Who they are

Where you meet themSpoilerShow
Lacra wants to question him about Brencis's weaknesses. The Uriash Matriarch reveals where he is in Song of the Mountain, and Hive and Seek takes you through a kobold cave to reach him.
DownfallSpoilerShow
Brencis, Ambrus and Bakir could not beat him until Xanthe's blood whips held his limbs. They buried him alive in a cave, where kobolds fed on him for years, since his healing made him an endless food source.

He sired Brencis and travelled with him and Lacra. He forced Brencis to watch his wife Helvia die to cut his ties to the past, and later told him he should have killed him.
