Andarist's Wife
His wife was A High Priestess of Dark named Enesdia, was sister to Kadaspala who is held prisoner within Dragnipur.
Endest : 'He (Endest) had clasped the hand of a dying High Priestess, sharing with her the bleak knowledge that nothing awaited her, nothing at all. He had stood, gods, so long ago now, staring down at his blood-covered hands, above the body of a sweet, gentle woman, Andarist's wife.' (TtH)
Quotes
“‘All possible cruelties are inevitable,’” Nimander said, “‘Every conceivable crime has been committed.’” Quoting Andarist yet again. (TtH)
‘explanations are ephemeral. They are the sword and shield of the attack, and behind them hides motivation. Explanations strive to find weakness, and from the exploitation of weakness comes compliance and the potential of absolute surrender.’ So Andarist had written, long ago, in a treatise entitled Combat and Negotiation. (TtH)
