Cahil Zadkar

The exiled elder Prince of the northnern Zadkar kingdom. His half brother's mother has schemed to put her own son on the throne instead of Cahill during the King's weakness, and resorted to abusing him before sending him to the fearsome Hyperion Empire. He puts on a weak front to others, but reveals a surprisingly intelligent side to the young Enisha.

Like his country's founder, he has made a contract with an Ice Spirit, and has gained powers from that which let him bypass a lot of magical defenses.

The only warm spot in his otherwise cold demeanor is towards Enisha, a fact that puts his life in danger from her murderously overprotective father and brothers.
