Ten Facts:

1. Searle used to enjoy sitting in front of fires late at night, but after his health began to decline, he stopped, dismissing it as a waste of the little time he had. He started up again after he recovered.

2. He never reads his mother's letters. He keeps them in a wooden box in the back of one of his drawers. More than once, he's taken them out to burn them, but he's never been able to take that last step.

3. Ren is three years older than he is and as a result, she occasionally coddles him. He secretly relishes this.

4. Searle is very close to his younger brother Ietrin. He has also become attached to his sister Elhina upon meeting her, and the two frequently write.

5. He finds Eilyssa attractive and briefly considered having an affair with her before handing her over to Deian, but he realized that he loves Ren too much to do that to her.

6. Searle's uncle Koradril and his first wife Eldona were the closest thing he had to parents growing up. He was devastated by Eldona's death and still sees Koradril and his children often; however, he was not fond of Koradril's second wife, Svanhild.

7. He has an incredible discomfort concerning pigs. He refuses to eat pork, ham, and bacon, and prefers to avoid any place where he might encounter a pig if he can help it.

8. Apart from his immediate family and the uncle and cousins he grew up with, Searle has very few friends. He is a prime example of a brilliant mind with an incredible lack of social skills.

9. He is highly claustrophobic.

10. Searle never lies; he finds misleading ways to tell the truth.
