Vakel Tolreth

Race: Human

Age: 30

Location: Deceased (killed in Xranta)

Vakel Tolreth was one of Lord Jevic's lieutenants. A powerful sorcerer and dedicated follower of Jevic, Vakel served as Jevic's eyes and ears in Xranta, and he was responsible for retrieving the Design. With the help of Tevon, Vakel convinced the Ciphers that he had defected from Lord Jevic; and he then manipulated them into exploring the fortress of Kalnor, hoping to gain intelligence from them or simply have them killed. Once the group of Ciphers and its hostages - Xranta guards - did not return from their journey into the city's sewers, he had planned to enter Kalnor and retrieve the Design. However, because of his closeness with Aewyn Ardreth, he was arrested through her efforts, and his plans thwarted. He used his time as a prisoner to feed Xranta's government plenty of intelligence about the Ciphers so that their extermination would inevitably hasten. Hoping to please Jevic, Tevon soon freed Vakel from jail, but their plans were dashed by Xranta's discovery of Tevon's treachery.

Before his death, Vakel seemed to reveal two connections: one to the Design; the other, to Jevic.
