The younger brother of Tlennen-Sieraec and married to Ndara Cassad, the Sierandael is the head of the royal Academy to which the boys are sent to learn of warfare. He has dedicated his life's ambition to leading the Marlovan army in war and intends to serve as advisor and maintain power once his nephew the Sierlaef ascends the throne. To that end, he has worked to ensure the Sierlaef feels loyalty and debt toward him, while alienating him from the intended Sierandael-to-be, Evred-Varlaef.
* BelievingTheirOwnLies: It is mentioned a few times that part of what makes the situation with him so difficult is that he wholeheartedly believes that what he's doing is right. He really does think his way of doing things is the only right way, and that, for example, ship-to-ship battle is a ridiculous concept because warfare cannot possibly be decisively fought on water.
* EvilUncle: It's a bit more complicated than flat-out evil, but he essentially plays this part to Evred and the Sierlaef.
* ParentalNeglect: He really, really doesn't give a damn about his son Barend, even effectively thinking "good riddance" when he is told his son is probably dead.

* PetTheDog: He is generally an arrogant, spoiled and entitled brat, completely unable to accept Joret's rejections of his attention and generally making a dishonourable ass of himself in literally everyone's eyes... but he also genuinely likes and cares for Hadand, his intended wife, and tries to come up with a way to give her honour even as he continues pursuing Joret.
The son of Ndara and Anderle-Sierandael, he gets along well with Hadand and Sponge when they are children and is in fact the person who gave Sponge his nickname. Never having attended the Academy, he was sent to sea at a young age and has loved it ever since.
* [[AbusiveParents Abusive Dad]]: Even by the standards of Marlovan's heavily violent culture, the Sierandael's attitude toward and treatment of Barend is pretty nasty.
* ChekhovsGunman: He has a few scenes early in the first book, but it is mentioned later in passing that his ship was taken by pirates and he is presumed dead. Then he shows up at the very end of the first book with the pirates taking over Inda's ship, and becomes an important character for the remainder of the series.

Inda's elder sister and the intended wife of the Sierlaef, whom she is afraid of because of the way he treats Sponge. At her mother's behest, she helps Inda learn the women's secret martial art, the Odni.
The wife of Tlennen-Sieraec/Harvalder and mother to Evred and Aldren-Sierlaef. A princess from Anaeron-Adrani across the mountains, she was sent for political reasons to marry the Marlovan king. She loathes Marlovan culture, fearing its dedication to violence and viewing many of the Marlovan practices as barbaric.

* JadeColouredGlasses: He has an extremely cynical view of the world, convinced that there is no justice in it.
