Hakatri

Character from Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn by Tad Williams

Ineluki's elder brother — a Sithi prince whose burning by dragonfire set in motion the chain of grief and rage that would eventually wake the Storm King.

Hakatri was beloved — by his brother Ineluki most of all. He was a prince of the Sithi in the time before the Fall, when the world still worked the way it was supposed to. Then he joined a dragon hunt, and mortals — cowardly, unreliable mortals — failed to hold their position, and the dragon's fire caught him. The burns didn't kill him. They did something worse: they persisted, agonizing, unhealable, turning an immortal life into an immortal torment. Watching Hakatri suffer is what broke Ineluki. The rage that would eventually forge the sword Sorrow and create the Storm King began here — not with a city's fall or a people's extinction, but with a brother's scream that wouldn't stop. Hakatri himself is a gentle figure in the lore — more tragic than angry, more broken than vengeful. He is the wound that Ineluki couldn't heal and couldn't forgive.

Appearance
