Fenrys

The charming one, the arrogant one, the one who never takes anything seriously — and the only member of the Cadre who took the oath on purpose, to save someone else.

Fenrys is a Fae warrior of Maeve's Cadre in Throne of Glass — a great white wolf who can fade across a battlefield, bound to a queen he hates by a blood oath he chose. He chose it to keep his twin brother out of her hands. It didn't work.

What he loves

Underneath the grin

Strip the wolfish grin and the fast mouth, and what's left is a short list he'd raze the world to keep.

His twin
Connall. The one he swore the oath for — and the one it couldn't save.
The freedom he won
Five hundred years bound; he knows to the marrow what it costs to stand unowned.
His brothers
The cadre. The one loyalty Maeve blood-swore and never actually owned.
The court he chose
Not sworn into. Chose. After five centuries of the difference, he'd know it better than anyone.

His heart

The twin he couldn't save

He took the oath for Connall — to keep him breathing, to keep them both in one piece. Then Maeve froze the bond and made him watch, and the thing he'd sworn everything to protect was the thing he lost. The grin came back after. The wound didn't.
