Sòlas Ó Caisidei

Watching his father’s troubles as a moneylender permanently shaped Sòlas’ worldview. He trusts no one, anywhere, to do anything agreed upon, ever—except his brother, Colla Ó Caisidei (page 59). If you’re anyone else he won’t loan his quill, agree to meet anywhere at a specific time, or trust that you feel the way you say you do, or that anything about your behaviour is anything other than a clever ruse to conceal some other real intent. He only trusts books—and only some of those—because they may have instructions that dictate actions that yield applicable results. Thus, he enjoys cooking and casting spells. He’d like to make potions, but the books suggest that he isn’t ready yet. He’ll keep studying. Please don’t bother him or he’ll bar you from the room.
