King Eyod of the Mountains begins as a solemn ally and mentor to young Fitz, his jade eyes and scarred body bearing witness to a life of sacrifice and duty. Wounded by arrows through chest and back in defense of his people, he endures chronic lung damage yet remains a pillar of regal wisdom. As the mountain prince Rurisk's father, known as the Sacrifice and King-in-Waiting, he navigates treacherous politics with Fitz, his grave counsel shaping fragile alliances before fading into the realm's tense background.
