People: Malachi

Malachi is a Hound, and a member of the Wild Hunt.

He is one of the oldest Hounds; one of the original three that Gabriel brought with him when the Hunt was summoned to Beth-Hill.

He was blinded by Stefan's Hound in Fire & Water (this was mentioned in The Secret of Redemption, the second Karen Montgomery story, so it's not really a spoiler.)

At the moment, writing anything else about him would probably be too spoilery, so I'm going to wait until Heart's Desire and Fire & Water are published before adding to Malachi's entry.

People: Lucas Lane

Lucas Lane is Jacob Lane's uncle and the Council Historian. He is also pretty much in charge of the Council nowadays; the elves who live beyond the Veil live in dread of what would happen if Lucas were to die.

He gave up his life to the Council early-on; it's more of a calling to him than an actual job, and he expects other Council members to feel the same way even if they do not. He's always been fascinated with the Wild Hunt; and he's always been unfailingly polite to Gabriel in the hope that he will win his trust.

Lucas would prefer that everyone asked him first instead of asking permission after the fact. But he realizes that as a member of the Council, he's in an odd position, and as the Council Historian, he is suspect no matter what he does.

He lives in a small stone cottage about a twenty minutes' walk from the Hunt's lair, right on the edge of the forest that surrounds Beth-Hill.

He is probably somewhere in his mid-70s.

Errata: Lucas Lane

Jacob's Uncle Lucas doesn't live in England, as is mentioned in the beginning of The Tenth Ghost. I must have been channeling too much Harry Potter when I wrote that.

He lives in Ohio, where he has lived for most of his life, in a small stone cottage not that far away from the Wild Hunt's home. There is a portal in his library that connects his house to Darkbrook's library; he found it much easier to do that instead of adding on a room to house more books.
