Rook

A charming con artist and card shark, born Alarook but known only as Rook. Orphaned at five, raised in the streets, he survives by his wits, lies, and the ability to read people. His bond with Myx — a Servine (a dog/tiger hybrd creature of the Everloop) he met as a starving boy in an alley — is the one true thing in his life. He infiltrates Sera's settlement, exposes her tyranny, and enters her Fray-repelling tower to retrieve the third Shard of the Pattern known to the Archive. He possesses the rare gift of seeing through facades — including his own. Master of the Everloop (Card Game), he uses FRAY traps to empty his opponents' gains.
