Aether is the Abyss order’s leader, and has taken over the dark throne that once belonged to Khaenri’ah. And although he may be villainous and emotionless, Aether in reality is touch-starved and lonely. He wished his sister would just get out of the way, as he finds no need for her to be with him if she wants to stay as the hero. Aether just wants to rise Khaenri’ah back to its glory.
