Captain Zivant begins as a covertly disloyal Imperial Guard officer whose clandestine romance with General Loyce fuels a plot to betray King Sagaerin and seize Maevyth and the stones. In the second book, his allegiance hardens into ruthless enforcement as he commands the king’s guard, tortures captives, and hunts the missing prince while still serving Sagaerin. Across both volumes, his trajectory shifts from hidden conspirator to overt enforcer, trading whispered treason for open brutality.
Description
Captain Zivant wears an Imperial Army uniform, including a white tunic and black surcoat with purple heraldry. His pale blue eyes and disciplined military bearing make him appear controlled and alert. Weapons are strapped to him. Captain Zivant has a haughty bearing and wears shiny boots. In fury, he bares his teeth.
