheCorruption: What becoming a Changer involves.
* FirePurifies[=/=]KillItWithFire: Fire is one of the few reliable ways to kill corrupted beings like Haunts and Changers, and usually the most practical.
-->'''Tirandys''': Fire will kill me, if it kindles my blood. We changers scorned death, and now each one of us is his own pyre, waiting for the first spark.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent: The changers are never described as vampires but follow a lot of vampire tropes. They are created by sex, it seems, by coupling with vile, corrupted creatures of Perimal Darkling, the crawling, infectious chaos. The Darkling influence in them gives them long life, and the ability to shape-shift, both to mimic other humans and to take on a bat-like flying form. They become dependent on blood for energy, and have superhuman speed and toughness. They shun sunlight to a degree but can endure it, but fire is fatal to them, since their corrupted blood is intensely flammable.
* RubberMan. Stretching oneself appears to be the first thing a Changer finds that they can do.
* TheStarscream: Several of the Changers make it clear they ''don't like Gerridon at all'', for a variety of reasons. Most that are like this have the very logical fear he'll try to consume them to prolong his immortality after his supply of mortal souls runs out, and try to overthrow him traditionally. Tirandys is a somewhat more complex one, as he isn't ''openly'' treacherous and is acting from his [[NobleDemon sense of honor]]. Ironically, it's this same sense of honor that makes Gerridon trust him more than any of the others--the Master seems to know that his underling has no love for him, but also knows he'll never go against a direct order.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: The Changers can shift their forms at will, and can take on the appearance of a specific human, especially if they drink their blood or otherwise ingest the substance of the target.

[[folder:Tirandys]]
!!Tirandys
--->''"If the worst happens, child, if you do survive, at least I've taught you the Senethar by my example and honor by my mistakes."''
---->--'''Tirandys'''
Terribend's twin; Gerridon and Jamethiel's maternal half-brother; Keral's paternal half-brother. Tirandys followed Gerridon into the darkness because he was his brother--and because he loved his sister Jamethiel.
* BrotherSisterIncest: {{Downplayed|Trope}}, but it's said that his love for his half-sister, Jamethiel, was part of the reason he followed Gerridon. But it seems he was never more than a UnrequitedTragicMaiden, in that regard.
* MentorArchetype[=/=]ParentalSubstitute: Mostly in backstory, but as Jame's mentor, sensei and surrogate parent he fits this trope to a T, [[spoiler:including dying tragically in an ObiWanMoment at the end of ''Dark of the Moon'']].
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Tirandys decided to do his duty and follow his brother, Gerridon, into damnation despite the evil Gerridon did, because his reading of the Kencyr code of honor said it was the only choice. He regrets this later, and works from within to bring his master down within the letter of obedience.
-->''Tirandys was torn between loyalty to the then-Lord Randir--a third or bone cousin--and Gerridon Highlord, his blood-kin half-brother. Blood told. When Gerridon fell, Tirandys felt honor-bound to follow, even though he knew it would lead to his own damnation.''
* NobleDemon: With emphasis on the "noble". His honor compels him to serve Gerridon, but he tries to do the right thing as much as possible with his master's ExactWords.

[[folder:Keral]]
!!Keral
--->''"Mirrors aren't to your liking anymore, are they? We remember when they were, but that was millennia ago. Since then, you say, you have become immortal. The Mistress reaped souls to keep Gerridon of Knorth young; but you have gained your "immortality" by coupling with the foulest shadows that creep in the farthest rooms of the Master's House, across the thresholds of a hundred fallen worlds. Now you crawl back to them whenever lust or severe injury drives you and find renewal in their arms."''
---->--'''Immalai'''
Tirandys and Terribend's paternal half-brother. Keral followed Tirandys's example, and fell with Gerridon too.
* AxCrazy
* TheBrute
* ColdBloodedTorture: Apparently a hobby of his--the Dark Judge is an example of his handiwork, and Jame would have been if Tirandys hadn't protected her.
* MixAndMatchCritter: As a result of too much exposure to Perimal Darkling's power, he can't hold a single shape for long and generally looks like this.
-->'''Immalai''': But they warp you, Keral, body and soul, more and more each time. Even now you can no longer hold any true shape. Soon you will crawl on your belly like some pallid slug until your very bones liquefy. What price immortality then?

[[folder:Bender]]
!!Terribend
--->''"Poor Bender. He weakened for a moment, and his soul was stripped from him. Ever since, he has fought to regain it and to bring Gerridon to ruin; but the Master is stronger than he and keeps his soul hostage."''
---->--'''Tirandys'''
Tirandys's twin; Gerridon and Jamethiel's maternal half-brother; Keral's paternal half-brother.
