Quednys Orlun

Book 1
Quednys Orlun is an aged and angular human with an eagle's talon tattoo on his cheek. Founder and head librarian of Blackwing, Quednys was at the Cathedral when the attack began, and was instrumental in saving several citizens from certain death. He suffered a nearly fatal wound in doing so, losing his left arm, but survived after he was brought to Defender's Heart and healed.

Book 2
Infamous for being cantankerous and strict at the best of times, Quednys has taken up the role of advisor to the Heroes of Kenabres and the newly minted Terendelev's Triumph. He frequently works as taskmaster to the paladins of the army, ensuring the troops move quickly and efficiently and brings that same energy to the war table as the frequent voice of logic among the advisers.
