Mr. Moros first appears as a wealthy, brocade-clad gentleman whose eye twitches with amusement or fury, a man who has paid handsomely for the hand of Maevyth Bronwick. In the second book his true nature is revealed: he is a cruel captor who imprisons Maevyth and other women in his mansion and cellar, abusing them and feeding some to the spider beneath the mangled tree. Across the series his role shifts from prospective husband to outright antagonist, his once-elegant façade stripped away to expose a predator whose actions continue to haunt Maevyth and her allies.
