Rimek

Rimek Koden, Patriarch of House Koden, former Senator to the Council of the Nobility.

He is Marek's grandfather and initial antagonist. We meet him in Book One, and again in Book Two.

His first wife died giving birth to his first son, Mirilek.

When his first son, Mirilek, became of age to take over as sovereign of Serpent's Keep and Kayeport, Rimek moved to Kardis where he married his second wife, Jessia. Together they had two children: Mirria and Jakek.

When Mirilek was declared dead, Rimek returned to Kayeport with his new family and took over sovereignty.

He was disgusted by the damage Mirilek did to his familial estates, and takes out his anger on Marek. He forbids Marek from pursuing any career other than soldiery, even though he has no intention of naming Marek his heir.

Skills/Profession:

Unlike Mirilek, Rimek is a shrewd sovereign, rescuing Serpent's Keep and the Koden name from financial failure.
