Taynar Ryshard

The Avatar of Avatars.  A being of immense power from another World.  He is human in appearance, but of indeterminate age and with dark brown hair with an agile, well-muscled build that is clearly visible beneath the odd, tight-fitting dark clothing.  He possess completely alien magical and martial abilities.  His true motives are unclear, but he has promised to "keep an eye on things" as he can and is apparently fighting against Mazar-dur across many Worlds.  
He knows Cephandrius and finds him annoying.
