Chef Toel Chef Toel is one of the most popular chefs in Umbriel . Lord Irrel sponsored his kitchen . Unlike most master chefs of the higher kitchens , Toel wasn ' t born to it . He started down working on the lower kitchens , and he made whatever was necessary to be promoted . Appearance . Toel was a Breton looking Umbrielian . He had high , delicate cheekbones and sensuous lips . His chin was long , slim and manicured . His hair was black , and his eyes sky blue . History . Umbriel Crisis . After Annaïg ' s success preparing Lord Ghol meals , Toel decided to invade Qijne ' s kitchen in order to kidnap Annaïg . The invasion started with explosions and fire . Qijne , accompanied by her most trusted cookers , scorted Annaïg to a safe room . However , a monster melted the valve and door of the room . Toel ' s men started to pour from the door . When Qijne realised it was all over , she decided to kill Annaïg . She would have achieved her goal if Slyr hadn ' t stopped her . Slyr nailed a knife in Qijne ' s neck , ending with her life . When the fight settled , Toel emerged from the warriors and presented to Annaïg . He told Annaïg not to fear him , from now on she would work for him . The day after Annaïg and Slyr were brought to Toel ' s kitchens , Dulg informed Annaïg she would breakfast with Lord Toel . She met Toel in his chambers . Toel asked her about how life was in Tamriel . Annaïg explained that she grew up in Lilmoth . She realised that Toel didn ' t know the word father meant , or that if a man and a woman procreate a baby is conceived . The Umbrielians were born from the Marrow Sump . Toel was silent for the most part of the conversation , only asking when he didn ' t know what a word meant . Once she finished speaking , Toel tried to convince Annaïg that she would never be able to return to Tamriel . Eventually , she would be as part of Umbriel as Toel or any other Umbrielian was . Toel was very satisfied by Annaïg ' s work . He came to expect the very best of her . He met Annaïg again in his chambers . He mentioned her that Lord Irrel was pleased by her meals . He also told her that she should make a decision : Slyr could stay with her , but if she decided to get rid of her , Annaïg would directly work for her as his understudy . Toel was disappointed that Annaïg decided not to betray Slyr . Finally , Toel implied that they would have intimate relations when she was ready for it . Slyr felt she was irrelevant in Toel ' s kitchen , and she started to distrust Annaïg . One day , she asked Annaïg to taste a dish she was preparing , but Slyr ' s intention was to poison her . When Annaïg realised she had been poisoned , she searched for ingredients for an antidote . She drank the antidote just before fainting . She woke up in Toel ' s chambers . Toel asked her how she wanted to have Slyr executed . However , Annaïg prayed Toel to let her live . The guards pushed Slyr inside the room . Toel ordered to clean her up to have intimate relations with him . Toel asked Annaïg to prepare some remorse out of horse brain for Lord Irrel ' s thirty - third course . Annaïg doubted that a horse could feel remorse , so Toel decided to kill Kohnu , who had been wounded and wouldn ' t be able to cook for weeks . The next time Toel invited Annaïg to his chambers , he told her that he was disappointed with her for sparing Slyr ' s life after she had poisoned her . However , Toel still found Annaïg and her creativity useful . Toel told her that Phmer , Luuniel , Ashdre and him would compete in a tasting for Lord Rhel . He entrusted Annaïg to find the ninth savor , a savor that had only been discovered by Phmer . Annaïg finally concluded that Toel wanted to her to steal the savor from Phmer . The day after she suposedly stole the savor , Dulg informed Annaïg that Toel required her presence . Phmer and her assistants were also waiting for her . Phmer accused Annaïg of stealing the savor from her . Toel informed her that if she was found guilty , he would have to give her over to Phmer . However , Annaïg had discovered the ninth savor on her own . She had also fooled Slyr to wear her dress with a vial full of the ninth savor . Everybody thought Slyr was the thief , and Toel allowed Phmer to take possession of Slyr . Phmer also asked Toel to let her interrogate Annaïg . Yet , Toel refused her petition . After Phmer was gone , Toel was curious to know how Annaïg had stolen the savor . Annaïg explained him how she had reinvented the savor and tainted Slyr ' s dress with it . Before leaving , Toel tried to intimate with Annaïg . Annaïg kissed him , but she told him that she would so it in her own time . Once the skraws started sabotaging the kitchens , Toel suspected of the other kitchens . He asked Annaïg to develop a recipe to breathe underwater . Annaïg , Toel and his guards went to the tunnels that conected the different kitchens . They discovered Wert with a nutrient injector . Toel thought that Phmer had turned the skraws against him . Mere - Glim had been following Toel through the tunnels , so when he saw that they were going to kill Wert , he attacked the guards . Glim had advantage underwater , so he easily beat Toel ' s men . Toel managed to make a cut in Glim ' s belly with his spear , but Glim stroke him in the face . A wounded Toel ordered Glim to let him go , but Glim refused to do so . Toel ' s eyes started to glow in a silver color . Glim ' s muscles started clenching uncontrollably and his fingers lost their grip . When Annaïg saw what Toel was doing to Glim , she thrusted Toel with her invisible knife . The blade sliced cleanly through the joint of his elbow , ending with his life . Toel ' s body was hidden in Phmer ' s kitchen surroundings , to make it look like Toel was killed trying to invade Phmer ’ s kitchen .
