Darkon
Astravia’s fallen prince and leader of the Scale
Darkon was a compassionate prince and musician who wanted Astravia to treat its people fairly. His love for Suki and care for their adopted daughter Song grew alongside his wish to reform a kingdom hostile to outsiders. Betrayal, grief and the power of The Fool turn that idealism toward collective punishment: he tries to replace a cruel world with one that cannot choose cruelty. Yet his love for his family never disappears. Confronted with the freedom his promised paradise would erase, he finally recognizes that Suki would not have wanted it.
