Connall
His twin swore an unbreakable oath to Maeve to protect him. Years later Maeve used that same oath to make him drive a knife through his own heart.
Connall is Fenrys's twin brother and one of Maeve's blood-sworn Cadre, from Throne of Glass — the quiet dark to Fenrys's loud gold, a black wolf to a white one. He is barely on the page, and his death is the single cruelest thing Maeve ever does — the wound that makes Fenrys who he becomes.

What he loves
Quieter, not lesser
Fenrys's twin ran darker and said less, but the short list of what he'd die for had a single name at the top.
His brother
Fenrys. Above the oath, above Maeve, above his own life — and he'd have called that order obvious.
The twin bond
Blood-twinned and oath-twinned both. What ran between them was the one thing Maeve never fully commanded.
The steady dark
He ran quieter and grimmer than his brother, and never seemed to begrudge Fenrys the light.
Loyalty without noise
His love didn't perform. It just stood where it was needed and stayed there.
The brother he'd choose over the oath
Everything Connall was bound to, he was bound to by force — except the one bond he'd have chosen, which was his brother's. Maeve understood that better than anyone, and used it accordingly. His story ends the way hers so often made them end: cruelly, with the person he loved most powerless to reach him.
We're Caffeine and Curses. The Library started as my design research — I can't put Manon on a shirt without knowing which way the iron teeth snap — so we keep the notes here where everyone can use them. The pages are fan-made, not official; the licensed designs are in the shop.
