Connovan

Connovan was the former Rez of Ashai and the younger brother of King Bordran. He served his brother faithfully and was loyal to his brother's wife. When Bordran unexpectedly died Connovan, like many others, suspected the king's eldest son Caydean responsible. When he learned of Caydean's attempts to kill Rezkin, Connovan's predicted successor as Rez, he broke away from the king and took the Queen Mother with him.

He fled to Cael and was eventually discovered by Rezkin. While not trusted by his nephew he was allowed to remain on the island. After Tam went missing Tieran reluctantly sent Connovan to find him. He eventually discovered Tam had been taken by slavers but was not allowed to go after him.

Abilities
Connovan has shown a preference for the less obvious weaponry. He has shown to be a master at dagger combat capable of landing blows against Rezkin. He has also shown great skill in disguise and tracking, hiding among the refuges with ease and capable of tracking Tam's locations weeks after the trail went cold. He has at least some knowledge of poison and stealth, slipping in potentially dangerous beans without being seen.
