Emanuel

Biography

Rivalry with Linley

Emanuel initially praised Linley's talent and urged him to reach Highgod naturally, but his attitude changed when he recognized the Coiling Dragon ring as an ancestral Sovereign artifact. Coveting it, Emanuel issued a life-and-death challenge and later remained hostile after losing his opportunity. He nevertheless fought beside Linley on clan missions and survived the consequences of his father Forhan's betrayal, though suspicion continued to shape his conduct. (Chapters 566–572, 574–577, 583–589, 591, 593, 606–607)
