Dalvir Hylondor

Dalvir Hylondor was the uncle of King Merikh Londor and Emilia Londor, the husband of Lady Edlyn Tussem, brother of the Queen Dowager Sunniva Londor, and the leader of House Hylondor and ruler of Hyne. Once, he was nicknamed the Battle Bear in his days as a young warlord with Altair Londor, but in his older age he is becoming regretful of his sins and is instead sickened by warfare. He was a major player in the Sworn Reprisal, fighting countless battles, including the Battle for the Gulf of Glass, and the Battle of Bulvinia.

Dalvir suffers from war-worry, and has a sword named Darkdust. He is also the main POV character in Rise of Iron.

Appearance and Character
Dalvir is a tall man, old with greying hair, which shames him. His face has begun to wrinkle and his once brilliant green eyes are starting to fade and lose their colour. He has ghostly pale skin, and his hair is wild and untamed. By many, Dalvir is considered to be honourable, but inside he feels quite the opposite, and is guilty every time he fights in battle. Dalvir believes he is not the man that he once was, and has become something weaker. He will do anything to protect his family.

Dalvir is illiterate, a subject which causes him quite a lot of embarrassment, but his niece, Emilia Londor, later comes to teach him to read and write. As well as this, he also keeps his war-worry secret.
