Biography

Patriarch and information broker

Zeph first assesses the outsiders Kira brings to his clan and quickly recognizes that their presence will upset his rivals. Rather than fighting only through open force, he uses agents in cities such as Lexicon and relays developments across the Demon Realm, including the movements of the Black Dragon and Felix. He gives William a room, participates in clan planning, and eventually agrees that the Thousand Beast Domain is a refuge far better than the desert's harsh conditions. His reports continue to shape William's decisions before the later war council. (Chapters 1018, 1044–1045, 1085, 1093, 1101–1104, and 1242)
