Captain of the Mistral (Howling Dark) / Tamerlane (Demon in White) and former second-in-command to the late Emil Bordelon. Betrayed him and Admiral Marius Whent’s cause at Lord Marlowe’s urging.

—LORIAN ARISTEDES, commander and tactical officer for the ISV Tamerlane. The bastard son of the Grand Duke of Patmos and one of his knights, a palatine intus plagued by idiosyncratic pain and connective tissue disorders.
—KARIM GARONE, called CRIM, lieutenant commander and security officer for the ISV Tamerlane, former Norman mercenary recruited during the Pharos affair.
—His paramour, ILEX, lieutenant commander, ship’s engineer. A dryad homunculus recruited on Monmara.

Appearance :
The woman was a giant, a freak -doubtless the product of Norman genetic wizardry. She must have stood five cubits high, more than seven antique feet. She was taller than any palatine lore of the Empire, would have stood head and shoulders and still more above even the Emperor himself. Her skin was like polished copper, her hair like coils of bleached bone.
