Rhysand

High Lord of the Night Court, who wears the mask of a monster to protect a hidden city of dreams.

The most powerful High Lord in Prythian, Rhysand rules the Night Court with a duality that has kept his true nature secret for five centuries: to the world he is the cruel, debauched Lord of Nightmares, but in Velaris he is the steady heart of a found family, a spymaster who plays the long game, and a male who has spent his immortal life sacrificing everything for the people he loves.

Appearance

Tall and lean, with raven-black hair that falls in perfect waves and violet eyes that shift from deep amethyst to near-black with his mood. His wings — when he chooses to reveal them — are bat-like, membranous, and span wider than a mortal man is tall, and he moves with the predatory grace of something that has never needed to fear anything.

Also known as: Rhys, Rhysand, High Lord of the Night Court, Lord of Nightmares, the Dark Lord, the Night Court's High Lord, the most powerful High Lord in history, the Lord of Velaris, the Spymaster
