Royalty of Crotheny
William Dare
King of Crotheny at the start of the series; brother to Elyoner, who is roughly his age, and the twins Lesbeth and Robert, who are twenty years younger.
- Anyone Can Die: Despite being a point of view character who looked like hie might be due some character development, dies towards the end of the first book. Downplayed in that his death is foreshadowed in various ways.
Elyoner Dare
Muriele Dare
Robert Dare
William's dark, much younger brother.
- Knight of Cerebus: Robert's presence in a scene guarantees that it will be dark and foreboding.
- The Sociopath: A pretty classic example, although it can be argued that he has a genuine (albeit twisted and controlling) affection for his twin sister.
