Sinner Iriul

Okay, see those polls on each side of this page... I'm not sure if I've pointed them out before, but yes, there are ten names of who your favorite character is... well, I don't intend to just leave you hanging like that in the dark without any back ground before you vote. I've talked about two girls, Aurora and Mist, and one guy, Aveir. I think I'll talk about another guy now. 

Sinner Iriul (pronounced Sy-ner [long "i" instead of a short "i" like we usually use. Hey, I can change things, this is a different world, they have different rules to their language] I-rye-oul) is an important character in the second and fourth books. He will be a side character in book five, and might be mentioned in book one (not certain on that yet).

Sinner... Sinner... well, he's a very wise man who ends up saving several hundred lives, is once again a key factor in the downfall of the Sessak Council... and is a Sessak himself.

Well, like I said in my post about Sessak, they're evil... very evil. And they're tyrants. King Rirakell (Aveir's father) of the Eastern World is king when this Sessak Council is formed and takes control of the Western World. Rirakell can't help but feel responsible for what has happened, so immediately he begins to infiltrate the Sessak Council with elves which are loyal to him. Sinner, though not loyal to Rirakell, has nothing in the Eastern World, other than some family who he feels like doesn't even love him... (one of those down on himself times) so he agrees to give himself to this infiltrating of the Sessak Council. This happened before book one, so the reader may never know unless I decided to have a flashback scene about the event.

Sinner is in the council for over 130 years before he and the other infiltrators manage to rip the Sessak Council suddenly apart. Sinner, now having revealed himself quickly leaves Ashton (the Western World's capitol) as quickly as he can, taking his wife, Lynn and Mist and her uncle Comet with him, saving all of their lives by getting them out of the city which is now suffering from sudden anarchy.

Because it's spoileristic I will say it, but don't say I didn't warn you. SPOILER!!! at the end of book two Mist happens to discover a way to revers the whole Sessak thing and Sinner is returned to his elven form rather quickly. Every one lives happily ever after... that is until several people are killed, one assassinated and the Forgotten Prophecy is fulfilled... yeah.

Non spoilers now! Sinner is the truest friend anyone could ever have. He's brilliant and often stands up for what he believes, even when that means he's risking his life to do so. He is often a councilor of those around him, some one everyone trusts. Um... I would say something but it's a pretty big spoiler... oh well, Sinner and Rune are brothers, Rune the older of the two, and though close in their youth, before Sinner left to infiltrate the Council they have a very... unhappy argument/fight and before Sinner left the two of them would avoid each other. Just so happens that 130 later they're still uncomfortable around each other, but they're not at one another's throats.

Oh, fun fact that you guys might want to know, Sinner has the Sessak abilities of speed, mind reading and can hear things from really far away... most Sessak only have three abilities, and mind reading being one of the more common ones.  

That's pretty much it, other than he has blue-green eyes. Eye color is one of the few things that never changes when an elf becomes a Sessak. Just thought you'd like to know.
