Morfran

Role in Story:		Zhelyas' servant, ordered to hunt Caro down.

Occupation:	Assassin, army Commander.

Physical Description:	Black hair framing his face, blue eyes. Wears a silver mask to hide an old injury.

Personality:	Reserved, clever, somewhat acerbic, with a wry sense of humour, and tends to do as he pleases. As an assassin he was a peerless, remorseless killer, his skill without equal. When he first meets Caro he is snarky and temperamental, but his façade may may be more than skin deep.

Background:	Sold as a slave as a child, he runs away and is rescued by a tribe of assassins called the Sharir. He is given the name Mukhif and trains alongside another boy named Jabez. But he cannot let go of his rage and goes solo, adopting the name Morfran. It is in this guise that he meets the sorceress Veena who recruits him to serve as Zhelyas’ commander.

Notes:	Morfran means ‘great crow’, perhaps in reference to the birds that peck out the eyes of the dead.

His Sharir name Mukhif means ‘one who causes fear’.

He wields a longsword.

As one of the villains, his ‘sin’ is Wrath.
