Khagan
Two envoys and a queen's chest of gold couldn't buy his armies for the war. One healer saving one of his daughters did it in an afternoon.
The Khagan — Urus — is the emperor of the Southern Continent, ruling from Antica, from Throne of Glass — father of Sartaq, Hasar, Kashin, Arghun and Duva, and the man Chaol and Nesryn are sent across the sea to pull into a war he's certain is already lost. He won his throne by killing his own brother, and it takes the death and near-loss of his daughters to change his mind.
