Tamlin

A High Fae and the High Lord of the Spring Court, he inherited the title unexpectedly after a night of bloodshed with the Night Court's heir. He carries Feyre to his court, loves her, and later guards her too tightly. When war comes he poses as Hybern's ally while spying for the courts, then leads his forces against Hybern.
