Rhysand

High Lord of the Night Court, half High Fae and half Illyrian, and the most powerful High Lord in history. He spent decades as Amarantha's captive Under the Mountain, helped Feyre through her trials, and became her mate. He leads the Inner Circle in the war with Hybern, dies and is revived, and later fathers Nyx.

1. At eight he is taken to an Illyrian war camp for training, where he meets Cassian and, a year later, Azriel. source
2. After Tamlin's family kills his mother and sister, Rhysand and his father raid the Spring Court; Tamlin kills Rhysand's father and both young men become High Lords. source
3. Amarantha takes him as her captive Under the Mountain, where he is held through the years of her rule. source

1. At Calanmai in the Spring Court he drives off three faeries harassing Feyre and asks who she is. source
2. Under the Mountain he heals Feyre's shattered arm in return for a bargain that sends her to the Night Court each month. source
3. After Amarantha's death he persuades the other High Lords to revive and remake Feyre, and feels the mating bond fall into place. source

1. He brings Feyre to Velaris and introduces her to the Inner Circle. source
2. He takes Feyre to the Prison to question the Bone Carver about Jurian and the Cauldron. source
3. He goes with Feyre and Amren to the Summer Court and steals half of the Book of Breathings, leading Tarquin to denounce the Night Court. source
4. Hybern's ash arrows bring him down; Feyre learns from the Suriel that she is his mate and later accepts the bond. source
5. Hybern attacks Velaris, having learned of the city through the mortal queens. source

1. He attends the High Lords' meeting at the Dawn Court Palace and takes away Tamlin's ability to speak. source
2. He dies while he and Feyre reforge the broken Cauldron, and the High Lords bring him back at her request. source

1. At the Winter Solstice he visits the Spring Court and finds Tamlin alone, and buys an estate in Velaris to build a home. source

High Lord of the Night Court, a half-High Fae and half-Illyrian from the Fae Homeworld, mated to Feyre. Bryce Quinlan meets him in Velaris after escaping Midgard and is struck by how much he looks like her brother Ruhn. He greets her in the Old Language. His own story belongs to the ACOTAR series.

1. Rhysand and Feyre walk in on Bryce, newly arrived in Velaris with the Starsword, and Rhysand introduces himself to her in the Old Language. source
