Damius

Damius is a member (and seeming leader) of Damius' tribe of the Vistani. He is the lover of Marielle and the brother of Lizette. He is the one who first came into contact with Marielle, the one who brought her into the tribe, and the one who convinced her to betray her old tribe.


Background

Damius first appeared to, and perhaps entranced, Marielle in a series of strange visions at a time when Marielle feared her own tribe would turn on her. She used several forbidden rituals to commune more directly with him, and they consummated their intimate relationship. Marielle eventually met the rest of his tribe, who seemingly welcomed her.

Damius claimed his tribe were cursed with infertility. They could only continue on if she were to draw a drop of blood from her friend Annelise's child. She complied, surreptitiously drawing the blood with a ring containing a hidden barb. She returned and laid with Damius for a time. After Marielle was stoned for her betrayal, she awoke and returned to Damius' tribe, now one of their own and knowing the curse had been lifted.
