4	[[folder: Isidore d'Aiglemort]]
5	!!Isidore d'Aiglemort
6	Duc of the province of Camlach and a skilled warrior. He plots with Melisande to betray Terre d'Ange to the Skaldi by letting them in the mountain passes of Camlach.
7	----
8	!!Tropes applying to Isidore:
9	* AmbitionIsEvil: Melisande was able to use Isidore's ambition to push him into committing treason.
10	* TheCorruptible: Isidore's ego and ambition made him susceptible to Melisande's toxic influence, which led to him betraying his former friend Baudoin and committing treason.
11	* DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler: Phèdre informs him that he's dead no matter who wins the war, which leads to his HeelFaceTurn.]]
12	* DeathSeeker: [[spoiler: He knows he's dead no matter who wins the war, so he chooses a hero's death to avoid being remembered as a traitor.]]
13	* DefeatingTheUndefeatable: [[spoiler: Selig was believed to be immune to weapons. Isidore killed him anyway.]]
14	* DisappearedDad: To Maslin.
15	* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler: After finding out Melisande betrayed him, he switches sides in order to get back at her.]]
16	* DuelToTheDeath: With Selig at Troyes-le-Monte.
17	* [[spoiler: DyingMomentOfAwesome: Manages to kill Selig before dying himself.]]
18	* FallenHero: Was a war hero before he turned traitor. He regains his hero status after his HeroicSacrifice, though.
19	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: He rejoins the side of the heroes after discovering that Melisande played him for a fool the whole time.]]
20	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Dies in the battle of Troyes-le-Mont after killing Waldemar Selig.]]
21	* [[InSeriesNickname In-Series Nickname]]: The Skaldi call him ''Kilberhaar'' in reference to his silver hair.
22	* MasterSwordsman: One of the most skilled in the series. Being descended from the angel of war definitely helps. He's so good that he managed to [[spoiler: kill Waldemar Selig after fighting through hordes of Skaldi to get to him.]]
23	* MeaningfulName: Aiglemort means "eagle death" in French. Isidore's standard is a silver eagle.
24	* NewChildLeftBehind: Left behind a pregnant lover when he went off to war.
25	* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Subversion. The Camaelines are a proud warrior race, which leads everyone to downplay Isidore's intelligence due to the belief that they all "think with their swords." As a result, everyone underestimates him.
26	* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: He duels and kills Selig, taking his death wound to do it, atoning for his role in orchestrating the invasion.]]
27	* [[WhiteHairBlackHeart Silver Hair, Black Heart]]: Isidore has silver hair (hence his Skaldic name, Kilberhaar) & is a traitor to Terre D'Ange.
28	* TakingYouWithMe: Manages to kill Selig, taking his own death wound in the process.
29	* ToxicFriendInfluence: Melisande is this to him, encouraging his ambitions and ultimately leading him to commit treason.
30	* UnwittingPawn: Was played for a fool by Melisande, who was only using him as a distraction to allow the Skaldi to invade unnoticed. Once the Skaldi won she had planned for D'Aiglemort to be executed as a traitor to the country to tie up any 'loose ends'. Once Isidore found this out, he was furious and decided to get back at Melisande in whatever way he could.
31	* WeUsedToBeFriends: Betrayed Baudoin de Trevalion, who'd been his close friend for years, by exposing his treasonous plan to usurp Ysandre as the next monarch of Terre D'Ange.

35	[[folder: Tarren d'Eltoine]]
36	Camaeline nobleman and captain of the Unforgiven.
37
38	----
39	!!Tropes applying to Tarren d'Eltoine:
40	* TheAtoner: As one of the Unforgiven, he believes guarding the border forever against the Skaldi is Kushiel's punishment for letting them in the passes. It is also their chance at redemption.
41	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Is initially reluctant to leave the border when Phedre asks, but agrees to it since the Unforgiven are also sworn to obey Kushiel's chosen.

44	[[folder: Claire Fourcay]]
45	A member of Circle of Shalomon.
46	[[/folder]]
47
48	[[folder: Maslin de Lombelon]]
49	!!Maslin de Lombelon
50	Bastard son of Isidore d'Aiglemort, who died before he could acknowledge him. Maslin serves as a foil to Imriel, since they are both sons of traitors but they are treated very differently. Because of this, Maslin holds a lot of resentment toward Imriel.
51	----
52	!!Tropes applying to Maslin:
53	* BastardBastard: Starts off as this due to his resentment and jealousy of Imriel. He gets better eventually once he accepts that Sidonie chose Imriel over him.
54	* BetterAsFriends: He and Sidonie.
55	* DeadGuyJunior: Was named after his grandfather, Maslin d'Aiglemort.
56	* DeclarationOfProtection: He becomes the captain of Sidonie's guard.
57	* DontYouDarePityMe: Maslin is very proud and prickly and does not want anyone's pity. Part of his resentment toward Imriel for giving him Lombelon is the notion that he did it out of pity.
58	* FireForgedFriends: [[spoiler: He and Imriel become friends during their time together in Vralia.]]
59	* {{Foil}}: To Imriel. Both are sons of traitors, but Imriel was welcomed into the royal family and Phedre's household while Maslin's parentage went unacknowledged. Imriel is a prince and Maslin works as a servant on the estate he was supposed to inherit.
60	* GreenEyedMonster: Maslin is very jealous of Imriel due to the differences in their circumstances.
61	* HeroicBastard: Eventually becomes this.
62	* InTheBlood: Like his father, he's a skilled swordsman.
63	* LoveTriangle: With Imriel and Sidonie.
64	* MasterSwordsman: Inherited his father's skills, though he started learning late.
65	* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Imriel gives Maslin his estate of Lombelon and Maslin deeply resents him for it.
66	* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: Chooses to stay in Vralia and serve as ambassador at the end of ''Justice.'' He isn't seen again until the very end of the trilogy, when he shows up for Imriel and Sidonie's wedding.]]
67	* RagsToRiches: Starts out as a laborer in the orchards that were supposed to be his inheritance, ends up [[spoiler:ambassador to Vralia.]]
68	* ReassignedToAntarctica: He's sent to spend time with the Unforgiven in Camlach after beating Raul L'Envers y Aragon badly in a duel.
69	* RelationshipUpgrade: He and Sidonie begin sleeping together in ''Justice'' after Imriel marries Dorelei and goes to Alba.
70	* TheResenter: Maslin is deeply resentful toward Imriel. They are both sons of traitors, but they are treated very differently. Imriel was welcomed into the royal family while Maslin's parentage went unacknowledged and forgotten. Imriel was adopted by Phedre and had Joscelin teach him how to fight while Maslin labored in the orchards he was supposed to inherit and wielded a pruning hook instead of a sword. This resentment begins to diminish once he and Imriel come to an understanding in Vralia.
71	* TheRival: To Imriel, though it's rather one-sided since Imriel would rather befriend him.
72	* RomanticRunnerUp: Sidonie ultimately chooses Imriel over him. He accepts this, realizing that he and Sidonie are better as friends.
73	* StrongFamilyResemblance: He bears a strong physical resemblance to Isidore, & also inherited his skill with a sword.
74	* TellMeAboutMyFather: Maslin is very interested in his father and eagerly listens to any memories of Isidore anyone shares with him.

77
78	[[folder: Quincel de Morhban]]
79	Sovereign Duc of the province of Kusheth. He is one of Phedre's patrons.
80
81	----
82	!!Tropes applying to Quincel:
83	* BrainsAndBondage: He's a canny politician and is very into BDSM.
84	* TheRival: To House Shahrizai, who consider their Kusheline blood to be superior to de Morhban's. As a result, the Shahrizai believe they should be the ruling house of Kusheth. Melisande makes a point of emphasizing this when she attends de Morhban's Midwinter Masque with Phedre on a leash.
85	* SexForServices: Phedre offers him an assignation in exchange for passage through his lands.
86	[[/folder]]

89	[[folder: Thelesis de Mornay]]
90	!! Thelesis de Mornay
91	The former King's Poet to Ysandre's grandfather, King Ganelon, now Queen's Poet to Queen Ysandre. Though she is considered plain in Terre D'Ange, she has a beautiful voice and her poetry is famed throughout the kingdom.
92	----
93	!! Tropes applying to Thelesis:
94
95	* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Despite being seen as the most skilled poet across the kingdom (and possibly in-universe too) she always considered Anafiel Delaunay the better poet.
96	* TheConfidante: To the Dauphine Ysandre.
97	* TheExile: At some point in her life she was exiled to Alba, for reasons unknown. It was there she wrote her famous poem ''The Exile's Lament''. It is because of her exile in Alba that she is trusted with Ysandre's and Delaunay's secret plan to bring Drustan onto D'Angeline soil so Ysandre can marry him.
98	%%* [[MrExposition Mrs Exposition]]
99	* OddFriendship: She becomes one of Phèdre's closest allies after the events of ''Dart''.
100	* PlainJane: One of the very few examples in the whole of Terre d'Ange. Phèdre notes that her voice however makes up for her lack of beauty.
101	* ThePowerOfTrust: Thelesis is so trusted by Ysandre and House Courcel that none of the palace guards bother checking her for weapons. As the Dauphine's confidante and the King's (later Queen's) Poet, she is above suspicion.
102	[[/folder]]

121	* FaceHeelTurn: He supports Ysandre and leads the D'Angeline forces against the Skaldi in ''Dart.'' He then helps Melisande escape from Troyes-le-Mont & pledges his support to her & Benedicte. To be fair, he only turned because Melisande blackmailed him into aiding her.
