Encanis

Also known as Gerrek

• Minor
• First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 22

A man dressed in the traditional costume of Encanis the Lord of Demons appears as a complete form of darkness during the Midwinter Pageantry in Tarbean, wearing a sheer black mask that fully conceals his face, a black hooded cloak, a dark robe, and black gloves on his hands. His entire body is enveloped so that he blends into the charcoal shadows and moonlit streets like a living piece of night, only interrupted when he offers a bright silver talent that catches the light. He leans close with ominous grace to examine a frozen boy's face, brushing snow away with dark fabric and gloved fingers in a scene of unexpected mercy from a figure of theatrical terror.
