Devlon is an Illyrian camp-lord of Windhaven, known for overseeing the training of young warriors, including Rhysand, Cassian, and Azriel. Though strict and traditional, he allowed them to enter—and win—the Blood Rite, earning their place as Illyrian warriors. Devlon fiercely upholds old Illyrian customs, particularly regarding female warriors, often resisting efforts to let women train. Centuries later, he remains the leader of Windhaven when Rhysand and Feyre return to the camp.

The King of Hybern is the ruthless ruler of the Hybern kingdom and the primary architect behind both the first war against humans and the later war against Prythian. A brutal strategist and skilled practitioner of magic, he refused to relinquish human slaves during the first conflict and later spent centuries preparing for a second invasion. Manipulative, calculating, and relentless, he used the Cauldron, ancient spells, political deception, and deadly force in an effort to reclaim power and re-establish Hybern’s dominance.

Vassa is the youngest Mortal Queen, betrayed by her fellow rulers and cursed by Koschei to become a firebird by day. Sharp, perceptive, and fiercely resilient, she escapes her prison long enough to help defeat Hybern and later forms a powerful alliance with Lucien and Jurian known as the Band of Exiles.

Keir is the steward of the Hewn City and Morrigan’s abusive father. Known for his cruelty and political ambition, he attempted to control Mor through an arranged marriage and later punished her brutally when she defied him. Their relationship is now defined by hostility and distance—Mor despises him and uses her authority in the Night Court to keep him out of Velaris whenever possible.

Jurian is a legendary human general from the War, known for his ruthless intelligence, fierce loyalty to humanity, and willingness to sacrifice himself to secure their freedom. Betrayed, tortured, and resurrected by Amarantha, he emerges scarred but determined, ultimately revealing that his alliances and actions were driven by the desire to warn Miryam and Drakon and to oppose Hybern from within.

Alis is an urisk from the Summer Court who serves as a maid in Tamlin’s Spring Court manor. After losing her sister and brother-in-law to Amarantha’s attack, she protects her young nephews and later becomes a cautious but caring guide to Feyre. Alis helps Feyre escape the Spring Court and eventually returns with her nephews to the Summer Court before the War with Hybern.

Clotho possesses magic typical of High Priestesses, which she primarily channels through spellwork and telekinetic control. Because her hands were permanently damaged, she uses her magic to lift, move, and organize books throughout the library. She also uses her power to write and communicate, spelling out words on paper in place of speech. Her magic allows her to carry out her priestess duties despite her physical injuries.

The Lady of the Autumn Court is a powerful High Fae born to a prominent fire-wielding bloodline. Forced into a political marriage with Beron Vanserra, she endured years of abuse and heartbreak, especially after her secret love affair with Helion. Despite her suffering, she remains a devoted mother—most fiercely to Lucien, whose fire magic may come from her lineage.

Viviane is a High Fae of the Winter Court and the mate—and later wife—of High Lord Kallias. Loyal, warm, and courageous, she safeguarded a hidden Winter Court refuge during Amarantha’s rule and later fought beside Prythian in the War.

Thesan is the High Lord of the Dawn Court, recognized for his diplomatic leadership and powerful healing magic. He is the son of a Xian refugee and the previous High Lord.
