Thresh
The wounded young beast Cael saved who became the nation's unbreakable wall and ultimate protector.
Thresh began as a wounded young beast, the second member of the Bound whom Cael chose to save rather than consume. This act of mercy forged a bond that transformed Thresh into the very muscle and shield of the nation, serving as the living 'wall' that held the line against all threats for its people.
Despite enduring severe wounds inflicted by Vraye in Book 4, Thresh's resilience carried them through until Book 11. Their journey concluded in Chapter 8, where they made the ultimate sacrifice to save a free-born young one, throwing the child across a failing bone-bridge before falling into the abyss themselves.
