Talis Mikaels
Astravian Innkeeper in Ashray
Talis is a former royal guard who took over his family’s inn when his father became ill. He remembers kindness from the prince who preceded Drago’s rule, but also carries shame for abandoning people when they needed help. He returns for the Hero during Astravia’s collapse and promises not to leave anyone behind again. Displaced from Astravia, he becomes an outsider himself and rebuilds in Ashray. There he quietly shelters Mi and their family despite the harm they caused, acknowledging his own inaction.
