Kazhimyr begins as a silver-haired, gold-eyed Letalisz assassin in service to King Sagaerin, wielding a dagger that becomes a spear and supporting his brother Zevander during the chaos at Corvus Keep. In the second book his fortunes collapse: he is captured, tortured, and branded, yet he escapes alongside fellow prisoner Ravezio and re-enters the fray as an oath-bound protector of Prince Dorjan and his siblings. Despite lingering injuries and shifting allegiances, he remains a steadfast ally to Zevander and Dolion, balancing his assassin’s past with new loyalties forged in captivity and flight.
Description
A man with silvery hair and bright gold eyes. He wears black leathers and carries daggers at his hip; after travel, dirt clings to his face. In chapter 23 he wields a curved double-bladed dagger that extends into a spear and sends white mist from his palm. A man with silvery hair and bright gold eyes, wearing black leather clothing and carrying daggers, including a curved double-bladed dagger. His eyes appear icy blue when he uses his power. His face is often dirt-streaked. In chapter 8 he is shackled with chains biting into his wrists; later he bears a healing bruise on his cheekbone, leg and knee wounds, and a seared skinny black band around his wrists.
