"That House Yulewood persist with their isolation has caused me no end of worry. So I'll have you fulfill your role to the fullest."

Utilitarian Strategist

A surprisingly ambitious sadist who used callous methods to become a brigadier general at a young age. He dismisses Grimnals as depraved, openly discriminating against them. He's particularly severe with Kanoa and his powerful Gift, and flagrantly abuses his position.

He's skeptical of the heroine's claims of being a Yulewood, ridiculing it as a lie.
