Agmar

Agmar is a former elite of the Hidden Kill Sect who adopts Luther and later becomes one of the sect's top assassin-instructors. Their separation defines his later life, and their reunion makes his vote decisive in a leadership crisis.

Biography

Separation, regret, and a decisive vote

Agmar was himself an orphan left to the Hidden Kill Sect, so he recognizes something of his own childhood in the untalented but relentless Luther and formally adopts him. Their bond grows closer than that of father and son until Agmar's wife, fearing for her biological child, forces Luther to leave while Agmar is away and lies about his motives. Years later, after their son dies on an assignment and his wife confesses before dying of grief, Agmar retreats from contracts and devotes himself to teaching while blaming himself for the loss of both boys. Daneel reunites him with Luther, and Agmar promises a life-debt in gratitude. He repays it by voting for Daneel's assumed identity, Master Novrain, to control the sect and later proudly supports Luther's own return as a participant in the assassination tournament, publicly calling his adopted child his son. (Chapters 382–405)

Appearance and personality

The corpus gives Agmar no detailed physical portrait, emphasizing instead the quiet presence of an older assassin and instructor. He is usually taciturn, respected even by peers who dislike aspects of his nature, and impoverished because grief has led him to teach rather than take lucrative contracts. His deepest traits are paternal loyalty, guilt, and the ability to honor a debt without demanding a lengthy explanation. (Chapters 382–399)

Abilities and power

Agmar was once among the Hidden Kill Sect's most talented assassins and remains recognized as a top assassin after retirement from regular contracts. His professional skills include assassination training, stealth doctrine, and enough standing and personal ability to cast a binding leadership vote during crisis. The supplied chapters do not state his exact realm, personal weapon, or signature assassination technique, so his rank should not be converted into a specific cultivation sublevel. (Chapters 382–405)

Relationships

• Luther: Agmar adopts Luther, loses him through his wife's deception, and spends years regretting the separation. Their reunion confirms that Luther never blamed him and restores the parent-child bond that shaped both men's lives. (Chapter 382)
• Daneel Anivron: Daneel arranges the reunion through Luther and gains Agmar's promised favor. When the sect faces destruction, Agmar's vote helps transfer control to Daneel's Novrain identity. (Chapters 382–386)

Items

No individually named item is firmly assigned to Agmar. He communicates through ordinary trinkets and operates within the Hidden Kill Sect's equipment and formations, but the supplied scenes do not identify a personal named weapon or artefact. (Chapters 382–405)
