Portraits revealed through your current reading position.
Foul-mouthed one-eyed Howler chief and Darrow's truest friend, now an Imperator and family man.
Revealed in the wars as the half-Red son of Fitchner/Ares, Sevro is the scrawny, savage genius who leads the Howlers and stands as Darrow's closest brother-in-arms. He returns from Mercury—where he took Mount Caloris in the Iron Rain—as an Imperator, still wearing the reeking wolfcloak he claims not to have washed since the Institute. Married now to Victra and father to three daughters, he plays at domesticity: he dotes on his eldest, the grim little Electra, wagering trophies over the children's duels, and grumbles that his wife skipped the Triumph.
Beneath the crude jokes he watches the world with a wary mania, drinks hard, and guards Darrow's secrets—including the 'emissaries' neither will name to Dancer.
A small, scrawny, tattooed man with a pinched, thin-lipped face and a nose crooked as an old knifefighter's fingers, a weird mania behind the eyes; wears a filthy, reeking wolfcloak over ceremonial armor and keeps a baby-long blade in his boot.
Imperator and Howler chief; Darrow's inseparable friend and enforcer, now torn between war and fatherhood.
