Jaedor Parh

Jaedor Parh is an officer in the army of the Empire of Landis. He leads an attack on Ferra Village and is responsible for the death of Lilla Valclane and the supposed death of her husband Joshua.

He becomes obsessed with pain because of his feelings of terror stemming from Joshua's final threat on his life and, wishing to avoid conflict, ends up being appointed as warden of Xarx, the Landian prison island. Here he becomes deeply interested in brutal torture and interrogation. When Zeth washes up on the shores of the prison he identifies him from his clothes and tortures and interrogates him. It is only when he finds out that he is the son of Joshua that he crumbles and releases Zeth, who, slowly becoming consumed by his rage upon finding out about The True History, kills everyone in the base, torturing Parh and eventually executing him.
