Falkan Ennar
He traded twenty years of his life for a bolt of cloth, and spent those same twenty years searching for a niece he'd never met. He gets both back in the same war.
Falkan Ennar is a travelling merchant of Adarlan and a latent shape-shifter, from The Assassin's Blade and Tower of Dawn — a man aged to near-fifty by a spider's price, whose stifled magic wakes on the Southern Continent, and who turns out to be Lysandra's only living blood.

His people
The ones who mattered.
Swipe to meet them all
The one he faced.
The one he faced
The war in the southern skies he took a shifter's shape against.
Swipe to meet them all
What he loves
One of the last, finally of use.
His people are all but gone from the world, and the gift they carried didn't go with them.
Becoming anything
A shape for any need — his people's oldest gift.
His own kind
Shapeshifters, nearly gone from the world. He carries what's left.
A use that matters
The gift finally aimed at something worth it: the war.
Scouting unseen
Through lines no soldier in his own face could cross.
The ones who are gone
Shapeshifters were hunted almost out of existence, and Falkan is one of the handful still standing — the same rare kind as Lysandra. He could have kept the gift hidden and stayed quietly alive. Instead he spent it on a war that needed exactly what only his people could do. If the line ends with him, it ends having mattered.
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.
