# Iovan (Ninth Chair)

<blockquote>

  Iovan was Lothrian through and through. He had the Lothrian gray pallor, the black Lothrian hair, the blunt features and black eyes . . . but no. Iovan’s eyes were gray, and seemed to glow in the dim light of the cabin in the same glassy, reflective way Valka’s eyes did in the right light. They weren’t real. Seeing confusion writ on my face, Iovan said teasingly, “You don’t remember? I’m hurt.”

Planted by MINOS, allies of [SYRIANI DORAYAICA](https://www.suneater.wiki/books/cielcin-BHz/page/syriani-dorayaica), to persuade the Grand Conclave to deal with the Cielcin. The Commonwealth would sell its people as food and help capture HADRIAN MARLOWE, and in return, the Cielcin would not siege their planets. The Commonwealth would then be in position to take advantage of a weakened Sollan Empire when the Cielcin Wars were over. </p>
