Character · Book 7, This Inevitable Ruin

Drakea

Author of the Cookbook's 22nd edition and its most prolific annotator: a crawler of the final Naga-run season whose notes — where to read safely, what the Nagas patched, a vow of wrath from the other side of the veil — are, Carl finds, borderline unhinged and a comfort.

His naga notes underpin Carl's briefing (ch. 8); a consoling note to Justice Light (ch. 20); 'Beware the naga' (ch. 42); Carl addresses him directly after the day's events (ch. 55). Not met in person; no interlude.
