The Earl of Wick, a Scottish noble forged in the Highlands, Octavius once stood as the Assenter of Volant Kesgaila. Now he carries that lineage forward, a guardian of prophecy and a believer in the Ambler’s rise. Regal yet battle-worn, he has sought out young Garrick not to shape him into a weapon, but to prepare him for the weight of destiny itself. Octavius moves with the grace of a noble and the resolve of a man who knows the world will break if the prophecy is left unfulfilled.
