Elder of Samogitia, trusted ally of Grand Duke Vytautas — and in secret, the Master Commander of the Order of Shimshon. As a child, he watched his parents slain by Atrumans, and from that moment his life was sworn to their eradication. But fate turned cruel: defeated and Questioned by Jekuthiel Roth, Volant was transformed into the very thing he was raised to destroy. From that darkness, however, rose greatness. The only Incardian ever to master the fabled Knoxian Heightening Spell, Volant became one of the most renowned of his kind — a legend whose shadow still looms over the Ambler’s path.
