Samis

Samis is the main antagonist of the series. He is a minor prince of Merithuros, and has the ability to sing chantments of the Power of Iron and the Power of Seeming, one of very few chanters who have mastered more than one power.

Background
Samis is a minor prince of Merithuros, raised in the courts of the Palace of Cobwebs. When he discovered he had the Power of Iron, he taught himself in secrecy, as much as he was able. Then, when he could not progress further by himself, he went to the Black Palace in the desert Hathara, where he forcefully took the knowledge from the sorcerers. He then murdered the Lord of the Black Palace and took the symbolic Ring of Hathara. With Darrow, he fled the Black Palace and headed for Gellan, where he learned the Power of Seeming.
