[[AC:Desolane]]
A tall, horned, sexless daemonoid lifeward, charged with guarding [[spoiler: General Noches Sturm while Sturm held on Gereon]].
* [[AbsurdlySharpBlade Absurdly Sharp Blades]]: Wields dual ketra blades, and he's very good with them.
* AmbiguousGender: Appears to be sexless, and its voice isn't fully male or female.
* BadassCape: Wears one that flows with its movements and seems to be not quite attached to its body.
* HornedHumanoid: And with cloven hooves rather than feet.
* OurDemonsAreDifferent: It seems to have daemonic traits, but it isn't outright stated whether or not it actually is a daemon.
* NoMouth: Its head is covered bronze mask that seems welded on, with slits for its horns and eyes. [[spoiler: Sturm, which still the amnesiac pheguth]], wonders how it eats, or ''if'' it eats.
* PetTheDog: Desolane comes to genuinely care for the pheguth's well-being, but [[spoiler: he doesn't like the pheguth's transition back into Noches Sturm.]]
* WhatBeautifulEyes: Its eyes are blue, and very humanlike, as the pheguth notes.

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: An amusing recursive example. In the books the descriptions of him are pretty blatantly meant to make readers think of Sean Bean, the actor who portrayed {{Sharpe}}. The cover art, on the other hand, depicts him with darker hair and generally looking like Sharpe was described as in his own books.

* Nepotism: Fears this is the reason behind his FieldPromotion to Meryn's adjutant. It's not entirely clear if this was the case or not, since Meryn does point out that Dalin is well-suited to the position, even if he is relatively young, but it is still possible that who his parents are played some role in Meryn's decision.
