Secretary and Alise's childhood friend
Sedric Meldar is a refined secretary, fastidious about his appearance and a childhood friend of Alise, whom he accompanies on her expedition. Attached to the comforts of the cities, he endures the journey into the Rain Wilds as an ordeal, torn between his old friendship and his own private torments. Beneath his polished manners lies a man of far more complicated loyalties than he appears.
