Dorter Van Harris

Dorter Van Harris is a member of the Queen's council. He has served as the monarch's spymaster for around twenty years before the beginning of the story.

History
Not much is known about Van Harris' life before the story, other than at some point, he served as a high-ranked officer in the army. This, most likely, is what gave him the title of Van.

Throughout The Story
Dorter is first seen interrupting a conversation between Rellan Din Trellis and his daughter, Orsella. He states that he wants to discuss "that subject" once more, and so takes the King away.

After Rellan's body is discovered the next day, Sir Caedric Kinkaid arrives at High Mountain the next day with news of Cormac Din Trellis' death. He takes Kinkaid into the tunnels to determine the truth by using the sorcerer Cigam Van Pinth. Upon learning that the knight ran, he scolds him and tells him he'll be "ruined."
