Tiergan Andrin Alenefar (Keeper of the Lost Cities)

File:Tiergan.webp
**Sir Tiergan Andrin Alenefar**, also known as Granite, is a secondary character in *Keeper of the Lost Cities.*

He is a Telepath and Sophie's Mentor at Foxfire. He also teaches Fitz Vacker, another talented telepath.

## Nicknames

He does not like being called Sir Tiergan, preferring just Tiergan.

During *Neverseen*, Tiergan is revealed to be Granite, part of the Collective of the Black Swan. Tiergan and Granite are anagrams, both having the same letters.

## Appearance

Tiergan is described to have olive skin, shoulder-length pale blond hair, and dark blue eyes. It also states that he has a short ponytail on the back of his head. While his face holds youth, something ancient shines in his eyes. He is described as tall and lean, but slightly shorter than Alden.

As Granite, he is described to look like a vague, bulky statue, due to the Indurite (a type of chalk) that he consumes.

The name Tiergan is of Irish origin and it means "strong-willed."

## Abilities

* **Telepathy**

Tiergan was one of the most talented Telepaths before Sophie Foster came, which is why he was appointed as her Mentor.

## Relationships

* **Wylie Endal (adoptive son)**

Wylie was adopted by Tiergan after both of his parents were lost. Tiergan is shown to be very protective of Wylie in all of the books, especially after Wylie was attacked by the Neverseen.

* **Prentice Endal (best friend, possible love interest)**

Prentice and Tiergan were very close—so close that Tiergan was first in line to adopt Wylie before Wylie's actual family. When Prentice's mind was broken, Tiergan was full of grief and blamed Alden for the incident because Alden was the one who accused Prentice of rebellion.

* **Sophie Foster (prodigy)**

Tiergan came back from retirement to Foxfire to teach Sophie. He respects her a lot and believes in her abilities and ideas and trusts her to make good decisions.

* **Alden Vacker (dislike but eventually respect)**

Tiergan has a lot of anger towards Alden, blaming him for the loss of Prentice. He seems to gain more respect for Alden, however, after he finds Sophie. He also is able to get past his own feelings to help the Vacker family with the grief of the loss of Alden when his mind is broken.

* **The Elvin Council** **(dislike)**

Tiergan doesn't like the Council because they allowed the memory break of Prentice.

* **Mr. Forkle / Sir Astin / Magnate Leto Kerlof  (Fellow Collective member)**

In Book 4: *Neverseen* it was revealed that Tiergan works on the Collective under the name Granite with Mr. Forkle and it was suggested that the two could be friends or relatively close seeing how the two are around one another more than their other fellow Collective members.

* **Blur  (Fellow Collective member)**

In Book 4: *Neverseen* it was revealed that Tiergan works on the Collective under the name Granite with Blur. They work together constantly.

* **Squall / Juline Dizznee  (Fellow Collective member)**

In Book 4: *Neverseen* it was revealed that Tiergan works on the Collective under the name Granite with Squall. They work together constantly.

* **Wraith  (Fellow Collective member)**

* **Fitz Vacker  (prodigy)**

In Book 3: *Everblaze* and Book 2: *Exile*, Fitz began attending Sophie's telepathy class with Tiergan. Even though he told Alden he would never train any Vackers, he ended up doing so.
