Character from The Kingkiller Chronicle by Patrick Rothfuss
A charming older nobleman who plays beautiful games of tak and may be playing a far more dangerous game behind every smile — the most likely candidate for Denna's mysterious patron.
Bredon speaks with the cultivated charm of a man who has been playing social games longer than most people have been alive. He befriends Kvothe at the Maer's court, teaching him tak — a game of beautiful strategy — with the gentle patience of someone who enjoys watching a bright mind discover new patterns. He is witty, generous with his time, and seems to want nothing more than good company and good games. This is precisely what makes him suspicious. He disappears from court periodically without explanation, his background is oddly difficult to verify, and his description matches what little Kvothe knows of Denna's patron, Master Ash. He may be a Chandrian, an Amyr, or simply a clever old man who likes tak. The uncertainty is the point.
An older gentleman with silver hair and the easy elegance of a man who has aged into his authority rather than out of it. He carries a walking stick with a wolf's-head handle and dresses with understated richness. His smile is warm, his eyes are sharp, and there is something predatory in his patience that only surfaces if you are looking for it.
