- taken sometime not too long after the epilogue to Dark Ages: Tzimisce. Seeds of the eventual Anarch Revolt starting to root based on their words in the epilogue: possibly starting to plot against Symeon? (Symeon's Final Death occurs in 1550: Convention of Thorns takes place in 1493.)
- Really not in a good place though not entirely aware of it, between Ilias's (apparent? actual? who the fuck knows anymore with the Azhi Dahaka chapter from Beckett's Jyhad Diary) death, the Eldest literally grafting the Dracon's essence into them + all that trauma, and remembering everything to do with being made into a proxy of their great-grandsire as a gift for Michael the Patriarch and that entire experience. On top of Michael's compulsion re: the Dream.
- Does not yet realize that they're genderqueer/specifically don't identify as male or female, still in unaware dysphoria stage. Following the Road of Sin would probably have led them to their answer a couple of centuries sooner except for all the trauma, though they've found their answer by the Convention of Thorns. At this point, still presents as male.
- Don't fucking touch them. Seriously.
