Mekanni

Notable Quote:
 * At the start of The Zarder, Mekanni is the ruler of the Night Kingdom, a position that once held great respect. A mass exodus from the Night Kingdom meant the position had become a job of simply watching over the Onizards while were sleeping.
 * A traumatic fight in his past left Mekanni with two mangled legs and a "sickness" that occasionally made him forget where he was and see past events instead of present events. Think of a dragon-sized empath suffering from untreated PSTD and you'll begin to understand why this sickness was so dangerous and difficult to control. Mekanni's sickness brought him the cruel nickname "Mad Mekanni". Only Lady Delsenni was able to successfully keep his sickness under control.
 * He acted tough as a teacher to hide his fears of what could happen to Jena and Senraeno if they were caught. His gruff exterior hid a gentle heart.

''Do you have any idea whatsoever of what you’re up against? The Fire Queen will not fight fair, and she will watch you for your weaknesses. She will delight in finding out what makes you scream in terror, and once she finds out, you had better pray to the Lord of the Sky that she kills you quickly. But she will not kill you quickly.''
