Serefin Meleski
Everyone knows Serefin and his father have a strained relationship at best. Serefin doesn't know if the rift between them is due to fear, distaste, or the reality of sending Serefin away to war at such a young age. Serefin used to be desperate for his father's approval, but now he knows his father doesn't care about him and he will never win his father's love. Serefin never understood why he had been shoved aside to fight in war. Izak tries to gloss over it, but the truth is that Serefin is a talented blood mage and Izak is not. Serefin is also too opinionated and powerful, and is thus a threat to Izak's sovereignty.
