Marek Ostran

Envoy Marek Ostran. Twenty-nine. Foreign witness from across the southern sea. Diplomatic immunity. Observes everything. Loyal only to a kingdom Saeris has never visited and Vidan has never seen.

FOREIGN ENVOY · KINGDOM OF OSTRAN MAREK OSTRAN Twenty-nine. Tall and elegantly lean in a way that reads as foreign in this northern court — warm bronze-brown skin, sun-warmed even in winter, dark espresso-brown hair worn shoulder-length and pulled half-back from his face with a fine silver cord, deep amber-gold eyes set in long dark lashes that seem to catch every detail in a room without ever appearing to look at any of it directly. The mouth of a man who has spent his life choosing his sentences carefully and his smiles even more so. He arrived three days before Saeris did, with a letter of safe-passage from his own queen and a trunk of books in four languages. He is here to witness the Salt Bind on behalf of the kingdom of Ostran. Diplomatic immunity. He cannot be detained, harmed, or threatened by either house, on pain of an immediate severing of trade between the southern sea and this entire continent. He has nothing to gain from this wedding. He has nothing to lose if it fails. He is, in this castle, the only honest witness. He has begun to suspect something is wrong. He has not yet been told what. "I am a witness, Lady Vance. I am paid to see the things no one else is allowed to. If you would like me to see something in particular — say so, and I will."
